The PRB1 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae encodes the vacuolar endoprotease protease B. We have determined the DNA sequence of the PRB1 gene and the amino acid sequence of the amino terminus of mature protease B. The deduced amino acid sequence of this serine protease shares extensive homology with those of subtilisin, proteinase K, and related proteases. The open reading frame of PRB1 consists of 635 codons and, therefore, encodes a very large protein (molecular weight, greater than 69,000) relative to the observed size of mature protease B (molecular weight, 33,000). Examination of the gene sequence, the determined amino-terminal sequence, and empirical molecular weight determinations suggests that the preproenzyme must be processed at both amino and carboxy termini and that asparagine-linked glycosylation occurs at an unusual tripeptide acceptor sequence.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008247 Lysosomes A class of morphologically heterogeneous cytoplasmic particles in animal and plant tissues characterized by their content of hydrolytic enzymes and the structure-linked latency of these enzymes. The intracellular functions of lysosomes depend on their lytic potential. The single unit membrane of the lysosome acts as a barrier between the enzymes enclosed in the lysosome and the external substrate. The activity of the enzymes contained in lysosomes is limited or nil unless the vesicle in which they are enclosed is ruptured or undergoes MEMBRANE FUSION. (From Rieger et al., Glossary of Genetics: Classical and Molecular, 5th ed). Autolysosome,Autolysosomes,Lysosome
D008969 Molecular Sequence Data Descriptions of specific amino acid, carbohydrate, or nucleotide sequences which have appeared in the published literature and/or are deposited in and maintained by databanks such as GENBANK, European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), National Biomedical Research Foundation (NBRF), or other sequence repositories.

D008970 Molecular Weight The sum of the weight of all the atoms in a molecule. Molecular Weights,Weight, Molecular,Weights, Molecular
D009940 Organoids An organization of cells into an organ-like structure. Organoids can be generated in culture, e.g., self-organized three-dimensional tissue structures derived from STEM CELLS (see MICROPHYSIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS). They are also found in certain NEOPLASMS. Organoid
D003062 Codon A set of three nucleotides in a protein coding sequence that specifies individual amino acids or a termination signal (CODON, TERMINATOR). Most codons are universal, but some organisms do not produce the transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER) complementary to all codons. These codons are referred to as unassigned codons (CODONS, NONSENSE).
