Conservation of intramembrane proteolytic activity and substrate specificity in prokaryotic and eukaryotic rhomboids.
Rhomboid is an intramembrane serine protease responsible for the proteolytic activation of Drosophila epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) ligands. Although nothing is known about the function of the approximately 100 currently known rhomboid genes conserved throughout evolution, a recent analysi...
