The structural basis for catalysis and substrate specificity of a rhomboid protease.
Rhomboids are intramembrane proteases that use a catalytic dyad of serine and histidine for proteolysis. They are conserved in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes and regulate cellular processes as diverse as intercellular signalling, parasitic invasion of host cells, and mitochondrial morphology. Their widespread biological significance and consequent medical potential provides a strong incentive ...
متن کاملStructural basis for the substrate specificity of tobacco etch virus protease.
Because of its stringent sequence specificity, the 3C-type protease from tobacco etch virus (TEV) is frequently used to remove affinity tags from recombinant proteins. It is unclear, however, exactly how TEV protease recognizes its substrates with such high selectivity. The crystal structures of two TEV protease mutants, inactive C151A and autolysis-resistant S219D, have now been solved at 2.2-...
متن کاملStructural basis for broad specificity in alpha-lytic protease mutants.
Binding pocket mutants of alpha-lytic protease (Met 192----Ala and Met 213----Ala) have been constructed recently in an effort to create a protease specific for Met just prior to the scissile bond. Instead, mutation resulted in proteases with extraordinarily broad specificity profiles and high activity [Bone, R., Silen, J. L., & Agard, D. A. (1989) Nature 339, 191-195]. To understand the struct...
متن کاملThe structural basis for substrate specificity in DNA topoisomerase IV.
Most bacteria possess two type IIA topoisomerases, DNA gyrase and topo IV, that together help manage chromosome integrity and topology. Gyrase primarily introduces negative supercoils into DNA, an activity mediated by the C-terminal domain of its DNA binding subunit (GyrA). Although closely related to gyrase, topo IV preferentially decatenates DNA and relaxes positive supercoils. Here we report...
متن کاملStructural Basis for Substrate Specificity in Human Monomeric Carbonyl Reductases
UNLABELLED Carbonyl reduction constitutes a phase I reaction for many xenobiotics and is carried out in mammals mainly by members of two protein families, namely aldo-keto reductases and short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases. In addition to their capacity to reduce xenobiotics, several of the enzymes act on endogenous compounds such as steroids or eicosanoids. One of the major carbonyl reducing...
