3.4.21.123

Accepted name:

kumamolysin

Reaction:

The enzyme preferentially hydrolyses peptides having an Ala or Pro residue at P2 position and prefers such charged amino acid residues as Glu or Arg at the P2′ position. In the oxidized insulin B chain, kumamolysin preferentially cleaves between Leu¹⁵ and Tyr¹⁶

Other name(s):

KSCP; kumamolisin

Comments:

This bacterial pepstatin-insensitive carboxyl proteinase has been isolated and characterized from Bacillus sp. MN-32 and from several Burkholderia spp. Kumamolysin from Bacillus sp. MN-32 exhibits a Ser²⁷⁸/Glu⁷⁸/Asp⁸² catalytic triad. The enzyme is a type example of peptidase family S53 in the MEROPS Peptidase Database.
