3.4.21.48 |
| Accepted name: |
cerevisin |
| Reaction: |
Hydrolysis of proteins with broad specificity, and of Bz-Arg-OEt Ac-Tyr-OEt. Does not hydrolyse peptide amides |
| Other name(s): |
yeast proteinase B; proteinase yscB (gene name); baker‘s yeast proteinase B; brewer’s yeast proteinase; peptidase β |
| Comments: |
From Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast, brewer's yeast). In peptidase family S8 (subtilisin family), but contains a Cys residue near the active site His, and is inhibited by mercurials. Proteinase ycaB is a similar enzyme from the yeast Candida albicans [3] |
