Papain's catalytic mechanism is like serine proteases. Its catalytic triad of residues Cys 25- His159- Arg-175 appear to work with a fourth residue, Gln-19, suspected to be involved in oxyanion hole formation. When a peptide binds to the active site, His-159 deprotonates Cys-25 which in turn attacks the substrate carbonyl carbon. The oxyanion hole then stabilizes the resulting covalent, tetrahedral intermediate. Subsequently, nitrogen in the peptide bond is protonated by His-159 (acting as an acid). This action frees the C-terminal portion of the peptide so that it is released. The entrance of water into the active site then attacks the carbonyl carbon while it is deprotonated by His-159, resulting in another tetrahedral covalent intermediate once again stabilized through the oxyanion hole. At the end, carbonyl reformation and the Cys-25 sulfur action as the leaving group releases the N-terminal portion of the peptide. The enzyme is regenerated for the cycle to begin again. <ref name="Maine" />

Catalytic Mechanism

General mechanism of papain catalysis.
General mechanism of papain catalysis[12].


Papain's catalytic mechanism is like serine proteases. Its catalytic triad of residues Cys 25- His159- Arg-175 appear to work with a fourth residue, Gln-19, suspected to be involved in oxyanion hole formation. When a peptide binds to the active site, His-159 deprotonates Cys-25 which in turn attacks the substrate carbonyl carbon. The oxyanion hole then stabilizes the resulting covalent, tetrahedral intermediate. Subsequently, nitrogen in the peptide bond is protonated by His-159 (acting as an acid). This action frees the C-terminal portion of the peptide so that it is released. The entrance of water into the active site then attacks the carbonyl carbon while it is deprotonated by His-159, resulting in another tetrahedral covalent intermediate once again stabilized through the oxyanion hole. At the end, carbonyl reformation and the Cys-25 sulfur action as the leaving group releases the N-terminal portion of the peptide. The enzyme is regenerated for the cycle to begin again. [12]



Fun Trivia

Remember the 2002 SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) epidemic that placed global health, particularly in Southeast Asia, in a precarious state? On-going research is happening to further understand the mechanisms of this coronavirus, so that future steps can be taken for prevention. Its been found that the replication of RNA for this virus is mediated by two viral proteases that have many papain-like characteristics! [13]
