Abstract excerpt
The propeptide of subtilisin E (the N-terminal 77 amino acid extension) is required for the proper folding of the nascent mature protein and is also a potent and specific inhibitor of the active enzyme. Previous studies have demonstrated that the propeptide can renature denatured mature sequence either in cis or in trans and can be considered an intramolecular chaperone, since it is not required for activity of...
