physiological function | deleting the amino-terminal EF-hands activates proteolysis prematurely. Residues in cytoplasmic loops connecting distal transmembrane segments mediate calcium stimulation. Presence of calcium increases catalytic rate by promoting substrate gating. Substrates with cleavage sites outside the membrane can be cleaved but lose the capacity to be regulated | Drosophila melanogaster |
