DegP protease

serine protease that is required at high temperature; involved in the degradation of damaged proteins; found in bacteria and plant species; cleaves the colicin A lysis protein precursor into 2 acetylated fragments; it can degrade iciA, ada, casein and globin; shared specificity with degQ in E coli; GenBank AF028842 (Arabidopsis)

Also Known As:

DEG7 protein, Arabidopsis; DEGP protein, Arabidopsis; E coli serine protease Do; HtrA protein, Arabidopsis; degP protein, E coli; htrA protein, E coli; protease Do; protease Do protein, Arabidopsis; ptd protein, E coli
