Activation and substrate specificity of the human P4-ATPase ATP8B1
Nature Communications, 2023 Asymmetric distribution of phospholipids in eukaryotic membranes is essential for cell integrity, signaling pathways, and vesicular trafficking. P4-ATPases, also known as flippases, participate in creating and maintaining this asymmetry through active ...

Substrate specificity of prostate-specific antigen (PSA)
Chemistry & Biology, 1998 The serine protease prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a useful clinical marker for prostatic malignancy. PSA is a member of the kallikrein subgroup of the (chymo)trypsin serine protease family, but differs from the prototypical member of this subgroup, tissue kallikrein, in possessing a specificity more similar to that of chymotrypsin than trypsin. We

Substrate specificity of ceramide trihexosidase
FEBS Letters, 1972 Artificial substrates such as 4-methylumbelliferyl glycosides and p-nitrophenyl glycosides have been employed commonly to determine the levels of glycosyl hydrolase activities in plasma, urine and tissues [l-7]. They have provided a simple and rapid method for the diagnosis of some lysosomal storage diseases, whereas in other instances inconsistencies ...

Combining structure and sequence information allows automated prediction of substrate specificities within enzyme families. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2010 An important aspect of the functional annotation of enzymes is not only the type of reaction catalysed by an enzyme, but also the substrate specificity, which can vary widely within the same family. In many cases, prediction of family membership and even

eLife, 2018 The specificity of tyrosine kinases is attributed predominantly to localization effects dictated by non-catalytic domains. We developed a method to profile the specificities of tyrosine kinases by combining bacterial surface-display of peptide libraries ...

Investigation on substrate specificity and catalytic activity of serine protease neuropsin
Biophysics and Physicobiology, 2022 Neuropsin is one of serine proteases mainly found at the hippocampus and the amygdala, where it contributes to the long-term potentiation and memory acquisition by rebuilding of synaptic connections.

Probing Steroidal Substrate Specificity of Cytochrome P450 BM3 Variants
Molecules, 2016 M01A82W, M11A82W and M01A82WS72I are three cytochrome P450 BM3 (CYP102A1) variants. They can catalyze the hydroxylation of testosterone (TES) and norethisterone at different positions, thereby making them promising biocatalysts for steroid hydroxylation.
