Characterization of substrate specificity and novel autoprocessing mechanism of dipeptidase A from Prevotella intermedia.

In conclusion, the marked Arg-MCA-hydrolyzing activity in Pre. intermedia was mediated by BAU17746 belonging to the C69-family dipeptidase A, in which the mature form carries an essential cysteine at the N-terminus.
