Peptide substrate specificities and protein cleavage sites of human endometase/matrilysin-2/matrix metalloproteinase-26.
Human endometase/matrilysin-2/matrix metalloproteinase-26 (MMP-26) is a novel epithelial and cancer-specific metalloproteinase. Peptide libraries were used to profile the substrate specificity of MMP-26 from the P4-P4' sites. The optimal cleavage motifs for MMP-26 were Lys-Pro-Ile/Leu-Ser(P1)-Leu/Met(P1')-Ile/Thr-Ser/Ala-Ser. The strongest preference was observed at the P1' and P2 sites where h...
متن کاملSPEPlip: the detection of signal peptide and lipoprotein cleavage sites
SUMMARY SPEPlip is a neural network-based method, trained and tested on a set of experimentally derived signal peptides from eukaryotes and prokaryotes. SPEPlip identifies the presence of sorting signals and predicts their cleavage sites. The accuracy in cross-validation is similar to that of other available programs: the rate of false positives is 4 and 6%, for prokaryotes and eukaryotes respe...
متن کاملSubstrate specificities of bacterial and human AlkB proteins.
Methylating agents introduce cytotoxic 1-methyladenine (1-meA) and 3-methylcytosine (3-meC) residues into nucleic acids, and it was recently demonstrated that the Escherichia coli AlkB protein and two human homologues, hABH2 and hABH3, can remove these lesions from DNA by oxidative demethylation. Moreover, AlkB and hABH3 were also found to remove 1-meA and 3-meC from RNA, suggesting that cellul...
متن کاملCascleave: towards more accurate prediction of caspase substrate cleavage sites
MOTIVATION The caspase family of cysteine proteases play essential roles in key biological processes such as programmed cell death, differentiation, proliferation, necrosis and inflammation. The complete repertoire of caspase substrates remains to be fully characterized. Accordingly, systematic computational screening studies of caspase substrate cleavage sites may provide insight into the subs...
متن کاملCleavage of human inhibitor of apoptosis protein XIAP results in fragments with distinct specificities for caspases.
Several human inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) family proteins function by directly inhibiting specific caspases in a mechanism that does not require IAP cleavage. In this study, however, we demonstrate that endogenous XIAP is cleaved into two fragments during apoptosis induced by the tumor necrosis factor family member Fas (CD95). The two fragments produced comprise the baculoviral inhibitory repe...
