Reaction catalysed
Processes precursors containing basic and hydrophobic/aliphatic residues at P4 and P2, respectively, with a relatively relaxed acceptance of amino acids at P1 and P3
Comment(s)
  • Cleaves sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) and thereby initiates a process by which the active fragments of the SREBPs translocate to the nucleus and activate genes controlling the synthesis and uptake of cholesterol and unsaturated fatty acids into the bloodstream.
  • The enzyme also processes pro-brain-derived neurotrophic factor and undergoes autocatalytic activation in the endoplasmic reticulum through sequential cleavages.
  • The enzyme can also process the unfolded protein response stress factor ATF6 at an Arg-His-Lys-Lys-|- site, and the envelope glycoprotein of the highly infectious Lassa virus and Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever virus at Arg-Arg-Lys-Lys-|-.
  • Belongs to peptidase family S8A.
