FunFam 46285: Protease serine 2 preproprotein

There are 12 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

  • The few that have been isolated and tested on substrates include mouse EC 3.4.21.54, submandibular proteinase a, epidermal growth- factor-binding protein, nerve growth factor gamma-subunit, rat tonin, submaxillary proteinases A and B, T-kininogenase, kallikreins K7 and K8.
  • The rat enzyme is unusual in liberating bradykinin directly from autologous kininogens by cleavage at two Arg-|-Xaa bonds.

Venombin A. [EC: 3.4.21.74]
Selective cleavage of Arg-|-Xaa bond in fibrinogen, to form fibrin, and release fibrinopeptide A. The specificity of further degradation of fibrinogen varies with species origin of the enzyme.

Kallikrein 8. [EC: 3.4.21.118]
Cleavage of amide substrates following the basic amino acids Arg or Lys at the P1 position, with a preference for Arg over Lys.
  • Activated by removal of an N-terminal prepropeptide.
  • The highest amidolytic activity is observed using Boc-Val-Pro- Arg-|-7-amido-4-methylcoumarin, which is a substrate of alpha- thrombin.
  • Substrates lacking basic amino acids in the P1 position are not cleaved.
  • Degrades casein, fibronectin, gelatin, collagen type IV, fibrinogen, and high-molecular-mass kininogen and is associated with diseases such as ovarian cancer and Alzheimer's disease.
  • Belongs to peptidase family S1A.

Stratum corneum chymotryptic enzyme. [EC: 3.4.21.117]
Cleavage of proteins with aromatic side chains in the P1 position.
  • This enzyme has wide substrate specificity, being able to degrade heat-denatured bovine casein and the alpha-chain of native human fibrinogen.
  • It cleaves the B chain of bovine insulin at 6-Leu-|-Cya-7 (cysteic acid), 16-Tyr-|-Leu-17, 25-Phe-|-Tyr-26 and 26-Tyr-|-Thr-27.
  • It is thought to play a role in the desquamation (skin-shedding) of the outer layer of skin, the stratum corneum, by degrading intercellular cohesive structures.
  • Belongs to peptidase family S1A.

Snake venom factor V activator. [EC: 3.4.21.95]
Fully activates human clotting factor V by a single cleavage at the 1545- Trp-Tyr-Leu-Arg-|-Ser-Asn-Asn-Gly-1552 bond. Cattle, but not rabbit, factor V is cleaved, and no other proteins of the clotting system are attacked. Esterase activity is observed on Bz-Arg-OEt and Tos-Arg-OMe, and amidase activity on Phe-pipecolyl-Arg-NHPhNO(2).
  • Inhibited by diisopropyl fluorophosphate.
  • Belongs to peptidase family S1.

Tryptase. [EC: 3.4.21.59]
Preferential cleavage: Arg-|-Xaa, Lys-|-Xaa, but with more restricted specificity than trypsin.
  • Occurs as a tetrameric molecule with high affinity for heparin, in mast cell granules.
  • Not inhibited by alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor of alpha-2- macroglobulin.

  • Formed by activation of proelastase II from mammalian pancreas by trypsin.
  • Usually, only one of the pancreatic elastases (see also EC 3.4.21.36) is expressed in a given species; human pancreatic elastase is of type II.

Gamma-renin. [EC: 3.4.21.54]
Cleavage of the Leu-|-Leu bond in synthetic tetradecapeptide renin substrate, to produce angiotensin I, but not active on natural angiotensinogen. Also hydrolyzes Bz-Arg-p-nitroanilide.

  • A member of the tissue kallikrein family, from submandibular glands of male mice.
  • Belongs to peptidase family S1.
 2 P04071 P04071
Kallikrein 13. [EC: 3.4.21.119]
Hydrolyzes mouse Ren2 protein (a species of prorenin present in the submandibular gland) on the carboxy side of the arginine residue at the Lys-Arg-|- pair in the N-terminus, to yield mature renin.
  • Specific for prorenin from the mouse submandibular gland, as prorenin from the mouse kidney (Ren1) and human prorenin are not substrates.
  • Site-directed mutagenesis studies have shown that the enzyme will also cleave prorenin when Lys-Arg is replaced by Arg-Arg or Gln-Arg but the rate of reaction is much slower when Lys-Lys is used.
  • Also able to process pro-interleukin-1-beta (pro-IL-1-beta) in mouse submandibular gland to form IL-1-beta.
  • Belongs to peptidase family S1A.
