An Internally Quenched Fluorescent Peptide Substrate for Protealysin

Abstract: Protealysin, a metalloprotease of Serratia proteamaculans, is the prototype of a subgroup of the M4 peptidase family. Protealysin-like proteases (PLPs) are widely spread in bacteria but also occur in fungi and certain archaea. The interest in PLPs is primarily due to their putative involvement in the bacterial pathogenesis in animals and plants. Studying PLPs requires an efficient quantitative assay for their activity; however, no such assay has been reported so far. Here, we used the autoprocessing site seque… Show more

“…Thanks to the fluorescent easy understandable and highly specific mechanism, fluorogenic peptide substrates are used to perform fluorometric measurements in various valuable applications, such as studies of binding interactions, and determinations of enzymes’ catalytic activity 15 17 . The latter is the most common use, and many examples can be found in the literature, such as determination of catalytic activity of lysostaphin 18 , endopeptidases such as thermolysin, asparaginyl, or protealysin 19 21 , and endopeptidase matrix metalloproteases (MMPS) as MMP-2 22 , 23 .…”

“…In particular, we can envision that these ideas could be applied to substrate specificity studies of protease and peptidase enzymes. Intramolecular quenching has long been utilized to analyze peptide substrates, and the development of fluorescence-based assay systems is still being investigated. ,, …”

“…Intramolecular quenching has long been utilized to analyze peptide substrates, and the development of fluorescence-based assay systems is still being investigated. 23,33,34 Removed from the principles of intramolecular quenching, existing competitive fluorescence polarization probes could also be fertile ground for "switch on" inhibitors to be used with this transit kinetics approach. Emitting depolarized light when tumbling in solution and polarized light when bound to a larger molecular weight protein, fluorescence polarization probes fit the "switch on" definition required for the transit assay because the signal they emit depends on their binding state.…”
