General annotation (Comments)

Function

Cleaves type-4 fimbrial leader sequence and methylates the N-terminal (generally Phe) residue By similarity.

Catalytic activity

Typically cleaves a -Gly-|-Phe- bond to release an N-terminal, basic peptide of 5-8 residues from type IV prepilin, and then N-methylates the new N-terminal amino group, the methyl donor being S-adenosyl-L-methionine.

Subcellular location

Cell inner membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Induction

Silenced by the DNA-binding protein H-NS under standard growth conditions. Ref.7

Miscellaneous

Part of a cryptic operon that encodes proteins involved in type II secretion machinery in other organisms, but is not expressed in strain K12. However, GspO is functional when expressed from a stronger promoter (Ref.6).

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the peptidase A24 family.
