ENZYME entry: EC 3.4.21.116
Accepted Name |
SpoIVB peptidase.
|
Alternative Name(s) |
Sporulation factor IV B protease. |
Stage IV sporulation protein B. |
Reaction catalysed |
Self-cleaves 52-Val-|-Asn-53, 62-Ala-|-Phe-63 and 74-Val-|-Thr-75 at the N-terminus of SpoIVB |
Comment(s) |
- This enzyme plays a central role in a regulatory checkpoint (the
sigma(K) checkpoint), which coordinates gene expression during the
later stages of spore formation in Bacillus subtilis.
- The enzyme activates proteolytic processing of a sporulation-specific
sigma factor, pro-sigma(K), to its mature and active form, sigma(K),
by self-cleavage.
- The enzyme is also subject to secondary proteolysis, which presumably
inactivates SpoIVB.
- The enzyme is also essential for the formation of heat-resistant
spores.
- Belongs to peptidase family S55.
