FunFam 62: GlpG peptidase

There are 1 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Rhomboid protease. [EC: 3.4.21.105]
Cleaves type-1 transmembrane domains using a catalytic dyad composed of serine and histidine that are contributed by different transmembrane domains.
  • These endopeptidases are multi-spanning membrane proteins.
  • Their catalytic site is embedded within the membrane and they cleave type-1 transmembrane domains.
  • Important for embryo development in Drosophila melanogaster.
  • Rhomboid is a key regulator of EGF receptor signaling and is responsible for cleaving Spitz, the main ligand of the Drosophila EGF receptor pathway.
  • Parasite-encoded rhomboid enzymes are also important for invasion of host cells by Toxoplasma and the malaria parasite.
  • Belongs to peptidase family S54.
