SCOPEC: a database of protein catalytic domains [PDF]
Abstract Motivation: Domains are the units of protein structure, function and evolution. It is therefore essential to utilize knowledge of domains when studying the evolution of function, or when assigning function to genome sequence data.

Architecture and function of metallopeptidase catalytic domains [PDF]
AbstractThe cleavage of peptide bonds by metallopeptidases (MPs) is essential for life. These ubiquitous enzymes participate in all major physiological processes, and so their deregulation leads to diseases ranging from cancer and metastasis, inflammation, and microbial infection to neurological insults and cardiovascular disorders.

Minimal catalytic domain of N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase V [PDF]
UDP-GlcNAc: Manalpha1-6Manbeta-R beta1-6 N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase V (EC 2.4.1.155, GlcNAc-TV) is a Golgi enzyme that substitutes the trimannosyl core in the biosynthetic pathway for complex-type N-linked glycans. GlcNAc-TV activity is regulated by oncogenes frequently activated in cancer cells ( ras, src, and her2/neu ) and by activators of T ...

The TriTryp Phosphatome: analysis of the protein phosphatase catalytic domains [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundThe genomes of the three parasitic protozoaTrypanosoma cruzi,Trypanosoma bruceiandLeishmania majorare the main subject of this study. These parasites are responsible for devastating human diseases known as Chagas disease, African sleeping sickness and cutaneous Leishmaniasis, respectively, that affect millions of people in the ...

Structural Insight of a Trimodular Halophilic Cellulase with a Family 46 Carbohydrate-Binding Module. [PDF]
Cellulases are the key enzymes used in the biofuel industry. A typical cellulase contains a catalytic domain connected to a carbohydrate-binding module (CBM) through a flexible linker.

Kinetic Analysis of the Catalytic Domain of Human Cdc25B [PDF]
The Cdc25 cell cycle regulator is a member of the dual-specificity class of protein-tyrosine phosphatases that hydrolyze phosphotyrosine- and phosphothreonine-containing substrates. To study the mechanism of Cdc25B, we have overexpressed and purified the catalytic domain of human Cdc25B (Xu, X., and Burke, S. P. (1996) J. Biol. Chem.

Structural and functional characterization of mature forms of metalloprotease E495 from Arctic sea-ice bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. SM495. [PDF]
E495 is the most abundant protease secreted by the Arctic sea-ice bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. SM495. As a thermolysin family metalloprotease, E495 was found to have multiple active forms in the culture of strain SM495.
