PEGylated substrates of NSP4 protease: A tool to study protease specificity
Herein we present the synthesis of a novel type of peptidomimetics composed of repeating diaminopropionic acid residues modified with structurally diverse heterobifunctional polyethylene glycol chains (abbreviated as DAPEG). Based on the developed compounds, a library of fluorogenic substrates was synthesized. Further library deconvolution towards human neutrophil serine protease 4 (NSP4) yield...
متن کاملIdentification of Protease Specificity Using Biotin-Labeled Substrates
BACKGROUND Proteolysis constitutes a major post-translational modification. For example, proteases regulate the activation or inactivation of various proteins, such as enzymes, growth factors, and peptide hormones. Proteases have substrate specificity, and protease expression regulates the specific and regional activation or inactivation of several functional proteins. METHODS We demonstrate ...
متن کاملCharacterizing Protease Specificity: How Many Substrates Do We Need?
Calculation of cleavage entropies allows to quantify, map and compare protease substrate specificity by an information entropy based approach. The metric intrinsically depends on the number of experimentally determined substrates (data points). Thus a statistical analysis of its numerical stability is crucial to estimate the systematic error made by estimating specificity based on a limited num...
متن کاملA remodelled protease that cleaves phosphotyrosine substrates.
Proteases are the largest family of enzymes in the human genome and play central roles in a wide range of physiological processes.1 To carry out these diverse functions, proteolytic enzymes have evolved highly tuned substrate specificities that allow them to degrade specific cellular proteins in response to appropriate signals. For many proteases, this specificity is encoded by the amino acid s...
متن کاملSerine protease mechanism and specificity.
Almost one-third of all proteases can be classified as serine proteases, named for the nucleophilic Ser residue at the active site. This mechanistic class was originally distinguished by the presence of the AspHis-Ser “charge relay” system or “catalytic triad”.1 The Asp-His-Ser triad can be found in at least four different structural contexts, indicating that this catalytic machinery has evolve...
