Abstract excerpt
The vitamin K-dependent gamma-glutamyl carboxylase binds an 18-amino acid sequence usually attached as a propeptide to its substrates. Price and Williamson (Protein Sci. (1993) 2, 1997-1998) noticed that residues 495-513 of the carboxylase shares similarity with the propeptide. They suggested that this internal propeptide could bind intramolecularly to the propeptide binding site of carboxylase, thereby...
