C-terminal processing peptidase (EC 3.4.21.102, CtpA gene product (Synechocystis sp.), photosystem II D1 protein processing peptidase, protease Re, tail-specific protease, Tsp protease) is an enzyme.[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

The enzyme shows specific recognition of a C-terminal tripeptide, Xaa-Yaa-Zaa, in which Xaa is preferably Ala or Leu, Yaa is preferably Ala or Tyr, and Zaa is preferably Ala, but then cleaves at a variable distance from the C-terminus. A typical cleavage is -Ala-Ala!Arg-Ala-Ala-Lys-Glu-Asn-Tyr-Ala-Leu-Ala-Ala. In the plant chloroplast, the enzyme removes the C-terminal extension of the X1 polypeptide of photosystem II

Proteolytic processing of the X1 protein of photosystem II enables light-driven assembly of the tetranuclear manganese cluster.
