Accepted name: |
oligopeptidase A |
Reaction: |
Hydrolysis of oligopeptides, with broad specificity. Gly or Ala commonly occur as P1 or P1′ residues, but more distant residues are also important, as is shown by the fact that Z-Gly-Pro-Gly┼Gly-Pro-Ala is cleaved, but not Z-(Gly)5 [4] |
Other name(s): |
68000-M signalpeptide hydrolase |
Comments: |
Known from Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium. A zinc metallopeptidase, in peptidase family M3 (thimet oligopeptidase family), but differs from thimet oligopeptidase in lack of thiol-activation |
