title: Novel proteases with unusual specificities.
abstract: This review describes specific proteases that have been implicated in several interesting biological systems. Proteases have been selected for discussion in those instances where natural substrates appear to have been identified. The studies reviewed point to the critical role that proteases play in protein processing and degradation.
