Type I signal peptidases are important membrane-bound serine proteases responsible for the cleavage of the signal peptide of the proteins. These enzymes are unique serine proteases that carry out catalysis using a serine/lysine catalytic dyad. In the present study, we report the isolation of type I signal peptidase from the malaria parasites Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium knowlesi, and Plasmodium yoelii and some characterization of type I signal peptidase of Plasmodium falciparum. We show tha ...[more]
