Abstract excerpt
A subclass of SEA (sea urchin sperm protein, enterokinase, and agrin) domain proteins undergoes autoproteolysis between glycine and serine in a conserved G(-1)S+1VVV motif to generate stable heterodimers. Autoproteolysis has been suggested to involve only the intramolecular catalytic action of the conserved serine hydroxyl in combination with conformational strain of the glycine-serine peptide bond. We conducted...
