| Official Name |
|---|
| Ste24 endopeptidase.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
|---|
| CAAX prenyl protease 1. |
| Prenyl protein-specific endoprotease 1. |
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| The peptide bond hydrolyzed can be designated -C-|-A-A-X in which C is an S-isoprenylated cysteine residue, A is usually aliphatic and X is the C-terminal residue of the substrate protein, and may be any of several amino acids |
| Cofactor(s) |
|---|
| Zinc.
|
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- One of two enzymes that can catalyze this processing step for mating
a-factor in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
- Subsequently, the S-isoprenylated cysteine residue that forms the new
C-terminus is methyl-esterified and forms a hydrophobic membrane-
anchor.
- Belongs to peptidase family M48.
