Acting on peptide bonds (peptidases);
Cysteine endopeptidases
Reaction(IUBMB)
Endopeptidase with strict specificity for lysyl bonds
Comment
Activity is stimulated by glycine. Known from the bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis and contributes to the pathogenicity of the organism. In peptidase family C25.
Lysine- and arginine-specific proteinases from Porphyromonas gingivalis. Isolation, characterization, and evidence for the existence of complexes with hemagglutinins.
