ENZYME entry: EC 3.4.22.49
| Accepted Name |
|---|
| separase.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
|---|
| separin. |
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| All bonds known to be hydrolyzed by this endopeptidase have arginine in P1 and an acidic residue in P4. P6 is often occupied by an acidic residue or by a hydroxy-amino-acid residue, the phosphorylation of which enhances cleavage |
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- In both Saccharomyces cerevisiae and human cells, cleavage of the
cohesin subunit Scc1 by separase is required for sister chromatid
separation in mitosis.
- S.cerevisiae separase is also known to cleave the Rec8 subunit of a
meiotic cohesin complex and the kinetochore protein Slk19.
- Belongs to peptidase family C50.
