caseinase activity

traitmech:000137 · CLASS · PROPOSED

A physiological enzyme-activity phenotype in which a cell produces active caseinase proteases that hydrolyze casein.

Trait evidence (2)

  • DOI:10.3389/fmicb.2018.01148
    two enzymes secreted by a B. cereus RC6 strain that permits the degradation of casein

    Ouertani et al. identify secreted Bacillus cereus RC6 proteases that degrade casein in a dairy-product context.

  • DOI:10.2174/1874285801408010025
    screened for enzyme production (caseinase, gelatinase, amylase, carboxymethyl cellulase, and esterase)

    Alves et al. use caseinase as a reusable extracellular hydrolytic-enzyme phenotype while screening environmental microbial isolates.

Not yet attached to a section of this record — a curator sets attaches_to (e.g. causal_graphs#some_edge) so the gap shows beside the mechanism it concerns.

GO:0008233 is a generic peptidase-activity class and is too broad for caseinase activity as an equivalent TraitRecord xref.
