The role of multifunctional M1 metallopeptidases in cell cycle progression
21 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Metallopeptidases of the M1 family are found in all phyla (except viruses) and are important in the cell cycle and normal growth and development. M1s often have spatiotemporal expression patterns which allow for strict regulation of activity. Mutations in the genes encoding M1s result in disease and are often lethal. This family of zinc metallopeptidases all share the catalytic region containing a...
