Thermolysin
Definition:
EC Tree > 3 Hydrolases > 3.4 Acting on peptide bonds (peptidases) > 3.4.24 Metalloendopeptidases > 3.4.24.27 thermolysin
Bacillolysin is a zinc metalloendopeptidase in peptidase family M4 (thermolysin family), formerly included in EC 3.4.24.4. Variants occur in Bacillus species including B. subtilis, B. amyloliquefaciens, B. megaterium (megateriopeptidase), B. mesentericus, B. cereus and B. stearothermophilus. Its specificity is similar but not identical to thermolysin. In bacilli it digests extracellular proteins. It features a thermolysin-like zinc catalytic fold.
