prepilin peptidase
Peptidase A24, or the prepilin peptidase as it is also known, processes the N-terminus of the prepilins [1]. The processing is essential for the correct formation of the pseudopili of type IV bacterial protein secretion. The enzyme is found across eubacteria and archaea [2]. [1]. 10625704. The type 4 prepilin peptidases comprise a novel family of aspartic acid proteases. LaPointe CF, Taylor RK;. J Biol Chem 2000;275:1502-1510. [2]. 12813086. Archaeal homolog of bacterial type IV prepilin signal peptidases with broad substrate specificity. Albers SV, Szabo Z, Driessen AJ;. J Bacteriol 2003;185:3918-3925. (from Pfam)
A24 family peptidase
A24 family peptidase such as prepilin peptidase, which processes type 4 pilin precursor proteins (prepilins) to their mature forms by removal of leader peptides
