HUMAN PROCARBOXYPEPTIDASE A2
Overview
The three-dimensional structure of human procarboxypeptidase A2 has been, determined using X-ray crystallography at 1.8 A resolution. This is the, first detailed structural report of a human pancreatic carboxypeptidase, and of its zymogen. Human procarboxypeptidase A2 is formed by a, pro-segment of 96 residues, which inhibits the enzyme, and a, carboxypeptidase moiety of 305 residues. The pro-enzyme maintains the, general fold when compared with other non-human counterparts. The globular, part of the pro-segment docks into the enzyme moiety and shields the S2-S4, substrate binding sites, promoting inhibition. Interestingly, important, differences are found in the pro-segment which allow the identification of, the structural determinants of the diverse activation behaviours of, ... [(full description)]
