The hydrolysis of a peptide bond or bonds within a protein as part of protein maturation, the process leading to the attainment of the full functional capacity of a protein. The process by which a gene's sequence is converted into a mature gene product or products (proteins or RNA). This includes the production of an RNA transcript as well as any processing to produce a mature RNA product or an mRNA (for protein-coding genes) and the translation of that mRNA into protein. Some protein processing events may be included when they are required to form an active form of a product from an inactive precursor form. Any process leading to the attainment of the full functional capacity of a protein. The post-translational removal of peptide sequences from within a protein sequence. 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. The peptide cleavage of proteins in the mitochondrion, including cleavage contributing to their import. The posttranslational modification of proteins in the vacuole, including proteolytic cleavage of precursors to form active enzymes. Any protein maturation process achieved by the cleavage of peptide bonds. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of protein processing, the posttranslational modification of a protein leading to the attainment of the full functional capacity of the protein. The posttranslational processing of viral proteins. The chemical reactions and pathways involving a specific protein, rather than of proteins in general. Includes protein modification.
