Accepted Name
thermopsin
Reaction catalysed
Specificity similar to pepsin A, prefers bulky hydrophobic side-chains on either side of the scissible bond
Comment(s)
  • Isolated from cells and culture medium of the thermophilic archae Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, optimum digestion at pH 2 and 90 degrees Celsius, inhibited by pepstatin.
  • Another thermostable bacterial endopeptidase has been isolated from Bacillus sp., but this is not inhibited by pepstatin.
  • Belongs to peptidase family A5.
  • Formerly EC 3.4.99.43.
