| UniProt functional annotation for O59179 | |||
| UniProt code: O59179. |
| Organism: | Pyrococcus horikoshii (strain ATCC 700860 / DSM 12428 / JCM 9974 / NBRC 100139 / OT-3). | |
| Taxonomy: | Archaea; Euryarchaeota; Thermococci; Thermococcales; Thermococcaceae; Pyrococcus. | |
| Function: | Protease that cleaves its substrates preferentially near hydrophobic or aromatic amino acid residues. Can degrade casein and the stomatin homolog PH1511 (in vitro). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15611110, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16574150, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24121343}. | |
| Activity regulation: | Inhibited by divalent metal cations, including Mg(2+), Mn(2+), Ca(2+) and Zn(2+). Mildly inhibited by 0.01 % SDS and 0.1% dodecyl-beta-D-maltoside. Activity is nearly abolished by 1 % SDS. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15611110}. | |
| Biophysicochemical properties: | pH dependence: Optimum pH is 5-6. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15611110}; Temperature dependence: Optimum temperature is above 90 degrees Celsius. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15611110}; | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15611110, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16574150, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18421152, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22475127}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Membrane {ECO:0000305}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the peptidase S14 family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
