Comments
This enzyme belongs to the peptidase family-S1.
Despite the catalytic triad, composed of Ser/His/Asp, its conformation is disrupted, showing lower activity (in terms of kcat), compared to that of trypsin (D00197 in EzCatDB), according to the literature [9]. This disruption of the active-site structure seems to be due to the residues, Ser94/Thr214/Ser215. The triple mutant of S94Y/T214S/S215W gives a similar conformation of the catalytic triad to that of trypsin (see [9]). This literature suggested that substrate-induced (C3b-induced) conformational changes, which can lead to the rearrangement of the catalytic-triad residues, might be necessary for the enzyme activation (see [9], [12] & [13]).
Moreover, this enzyme activates factor B in the alternative pathway of complement system, generating C3-convertase that is complexed with C3b molecule (M00317 in EzCatDB).
