Type: | Domain | Name: | Preflagellin peptidase, C-terminal |
Description: | This region is of unknown function, which is found at the C terminus of archaeal preflagellin peptidase [, ]. The preflagellin peptidase is a membrane-bound enzyme topologically similar to its counterpart in the type IV pilus system (prepilin peptidase); the two enzymes utilizing the same catalytic mechanism []. The preflagellin peptidase is required for the removal of the leader peptide from archaeal flagellin []. | Short Name: | Preflagellin_peptidase_C |
