Recombinant TEV protease, used in the cleavage of affinity tags, recognizes the consensus sequence ENLYFQ\S, where "\" is the cleavage site.
TEV protease (EC 3.4.22.44, Tobacco Etch Virus nuclear-inclusion-a endopeptidase) is a highly sequence-specific cysteine protease from Tobacco Etch Virus (TEV). It is a member of the PA clan of chymotrypsin-like proteases. Due to its high sequence specificity it is frequently used for the controlled cleavage of fusion proteins in vitro and in vivo.
