| Feature Type | ORF, Verified |
| Description | Ca2+-dependent cysteine protease; may cleave specific substrates during the stress response; regulates apoptosis upon H2O2 treatment; required for clearance of insoluble protein aggregates during normal growth; implicated in cell cycle dynamics; undergoes autocatalytic processing; similar to mammalian metacaspases, but exists as a monomer due to an extra pair of anti-parallel beta-strands that form a continuous beta-sheet, blocking potential dimerization (2, 3, 4, 5) Also known as: [MCA] 6 |
