Flavastacin is a zinc metalloendopeptidase in peptidase family M12 (astacin family), secreted by the bacterium Flavobacterium meningosepticum (now Elizabethkingia meningoseptica). Its specificity resembles peptidyl-Asp metalloendopeptidase from Pseudomonas fragi but the two are structurally dissimilar. It hydrolyzes polypeptides on the amino side of Asp in -Xaa-/-Asp-, and acts very slowly on -Xaa-/-Glu. In the bacterium it digests extracellular proteins. It features an astacin-like zinc catalytic fold.
