Grifolisin, a member of the sedolisin family produced by the fungus Grifola frondosa

Molecular and enzymatic properties of grifolisin, a member of the sedolisin family produced by the fungus Grifola frondosa, were characterized. The coding region of the grifolisin gene (gfrF) has 1960-base pair cDNA. The predicted mature grifolisin protein consisted of 365 residues and was 26% identical to that of sedolisin.
