GAL6 (YEAST BLEOMYCIN HYDROLASE) MUTANT C73A
Overview
The Gal6 protease is in a class of cysteine peptidases identified by their, ability to inactivate the anti-cancer drug bleomycin. The protein forms a, barrel structure with the active sites embedded in a channel as in the, proteasome. In Gal6 the C termini lie in the active site clefts. We show, that Gal6 acts as a carboxypeptidase on its C terminus to convert itself, to an aminopeptidase and peptide ligase. The substrate specificity of the, peptidase activity is determined by the position of the C terminus of Gal6, rather than the sequence of the substrate. We propose a model to explain, these diverse activities and Gal6's singular ability to inactivate, bleomycin.
