neutral proteinase II;
Penicillium roqueforti metalloproteinase
|
| Class |
Hydrolases;
Acting on peptide bonds (peptidases);
Metalloendopeptidases
 |
| Reaction(IUBMB) |
Preferential cleavage of bonds with hydrophobic residues in P1'; also Asn3!Gln and Gly8!Ser bonds in insulin B chain
|
| Comment |
Proteolytic activity found in Penicillium roqueforti [4], P. caseicolum [4], Aspergillus sojae [3] and A. oryzae [1,5]. Optimum pH of 5 for digesting various proteins. Strong action on protamine and histones. Insensitive to phosphoramidon. About 20 kDa. A distinct Aspergillus sojae endopeptidase is larger and has a neutral pH optimum. Type example of peptidase family M35. Formerly included in EC 3.4.24.4
