Abstract
⺠The tail nick of a bacterial protease ASP retards inhibition by α2-macroglobulin. ⺠This is the first report of such an effect of nicking in a protease. ⺠Consequently, the nicked ASP can keep proteolytic activity for longer in the host. ⺠This nick may be an invention of Aeromonas sobria to augment ASP virulence.
