Abstract: Protealysin is a thermolysin‐like protease of Serratia proteamaculans capable of specifically cleaving actin, which correlates with the invasive activity of these bacteria. Here, we show that inactivation of the protealysin gene does not inhibit invasion… read more here.

Bacterial Actin-Specific Endoproteases Grimelysin and Protealysin as Virulence Factors Contributing to the Invasive Activities of Serratia
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "International Journal of Molecular Sciences"
DOI: 10.3390/ijms21114025
Abstract: The article reviews the discovery, properties and functional activities of new bacterial enzymes, proteases grimelysin (ECP 32) of Serratia grimesii and protealysin of Serratia proteamaculans, characterized by both a highly specific “actinase” activity and their… read more here.
