Probing ADAMTS13 Substrate Specificity using Phage Display
Von Willebrand factor (VWF) is a large, multimeric protein that regulates hemostasis by tethering platelets to the subendothelial matrix at sites of vascular damage. The procoagulant activity of plasma VWF correlates with the length of VWF multimers, which is proteolytically controlled by the metalloprotease ADAMTS13. To probe ADAMTS13 substrate specificity, we created phage display libraries c...
متن کاملElastase substrate specificity tailored through substrate-assisted catalysis and phage display.
The catalytic histidine of human neutrophil elastase was replaced with alanine (H57A) to determine if a substrate histidine could substitute for the missing catalytic group-'substrate-assisted catalysis'. H57A and wild-type elastase were recovered directly from Pichia pastoris following expression from a synthetic gene lacking the elastase pro sequence, thereby obviating the need for zymogen ac...
متن کاملFactor Xa active site substrate specificity with substrate phage display and computational molecular modeling.
Structural origin of substrate-enzyme recognition remains incompletely understood. In the model enzyme system of serine protease, canonical anti-parallel beta-structure substrate-enzyme complex is the predominant hypothesis for the substrate-enzyme interaction at the atomic level. We used factor Xa (fXa), a key serine protease of the coagulation system, as a model enzyme to test the canonical c...
متن کاملPuzzling Peptides from a Phage Display Library
The commercial availability of random peptide libraries displayed on the M13 phage is increasing their use forstudies on epitope identification, enzyme inhibitors, receptor ligands, etc. In this study two experimentswhere planned for selection of peptides. First with sheep antibodies, the positive selector was IgG, preparedon Protein G column from a pool of 11 sheeps immunized...
متن کاملProbing antinuclear antibody specificities by peptide phage display libraries.
OBJECTIVE To uncover the specificities of autoantibodies to nuclear proteins (ANA) in patients with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA). METHODS Peptide ligands for ANA were selected by panning random peptide phage display libraries on antibodies binding to HEp-2 cells. Positive phage clones were identified by the immunoscreening technique. RESULTS Groups of peptides were identified, some o...
