The mlrC metalloprotease

A cassette of enzymes endogenous to Sphingopyxis sp. has been shown to sequentially break down microcystin-LR (the most common and toxic microcystin that results from harmful algal blooms). The enzymes have been named mlrA, mlrB, mlrC, mlrD, mlrE, and mlrF.

MlrC is the third enzyme in the microcystin-degradation pathway. MlrC is assumed to be a metallopeptidase. It cleaves the tetrapeptide intermediate into an Adda amino acid and other smaller peptides. The exact smaller peptides that result are still unknown.
