. "This family is comprised of a group of predicted cysteineproteases, homologous to the Ovarian Tumour (OTU) gene in Drosophila. Members include proteins from eukaryotes, viruses and pathogenic bacterium. The conserved cysteine and histidine, and possibly the aspartate, represent the catalytic residues in this putative group of proteases. " . "OTU" . "OTU-like cysteine protease" .
