Identification and analysis of a new family of bacterial serine proteinases
A family of hypothetical proteins, identified predominantly from archaeal genomes, has been analyzed in order to understand its functional characteristics. Using extensive sequence similarity searches it is inferred that this family is remotely related (best sequence identity is 19%) to ClpP proteinases that belongs to serine proteinase class. This family of hypothetical proteins is referred to...
متن کاملReaction of a tumour-associated trypsin inhibitor with serine proteinases associated with coagulation and tumour invasion.
The inhibition of six serine proteinases by a tumour-associated trypsin inhibitor (TATI) was studied using synthetic peptide substrates. Physiological concentrations of TATI inhibited the amidolytic activities of trypsin, plasmin, urokinase and tissue plasminogen activator (tPA). Chymotrypsin, kallikrein and thrombin were also inhibited, but by much higher concentrations of TATI. The ability of...
متن کاملPeptide glyoxals: a novel class of inhibitor for serine and cysteine proteinases.
A series of novel synthetic dipeptides, containing a C-terminal glyoxal grouping (-COCHO), have been tested as inhibitors against typical members of the serine- and cysteine-proteinase families. For example, the sequences benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz)-Pro-Phe-CHO (I) and Cbz-Phe-Ala-CHO (II), which fulfil the known primary and secondary specificity requirements of chymotrypsin and cathepsin B respect...
متن کاملHomology modelling and protein engineering strategy of subtilases, the family of subtilisin-like serine proteinases.
Subtilases are members of the family of subtilisin-like serine proteases. Presently, greater than 50 subtilases are known, greater than 40 of which with their complete amino acid sequences. We have compared these sequences and the available three-dimensional structures (subtilisin BPN', subtilisin Carlsberg, thermitase and proteinase K). The mature enzymes contain up to 1775 residues, with N-te...
متن کاملCharacterization of Serine Palmitoyltransferase Activity in Squash Fruit Microsomes
l h e activity of serine palmitoyltransferase (palmitoyl-coenzyme A [CoA]:i-serine [Ser]-C-palmitoyltransferase [decarboxylating], EC 2.3.1.50), the enzyme catalyzing the first step in the synthesis of the long-chain base required for sphingolipid assembly, has been characterized in a plant system. Enzyme activity in a microsoma1 membrane fraction from summer squash fruit (Cucurbita pepo 1. cv ...
