Cleavage specificities of the brother and sister proteases Lys-C and Lys-N.
Understanding of protease specificity is essential in proteomics strategies to correctly compare peptide fragmentation spectra with spectra predicted from data extracted from sequence databases. Here we evaluate the specificities of two proteolytic enzymes Lys-C and Lys-N, which cleave peptide-bonds at, respectively, the C- and N-terminal side of a lysine residue.
متن کاملSubstrate specificities of caspase family proteases.
The caspase family represents a new class of intracellular cysteine proteases with known or suspected roles in cytokine maturation and apoptosis. These enzymes display a preference for Asp in the P1 position of substrates. To clarify differences in the biological roles of the interleukin-1beta converting enzyme (ICE) family proteases, we have examined in detail the specificities beyond the P1 p...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Proteolytic Processing of ABCA3: Identification of Cleavage Site and Involved Proteases.
RATIONALE ABCA3 is a lipid transporter in the limiting membrane of lamellar bodies in alveolar type II cells. Mutations in the ABCA3 gene cause respiratory distress syndrome in new-borns and childhood interstitial lung disease. ABCA3 is N-terminally cleaved by an as yet unknown protease, a process believed to regulate ABCA3 activity. METHODS The exact site where ABCA3 is cleaved was localized...
متن کاملHemoglobin Cleavage Site-Specificity of the Plasmodium falciparum Cysteine Proteases Falcipain-2 and Falcipain-3
The Plasmodium falciparum cysteine proteases falcipain-2 and falcipain-3 degrade host hemoglobin to provide free amino acids for parasite protein synthesis. Hemoglobin hydrolysis has been described as an ordered process initiated by aspartic proteases, but cysteine protease inhibitors completely block the process, suggesting that cysteine proteases can also initiate hemoglobin hydrolysis. To ch...
متن کاملConservation of substrate specificities among coronavirus main proteases.
The key enzyme in coronavirus replicase polyprotein processing is the coronavirus main protease, 3CL(pro). The substrate specificities of five coronavirus main proteases, including the prototypic enzymes from the coronavirus groups I, II and III, were characterized. Recombinant main proteases of human coronavirus (HCoV), transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), feline infectious peritonitis ...
