Involved in the programmed cell death caused by defective N-glycosylation and contributes also to the active cell death program induced by acetic acid stress or during chronological aging. Promotes cell fusion by proteolytically processing substrates that act in parallel to PRM1 as an alternative fusion machine, as cell wall components, or both.

Publication Abstract from PubMed Kex1p is a prohormone-processing serine carboxypeptidase found in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In contrast to yeast serine carboxypeptidase (CPD-Y) and wheat serine carboxypeptidase II (CPDW-II), Kex1p displays a very narrow specificity for lysyl or arginyl residues at the C-terminus of the substrate. The structure of Kex1Deltap, an enzyme that lacks the acidic domain and membrane-spanning portion of Kex1p, has been solved by a combination of molecular replacement and multiple isomorphous replacement and refined to a resolution of 2.4 A. The S1' site of Kex1Deltap is sterically restricted compared to those from CPD-Y or CPDW-II; it also contains two acidic groups that are well positioned to interact with the basic group of a lysine or arginine side chain. The high specificity of Kex1p can therefore be explained by a combination of steric and electronic factors. The structure of the S1 site of Kex1Deltap is also well suited for binding of a lysine or arginine side chain, and the enzyme may therefore exhibit a preference for these residues at P1.
