EC 3.4.21.100

Accepted name:sedolisin

Reaction: Hydrolysis of the B chain of insulin at -Glu13Ala-, -Leu15Tyr- and -Phe25Tyr-, and angiotensin I at -Tyr4Ile-. A good synthetic substrate is Lys-Pro-Ile-Glu-PhePhe(NO2)-Arg-Leu.

Other name(s): Pseudomonas sp. pepstatin-insensitive carboxyl proteinase; pseudomonapepsin; pseudomonalisin; sedolysin

Comments: An enzyme secreted by Pseudomonas sp. No. 101. Optimum pH is 4. It is distinguished from xanthomonapepsin by its insensitivity to EPNP and from scytalidopepsin B by this property and by its unrelated amino-acid sequence. Inhibited by tyrostatin, a peptide aldehyde [2]. Type example of peptidase family S53.
