Val peptide bond that is also hydrolysed by the mammalian u-plasminogen activator and t-plasminogen activator. Also cleaves arginyl bonds in other proteins
Reaction: Converts human Glu-plasminogen to plasmin by cleaving the Arg560Val peptide bond that is also hydrolysed by the mammalian u-plasminogen activator and t-plasminogen activator. Also cleaves arginyl bonds in other proteins
Comments: In peptidase family A26. From the bacterium Yersinia pestis that causes plague.
