The substrate specificity of cruzipain 2, a cysteine protease isoform from Trypanosoma cruzi.
Papain-like cysteine proteases are important for the survival of the flagellated protozoa Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas' Disease. The lysosomal cysteine protease designated as cruzipain or cruzain, is the archetype of a multigene family of related isoforms. We investigated the substrate specificity of the cruzipain 2 isoform using internally quenched fluorogenic substrates. W...
متن کاملComputational Study on Substrate Specificity of a Novel Cysteine Protease 1 Precursor from Zea mays
Cysteine protease 1 precursor from Zea mays (zmCP1) is classified as a member of the C1A family of peptidases (papain-like cysteine protease) in MEROPS (the Peptidase Database). The 3D structure and substrate specificity of the zmCP1 is still unknown. This study is the first one to build the 3D structure of zmCP1 by computer-assisted homology modeling. In order to determine the substrate specif...
متن کاملSelective modulation of superantigen-induced responses by streptococcal cysteine protease.
Streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxin (Spe) B, a streptococcal cysteine protease, is believed to be important in group A streptococcal (GAS) pathogenesis. The present study examined the effect of SpeB on the activity of superantigenic exotoxins secreted by M1T1 GAS isolates. The proliferative response of human lymphocytes to culture supernatant (SUP) from an SpeB(+) isolate increased significantly (...
متن کاملA cysteine protease from young stems of asparagus: isolation, properties, and substrate specificity.
A protease was purified from the growing point of asparagus, Asparagus officinalis, using a cystatin-Sepharose column. The asparagus protease is the first protease isolated from the growing point of a plant tissue and from Liliaceae. Its molecular mass was estimated to be 28 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The optimum pH of the enzyme was 7 at 30 degrees C using casein as a substrate. The enzyme was strongly ...
متن کاملSubstrate specificity of Tulane virus protease.
Tulane virus (TV) is a cultivable calicivirus isolated from rhesus monkeys. In this study, we characterized the substrate specificity of TV protease in trans using recombinant proteases and TV polyprotein fragments containing the predicted proteolytic cleavage sites. Cleavage products have been obtained from 4 of the 5 fragments containing (573)Q-S(574) between the helicase and 3A-like protein,...
