GO:0016485 protein processing Any protein maturation process achieved by the cleavage of a peptide bond or bonds within a protein. Protein maturation is the process leading to the attainment of the full functional capacity of a protein. 19
GO:0006465 signal peptide processing The proteolytic removal of a signal peptide from a protein during or after transport to a specific location in the cell. 12
GO:0031638 zymogen activation The proteolytic processing of an inactive enzyme to an active form. 11
GO:0016540 protein autoprocessing Processing which a protein carries out itself. This involves actions such as the autolytic removal of residues to generate the mature form of the protein. 8
GO:0034230 enkephalin processing The formation of mature enkephalin, a pentapeptide hormone involved in regulating pain and nociception in the body by proteolytic processing of enkephalin propeptide. 6
GO:0016486 peptide hormone processing The generation of a mature peptide hormone by posttranslational processing of a prohormone. 5
GO:0032455 nerve growth factor processing The generation of a mature nerve growth factor (NGF) by proteolysis of a precursor. 5
GO:0034982 mitochondrial protein processing The peptide cleavage of mitochondrial proteins, including cleavage contributing to their import. 4
GO:0031639 plasminogen activation The process in which inactive plasminogen is processed to active plasmin. This process includes cleavage at an internal Arg-Val site to form an N-terminal A-chain and C-terminal B-chain held together by a disulfide bond, and can include further proteolytic cleavage events to remove the preactivation peptide. 4
GO:0030070 insulin processing The formation of mature insulin by proteolysis of the precursor preproinsulin. The signal sequence is first cleaved from preproinsulin to form proinsulin; proinsulin is then cleaved to release the C peptide, leaving the A and B chains of mature insulin linked by disulfide bridges. 4
GO:0034959 endothelin maturation The process leading to the attainment of the full functional capacity of endothelin by conversion of Big-endothelin substrate into mature endothelin. 4
GO:0006627 protein processing involved in protein targeting to mitochondrion The cleavage of peptide bonds in proteins, usually near the N terminus, contributing to the process of import into the mitochondrion. Several different peptidases mediate cleavage of proteins destined for different mitochondrial compartments. 3
GO:0035551 protein initiator methionine removal involved in protein maturation Removal of the initiating methionine or formylmethionine residue from a protein that contributes to protein maturation, the attainment of the full functional capacity of a protein. 3
GO:0022417 protein maturation by protein folding The process of assisting in the covalent and noncovalent assembly of single chain polypeptides or multisubunit complexes into the correct tertiary structure that results in the attainment of the full functional capacity of a protein. 3
GO:0097428 protein maturation by iron-sulfur cluster transfer The transfer of an assembled iron-sulfur cluster from a scaffold protein to an acceptor protein that contributes to the attainment of the full functional capacity of a protein. 2
GO:0034231 islet amyloid polypeptide processing The formation of mature islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) by posttranslational processing of pro-islet amyloid polypeptide (pro-IAPP). 2
GO:0090473 lys-arg specific dibasic protein processing Any protein processing achieved by the cleavage of a peptide bond after a lysine-arginine amino acid residue combination within a protein. 2
GO:0090474 arg-arg specific dibasic protein processing Any protein processing achieved by the cleavage of a peptide bond after two consecutive arginine amino acid residues within a protein. 2
GO:0071432 peptide mating pheromone maturation involved in conjugation with cellular fusion The formation of a mature peptide mating pheromone by proteolysis and/or modification of a peptide precursor, occurring in the context of conjugation with cellular fusion. 2
GO:0035103 sterol regulatory element binding protein cleavage The proteolytic release of a transcriptionally active sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP) from intracellular membranes, freeing it to move to the nucleus to upregulate transcription of target genes, in response to altered levels of one or more lipids. 2
GO:0016539 intein-mediated protein splicing The removal of an internal amino acid sequence (an intein) from a protein during protein maturation; the excision of inteins is precise and the N- and C-terminal exteins are joined by a normal peptide bond. Protein splicing involves 4 nucleophilic displacements by the 3 conserved splice junction residues. 2
GO:0071586 CAAX-box protein processing The second process in a series of specific posttranslational modifications to the CAAX box region of CAAX box proteins, in which the last three amino acids of the protein (AAX) are removed by proteolysis. 2
GO:0080120 CAAX-box protein maturation A series of specific posttranslational modifications to the CAAX box region of CAAX box proteins. CAAX box proteins are eukaryotic proteins that contain a CAAX motif where the C is a cysteine, the two A residues are aliphatic amino acids and the X can be one of several amino acids. The CAAX-box proteins undergo three sequential, enzymatic, post-translational modifications essential to their targeting: First, the proteins are prenylated by one of two prenyltransferases called farnesyltransferase and geranylgeranyltransferase-I. Prenylation results in the covalent attachment of either farnesyl or geranylgeranyl isoprenoid groups to the cysteine in the CAAX box motif. Prenylation is followed by proteolytic removal of the last three amino acids of the protein (AAX). Finally, the newly exposed carboxylate group of the isoprenylcysteine is methylated by an ER-associated prenyl-dependent carboxylmethyltransferase. 1
GO:0006624 vacuolar protein processing Protein processing that takes place in the vacuole. Most protein processing in the vacuole represents proteolytic cleavage of precursors to form active enzymes. 1
