Comments
This enzyme belongs to the peptidase family-S1.
This protein is composed of a non-catalytic heavy chain, which is a multidomain bound to membrane, and a catalytic light chain. These two chains are linked by a disulfide bond (see [3]). The tertiary strucutre of the catalytic chain has been determined so far. (The chain A in 1ekb is a C-terminal fragment of heavy chain.) However, the homologous domains have been elucidated. Moreover, this enzyme is a member of type II transmembrane serine protease family (see M00348, M00349 in EzCatDB).
According to the literature [10], this enzyme has got the catalytic triad, which is a signature of serine proteases; His57, Asp102 and Ser195. Moreover, the Ser195 is bound to the C-terminal of Lys residue, to form a tetrahedral hemiketal intermediate, which showed that Ser195 could function as nucleophile.
