| Comments | These endopeptidases are multi-spanning membrane proteins. Their catalytic site is embedded within the membrane and they cleave type-1 transmembrane domains. A catalytic dyad is involved in proteolysis rather than a catalytic triad, as was thought previously [14]. They are important for embryo development in?Drosophila melanogaster. Rhomboid is a key regulator of EGF receptor signalling and is responsible for cleaving Spitz, the main ligand of the?Drosophila?EGF receptor pathway. Belongs in peptidase family?S54. Parasite-encoded rhomboid enzymes are also important for invasion of host cells by?Toxoplasma?and the malaria parasite. Rhomboids are widely conserved from bacteria to archaea to humans [9,13]. |

| Reactions | Cleaves type-1 transmembrane domains using a catalytic dyad composed of serine and histidine that are contributed by different transmembrane domains. |
