UniProt functional annotation for P09391

UniProt code: P09391.

Organism: Escherichia coli (strain K12).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia.
 
Function: Rhomboid-type serine protease that catalyzes intramembrane proteolysis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16216077, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17099694}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=Cleaves type-1 transmembrane domains using a catalytic dyad composed of serine and histidine that are contributed by different transmembrane domains.; EC=3.4.21.105;
Subcellular location: Cell inner membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16216077}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16216077}.
Domain: The loop between transmembrane domains 5 and 6 is flexible and may readily open to the extracellular side to allow water entry into the active site cavity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17099694}.
