General annotation (Comments)

Function

Subtilisin is an extracellular alkaline serine protease, it catalyzes the hydrolysis of proteins and peptide amides. Subtilisin NAT also has fibrinolytic activity.

Catalytic activity

Hydrolysis of proteins with broad specificity for peptide bonds, and a preference for a large uncharged residue in P1. Hydrolyzes peptide amides.

Cofactor

Binds 2 calcium ions per subunit By similarity.

Subunit structure

Monomer.

Subcellular location

Secreted.

Miscellaneous

Secretion of subtilisin is associated with onset of sporulation, and many mutations which block sporulation at early stages affect expression levels of subtilisin. However, subtilisin is not necessary for normal sporulation.

In Japan this enzyme, isolated from a process of fermentation involving boiled soybeans and Bacillus natto, is used as a food supplement because it is reported to reduce and prevent blood clotting.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the peptidase S8 family.
