Prodynorphin processing by proprotein convertase 2. Cleavage at single basic residues and enhanced processing in the presence of carboxypeptidase activity.
Endoproteolytic processing of the 26-kDa protein precursor prodynorphin (proDyn) at paired and single basic residues is most likely carried out by the proprotein convertases (PCs); however, the role of PCs at single basic residues is unclear. In previous studies we showed that limited proDyn processing by PC1/PC3 at both paired and single basic residues resulted in the formation of 8- and 10-kD...
متن کاملProcessing of the Ebola virus glycoprotein by the proprotein convertase furin.
In the present study, we have investigated processing and maturation of the envelope glycoprotein (GP) of Ebola virus. When GP expressed from vaccinia virus vectors was analyzed by pulse-chase experiments, the mature form and two different precursors were identified. First, the endoplasmic reticulum form preGPer, full-length GP with oligomannosidic N-glycans, was detected. preGPer (110 kDa) was...
متن کاملSubtilisin-related Proprotein Convertase Endoproteolytic Site*
The human thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) undergoes proteolytic cleavage closely upstream to amino acid 317. Between residues 261 and 313 are three clusters of positively charged amino acids, arginines (Arg) and lysines (Lys), which are potential subtilisin-related proprotein convertase sites. We used oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis to perform conservative amino acid substitutions within these...
متن کاملPrediction of proprotein convertase cleavage sites.
Many secretory proteins and peptides are synthesized as inactive precursors that in addition to signal peptide cleavage undergo post-translational processing to become biologically active polypeptides. Precursors are usually cleaved at sites composed of single or paired basic amino acid residues by members of the subtilisin/kexin-like proprotein convertase (PC) family. In mammals, seven members...
متن کاملA systematic study of site-specific GalNAc-type O-glycosylation modulating proprotein convertase processing.
Site-specific GalNAc-type O-glycosylation is emerging as an important co-regulator of proprotein convertase (PC) processing of proteins. PC processing is crucial in regulating many fundamental biological pathways and O-glycans in or immediately adjacent to processing sites may affect recognition and function of PCs. Thus, we previously demonstrated that deficiency in site-specific O-glycosylati...
