Protein Domain : IPR014346

Type:  Family Name:  Prenyl protease-related
Description:  Members of this protein family are fusion proteins of exosortase (N-terminal) and a CAAX prenyl protease domain (C-terminal). Members are restricted to the alpha Proteobacteria. The variant C-terminal protein sequence VPEID-CTERM occurs only in these species, often adjacent []. In eukaryotes, CAAX prenyl protease catalyzes three covalent modifications, including the cleavage and acylation at the C terminus of certain proteins in a process connected to protein sorting. This entry describes a bacterial protein homologous to one domain of the CAAX-processing enzyme. Members of this protein are found in genomes that carry a predicted protein sorting system, PEP-CTERM/exosortase, usually in the vicinity of the EpsH homologue that is the hallmark of the system. The function of this protein is unknown, but it may relate to protein modification. Short Name:  Prenyl_protease-related
