Abstract excerpt
Bacillus subtilis has five type I signal peptidases, one of these, SipW, is an archaeal-like peptidase. SipW is expressed in an operon (tapA-sipW-tasA) and is responsible for removing the signal peptide from two proteins: TapA and TasA. It is unclear from the signal peptide sequence of TasA and TapA, why an archaeal-like signal peptidase is required for their processing. Bioinformatic analysis of TasA and TapA...
