HycI peptidase (EC 3.4.23.51, HycI, HycE processing protein) is an enzyme.[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- This enzyme specifically removes a 32-amino acid peptide from the C-terminus of the precursor of the large subunit of hydrogenase 3 in Escherichia coli by cleavage at the C-terminal side of Arg537.
This enzyme belongs to the peptidase family A31.
