| Comment(s) |
|---|
- From Thermoactinomyces vulgaris containing a single Cys, near the
active site His, and inhibited by p-mercuribenzoate.
- The N-terminal extension of the polypeptide chain relative to
subtilisin contributes to calcium-binding and the high
thermostability.
- The amino acid composition and properties of the thermostable enzyme
from Streptomyces rectus var. proteolyticus are closely similar.
- Belongs to peptidase family S8.
