PYRROLIDONE CARBOXYL PEPTIDASE FROM THERMOCOCCUS LITORALIS
Overview
BACKGROUND: Pyrrolidone carboxyl peptidases (pcps) are a group of, exopeptidases responsible for the hydrolysis of N-terminal pyroglutamate, residues from peptides and proteins. The bacterial and archaeal pcps are, members of a conserved family of cysteine proteases. The pcp from the, hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus litoralis is more thermostable, than the bacterial enzymes with which it has up to 40% sequence identity., The pcp activity in archaea and eubacteria is proposed to be involved in, detoxification processes and in nutrient metabolism; eukaryotic, counterparts of the enzyme are involved in the processing of biologically, active peptides. RESULTS: The crystal structure of pcp has been determined, by multiple isomorphous replacement techniques at 1.73 A resolution and, ... [(full description)]
