The role of an activating peptide in protease-mediated suicide of Escherichia coli K12.
Activation of latent proteinases ensures that the timing of proteolysis is regulated precisely, a process that generally involves proteolytic excision of a pro-region or a tightly bound inhibitor. Here we define the activation mechanism for Lit, a dormant suicide proteinase in Escherichia coli K-12....
