We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

PPT-1's structure creates an external hydrophobic groove that binds the palmitate acid in between carbon 4 and 5. The acid binds in a gauche conformations creating a kink in the acid chain. This bending could suggest that PPT-1 was originally designed to react with unsaturated fatty acid with cis-double bonds. The catalytic <scene name='43/436866/Triad_all_marked/1'>triad</scene> is composed of Serine 115, Aspartate 233, and Histidine 289. The Serine is "deprotonated" by the Histidine and attacks the carbonyl carbon of the palmitic acid. The negative charge is pushed onto the oxygen and is possible stabilized by a water molecule. The tetrahedral collapses and kicks the palmatic acid off of the cysteine residue<ref name="mutations" />.

==Inhibitors of PPT-1==

'''<scene name='43/436866/Overall-3-rainbow/1'>PPT-1</scene>''' is a lysosomal enzyme which had a serine lipase consensus sequence; a key characteristic of lysosomal enzymes. Despite having a serine lipase consensus sequence, PPT-1, is not deactivated by phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF), a common serine-modifying reagent. <scene name='58/580839/Hdsf_by_itself/1'>Hexadecylsulfonylfluoride</scene> (HDSF) is a serine-modifying reagent that is able to inhibit the actions of PPT1 <scene name='58/580839/Basic-hdsf-nosurface/4'>by binding to PPT-1</scene>. Unlike other inhibitors, <scene name='58/580839/Basic-hdsf-surfacelook/2'>HDSF is able to fit in the narrow, hydrophobic groove of PPT-1</scene> leading away from the active site of PPT-1. PMSF is unable to fit into this small narrow groove due to steric constraints that relate to the unique structure of the substrate-binding site of PPT1. The sulphur of HDSF will <scene name='58/580839/Hdsf_bound_to_Ser-115-best/1'>bind to SER-115 in the active site of PPT-1</scene> via a sulponylation reaction and thus will inhibit the actions of PPT-1.

==Disease Associated With PPT-1==
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Infantile Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (INCL) is a recessively inherited disease that is associated with a decrease in PPT-1 activity due to mutations of the PPT-1 enzyme. Onset of symptoms which include retinal blindness, ataxia, seizures, and cortical atrophy of the brain, begin 1-2 years after birth. Death typically occurs between the ages of 8-11. Several mutations in the ''1p32'' chromosome have been identified to cause INCL.

Juvenile NCL (JNCL) and Late-infantile NCL (LINCL)are less severe forms of INCL in which onset of symptoms occur much later in life, between the ages of 30-40. The mutations associated with JNCL and LINCL occur away from the active site of PPT-1 resulting in a higher activity of the PPT-1 enzyme. A common mutation associated with JNCL and LINCL involves the mutation of Thr-75.

Unfortunately not much is known on how to treat INCL. However, in both JNCL and LINCL activity of PPT-1 has only a 2% activity rate compared to normal PPT-1 activity. This suggests that a small increase in activity of PPT-1 may aid in delaying the symptoms associated with INCL. One way in which to increase the activity of PPT-1 is to use protein chaperons that help refold PPT-1 in the endoplasmic reticulm. Although this is not a cure for INCL, by increasing the activity of PPT-1 the life expectancy for individuals with INCL can be greatly increased.
