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.

Production of Glycopeptide Derivatives for Exploring Substrate Specificity of Human OGA Toward Sugar Moiety. [PDF]

, 2018
O-GlcNAcase (OGA) is the only enzyme responsible for removing N-acetyl glucosamine (GlcNAc) attached to serine and threonine residues on proteins. This enzyme plays a key role in O-GlcNAc metabolism.

The role of histone modifications in transcription regulation upon DNA damage

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review discusses the critical role of histone modifications in regulating gene expression during the DNA damage response (DDR). By modulating chromatin structure and recruiting repair factors, these post‐translational modifications fine‐tune transcriptional programmes to maintain genomic stability.

Engineering of Cyclodextrin Product Specificity and pH Optima of the Thermostable Cyclodextrin Glycosyltransferase from Thermoanaerobacterium thermosulfurigenes EM1 [PDF]

, 1998
The product specificity and pH optimum of the thermostable cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase) from Thermoanaerobacterium thermosulfurigenes EM1 was engineered using a combination of x-ray crystallography and site-directed mutagenesis.

Substrate specificity of Burkholderia pseudomallei multidrug transporters is influenced by the hydrophilic patch in the substrate‐binding pocket

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Multidrug transporters BpeB and BpeF from the Gram‐negative pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei have a hydrophilic patch in their substrate‐binding pocket. Drug susceptibility tests and growth curve analyses using an Escherichia coli recombinant expression system revealed that the hydrophilic patches of BpeB and BpeF are involved in the substrate ...

Hsc66 substrate specificity is directed toward a discrete region of the iron-sulfur cluster template protein IscU [PDF]

, 2002
Hsc66 and Hsc20 comprise a specialized chaperone system important for the assembly of iron-sulfur clusters in Escherchia coli. Only a single substrate, the Fe/S template protein IscU, has been identified for the Hsc66/Hsc20 system, but the mechanism by ...

Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in

Block-based characterization of protease specificity from substrate sequence profile

BMC Bioinformatics, 2017
Background The mechanism of action of proteases has been widely studied based on substrate specificity. Prior research has been focused on the amino acids at a single amino acid site, but rarely on combinations of amino acids around the cleavage bond ...

Structural basis for substrate specificity and catalysis of α1,6-fucosyltransferase

Nature Communications, 2020
Core-fucosylation of the N-glycan core is an essential biological modification and the α1,6- fucosyltransferase FUT8 is the only enzyme in humans that catalyses this modification through the addition of an α-1,6-linked fucose to N-glycans.
