| Accepted Name |
|---|
| Yapsin 1.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
|---|
| Aspartic proteinase 3. |
| Yeast aspartic protease 3. |
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| Hydrolyzes various precursor proteins with Arg or Lys in P1, and commonly Arg or Lys also in P2. The P3 amino acid is usually non-polar, but otherwise additional basic amino acids are favorable in both non-prime and prime positions |
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- Weakly inhibited by pepstatin.
- Can partially substitute for kexin in a deficient strain of
Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
- The homologous product of the MKC7 gene (S.cerevisiae) has similar
catalytic activity and has been termed yapsin 2.
- Belongs to peptidase family A1.
