ASP external chaperone

UniProtKB accession:  W5JXD7

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Required for the production of the active form of the Aeromonas extracellular serine protease (ASP) (PubMed:11092244, PubMed:12446656, PubMed:25784551). Acts as a chaperone that helps ASP form an active structure in the periplasm (PubMed:12446656, PubMed:25784551). Formation of a complex with ASP in the periplasm also inactivates the protease activity and likely protects ASP from intrinsic proteases (PubMed:25784551). Dissociation of the ASP-ORF2 complex after secretion in the extracellular space generates an active ASP (PubMed:25784551).
