- * Streptomyces subtilisin-type inhibitors signature *
- *****************************************************
-
- Bacteria of the Streptomyces family produce a family of proteinase inhibitors
- [1] which are characterized by their strong activity toward subtilisin. They
- are collectively known as SSI (Streptomyces Subtilisin Inhibitors). Some SSI
- also inhibit trypsin or chymotrypsin. In their mature secreted form, the SSI
- are proteins of about 110 residues which contain two conserved disulfide
- bonds.

- 'C': conserved cysteine involved in a disulfide bond.
- '#': active site residue.
- '*': position of the pattern.
-
- -Consensus pattern: C-A-P-x(2)-[ST]-G-T-H-P-A-x(3)-A-C
- [The two C's are involved in a disulfide bond]
- -Sequences known to belong to this class detected by the pattern: ALL.
- -Other sequence(s) detected in SWISS-PROT: NONE.
