Comments
This enzyme belongs to the peptidase family-M8.
According to the literature [16], this enzyme is classified as a metzincin class zinc proteinase, which includes astacin (S00394 in EzCatDB), serralysin (D00236), adamalysin (S00399). However, the homologous family in the CATH classification of these enzymes (CATH 3.40.390.10) are different from that of this enzyme, although the strucutre of active site (residues 200-272) of this enzyme can be superimposed to those active sites. It suggests a distant evolutionarily relationships with these enzymes.
According to the literature [11] & [16], this enzyme seems to have a similar mechanism to those of the above enzymes. Among them, adamalysin (S00399) and neutrophil collagenase (S00397) have got similar active sites, suggesting that this enzyme has the same reaction mechanism as those of these enzymes.
