RIP metalloprotease RseP Members of this nearly universal bacterial protein family are regulated intramembrane proteolysis (RIP) proteases. Older and synonymous gene symbols include yaeL in E. coli, mmpA in Caulobacter crescentus, etc. This family includes a region that hits the PDZ domain, found in a number of proteins targeted to the membrane by binding to a peptide ligand. The N-terminal region of this family contains a perfectly conserved motif HEXGH as found in a number of metalloproteinases, where the Glu is the active site and the His residues coordinate the metal cation. Membership in this family is determined by a match to the full length of the seed alignment; the model also detects fragments as well matches a number of members of the PEPTIDASE FAMILY S2C. The region of match appears not to overlap the active site domain. [Protein fate, Degradation of proteins, peptides, and glycopeptides]
