CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF DIMERIC HUMAN CYSTATIN F
Overview
Cystatins are important natural cysteine protease inhibitors targeting, primarily papain-like cysteine proteases, including cathepsins and, parasitic proteases like cruzipain, but also mammalian asparaginyl, endopeptidase. Mammalian cystatin F, which is expressed almost exclusively, in hematopoietic cells and accumulates in lysosome-like organelles, has, been implicated in the regulation of antigen presentation and other immune, processes. It is an unusual cystatin superfamily member with a, redox-regulated activation mechanism and a restricted specificity profile., We describe the 2.1A crystal structure of human cystatin F in its dimeric, "off" state. The two monomers interact in a fashion not seen before for, cystatins or cystatin-like proteins that is crucially dependent on an, unusual ... [(full description)]
