General annotation (Comments)

Function

Serine protease capable of cleaving pepsin A and human coagulation factor V, which may contribute to the mucosal hemorrhage observed in hemorrhagic colitis. Ref.1 Ref.6

Enzyme regulation

Inhibition of cytotoxic activity by phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride. Ref.1

Subcellular location

Serine protease espP: Periplasm By similarity.

Secreted autotransporter protein espP: Secreted. Cell surface.

Autotransporter protein espP translocator: Cell outer membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein By similarity. Note: The cleaved C-terminal fragment (autotransporter domain) is localized in the outer membrane By similarity.

Induction

Expression is optimal at 37 degrees Celsius, and inhibited at 20 degrees Celsius. It is dependent on both temperature and pH. Ref.1

Domain

The signal peptide, cleaved at the inner membrane, guides the autotransporter protein to the periplasmic space. Then, insertion of the C-terminal translocator domain in the outer membrane forms a hydrophilic pore for the translocation of the passenger domain to the bacterial cell surface, with subsequent cleavage.

Post-translational modification

Cleaved to release the mature protein from the outer membrane.

Miscellaneous

Mutagenesis experiments show the presence of a linker region, which is required for the translocation of the protease domain across the outer membrane. This linker region is located immediately upstream of the C-terminal helper domain.

The signal peptide may also act as a transient membrane anchor that prevents the protease domain from misfolding in the periplasm.

Sequence similarities

Contains 1 autotransporter (TC 1.B.12) domain. [View classification]

Contains 1 peptidase S6 domain.

Caution

Strain 3010/96 exhibits a partial deletion of the gene.
