FUNCTION This protein specifically catalyzes the removal of signal peptides from prolipoproteins (By similarity).
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Release of signal peptides from bacterial membrane prolipoproteins. Hydrolyzes -Xaa-Yaa-Zaa-|-(S,diacylglyceryl)Cys-, in which Xaa is hydrophobic (preferably Leu), and Yaa (Ala or Ser) and Zaa (Gly or Ala) have small, neutral side chains.
PATHWAY Protein modification; lipoprotein biosynthesis (signal peptide cleavage).
case not defined <Property:Membrane> or <Property:Membrane=1>
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein (By similarity).
else case <Property:Membrane=2>
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Cell inner membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein (By similarity).
end case
SIMILARITY Belongs to the peptidase A8 family.
