The bli-4 locus of Caenorhabditis elegans encodes structurally distinct kex2/subtilisin-like endoproteases essential for early development and adult morphology.

Genes & development - 15 Apr 1995

Thacker C, Peters K, Srayko M, Rose A M

Abstract excerpt

Many secreted proteins are excised from inactive proproteins by cleavage at pairs of basic residues. Recent studies have identified several serine endoproteases that catalyze this cleavage in the secretory pathways of yeast and metazoans. These enzymes belong to the kex2/subtilisin-like family of proprotein convertases. In this paper we describe the molecular characterization of the bli-4 gene from Caenorhabditis...
