Comments: The enzyme from the archaeon Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3 is thermostable. In that enzyme Cys(100) is the nucleophile responsible for the proteolytic activity, while Tyr(120) regulates the catalytic conformation of Cys(100) through a hydrogen bond, thereby affecting enzyme activity. The activity with L-Arginine is 90-300 times higher than with other N-terminal amino acids. The enzyme shows low endopeptidase activity.
