UniProt functional annotation for P00780

UniProt code: P00780.

Organism: Bacillus licheniformis.
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacilli; Bacillales; Bacillaceae; Bacillus.
 
Function: Subtilisin is an extracellular alkaline serine protease, it catalyzes the hydrolysis of proteins and peptide amides (Ref.4, PubMed:11109488). Shows high specificity for aromatic and hydrophobic amino acids in the P1 substrate position (PubMed:11109488). May play an important role in the degradation of feather keratin (PubMed:11109488). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11109488, ECO:0000269|Ref.4}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=Hydrolysis of proteins with broad specificity for peptide bonds, and a preference for a large uncharged residue in P1. Hydrolyzes peptide amides.; EC=3.4.21.62; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:11109488, ECO:0000269|Ref.4};
