Project description:Snake venom metalloproteinases play important roles in the pathological effects of Viperidae venoms including severe local tissue damage, hemorrhage and coagulopathy. Hemorrhagic Factor 3 (HF3), a metalloproteinase isolated from Bothrops jararaca venom, induces severe local hemorrhage. Previous proteomic studies have shown that HF3 targets important ECM components, including collagens and proteoglycans, and plasma proteins. However, the full substrate repertoire of this metalloproteinase is unknown. Using Proteomic Identification of Cleavage Sites (PICS), a tryptic library derived from THP-1 monocytic cells was used as substrate for identifying protease cleavage sites and sequence preferences in peptides. 1,252 cleavage sites were detected and revealed a clear preference for Leu at P1′ position. A Terminal Amine Isotopic Labeling of Substrates (TAILS) analysis of the incubation of HF3 with mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF) secretome resulted in the identification of more than 3,600 cleavage sites in proteins, and confirmed the predominance of Leu at P1′ position. Various substrates were detected including ECM and focal adhesion proteins, and the cysteine proteinase inhibitor, cystatin-C. Interestingly, 597 peptides matched to annotated cleavage sites in the TopFIND database, suggesting that these cleavages might have been generated by other proteases activated upon incubation with HF3, including caspases -3 and -7, cathepsins D and E, granzyme B, and MMPs 2 and 9. Taken together, these results greatly expand the known substrate degradome of HF3, and reveals potential new targets which may serve as basis to better elucidate the complex pathophysiology of snake envenomation.

Project description:Serine proteinases have been shown to play the role of toxins in the venoms of many snakes. They act mainly on components of the coagulation cascade, and fibrinolytic and kallikrein-kinin systems to trigger various pathological effects observed in the envenomation. Despite showing high similarity in terms of primary structure snake venom serine proteinases (SVSPs) show exquisite specificity towards macromolecular substrates. Therefore, the characterization of their peptide bond specificity is important for understanding the active site preference associated with effective proteolysis as well as for the design of peptide substrates and inhibitors. Bothrops jararaca contains various SVSPs among which Bothrops protease A (BPA) is a specific fibrinogenolytic agent and PA-BJ is a platelet-activating enzyme. In this study we used proteome derived peptide libraries in the Proteomic Identification of protease Cleavage Sites (PICS) approach to explore the peptide bond specificity of BPA and PA-BJ in order to determine their individual peptide cleavage sequences. A total of 371 cleavage sites (208 for BPA and 163 for PA-BJ) were detected and both proteinases displayed a clear preference for arginine at the P1 position. Moreover, the analysis of the specificity profiles of BPA and PA-BJ revealed subtle differences in the preferences along P6-P6’, despite a common preference for Pro at P2. Taken together, these results illustrate the subsite specificity of both SVSPs and shed light in the functional differences between these proteinases.

Project description:Several mechanisms of cancer progression, from tumour onset to metastasis, critically involve proteolytic activity. Studying the role of proteases in cancer, it is important to consider single nucleotide variants (SNVs) affecting the active site of proteases, that might impact cleavage specificity, substrate processing and thus cancer cell behaviour. To facilitate systematic studies, we here present a targeted approach to determine the impact of cancer-associated protease variants (TACAP). Starting with the semi-automated identification of potential specificity-modulating SNVs, our workflow comprises mass spectrometry-based cleavage specificity profiling and substrate identification, localisation and inhibitor studies, followed by functional analyses investigating cancer cell migration. We demonstrate the feasibility of TACAP by analysing the meprin β R238Q variant. The amino acid exchange R238Q leads to a loss of meprin β’s characteristic cleavage preference for acidic amino acids at the P1’ position, accompanied with changes in substrate pool and inhibitor affinity compared to meprin β wildtype.

Project description:About 2% of the genome of human and other organisms codes for proteases. An important step toward deciphering the biological function of a protease and designing inhibitors is the profiling of protease specificity. In this work we present a novel, label-free, proteomics-based protease specificity profiling method that only requires simple sample preparation steps. It uses proteome-derived peptide libraries and enriches the cleaved sequences using strong cation exchange chromatography (SCX) material in a pipette tip. As a demonstration of the method’s versatility, we successfully determined the specificity of GluC, caspase-3, chymotrypsin and cathepsin G from several hundreds to almost 2000 cleavage events per proteases. Interestingly, we also found and confirmed a novel intrinsic preference of cathepsin G for Asn at the P1 subsite, explaining the reported cleavage position on the P. aeruginosa aeruginosa flagellin by human cathepsin G . Overall, this method is straightforward and requires so far the lowest investment in material and equipment for protease specificity profiling. Therefore, we think it will be applicable in any biochemistry laboratory and promote an increased understanding of protease specificity.

Project description:Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are important players in skin homeostasis, wound repair, and in the pathogenesis of skin cancer. One member – MMP10 – is specifically expressed in wound keratinocytes and in epithelial cancer cells, but its function is unclear and epidermal substrates are poorly characterized. To unravel the role of MMP10 in the skin, we employed Terminal Amine Isotopic Labeling of Substrates (TAILS), an iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomics technique for the discovery of protease substrates and their cleavage sites, to monitor MMP10-dependent proteolysis over time in secretomes from keratinocytes. By time-resolved abundance clustering of neo-N termini we revealed a cleavage site specificity preference of MMP10 for glutamate in the P1 position and identified the α6 integrin subunit, cysteine-rich angiogenic inducer 61 and dermokine as novel MMP10 substrates. Moreover, we confirmed the same MMP10-dependent processing of dermokine in vivo by TAILS analysis of epidermis from transgenic mice that overexpress a constitutively active mutant of MMP10 in basal keratinocytes. Since these substrates have been associated with cell adhesion, differentiation and senescence, MMP10 might contribute to modulation of these processes during skin repair.

Project description:We determined the specificity profile of recombinant ASPR1 (Atypical Aspartic Protease in Roots 1) using proteome-derived libraries. Although rASPR1 preferred hydrophobic amino acids in the S1 subsite, which is in line with what was previously described for other APs, rASPR1 also displayed a clear preference for accommodating asparagine and lysine in S1, a characteristic only reported so far for fungal APs. Both primary and secondary specificity preferences of rASPR1 thus revealed unique specificity requirements similar to fungal APs that are unprecedented for plant APs.

Project description:Despite the importance of grains and legumes in the human diet, little is known regarding peptide release and the temporal changes of protease activities during seed germination. LC/MS-MS peptidomic analysis of two cultivars of germinating chickpea followed by computational analyses indicated cleavage dominated by proteases with a single position preference (mainly before (P1) or after cleavage (P1’): L at P2 (cysEP-like); R or K at P1 (vignain-like), N or Q at P1 (legumain-like); and previously unidentified K, R, A and S at P1’; A at P2’). While P1 N cleavages were relatively constant, P1’ K/R preferences were high in soaked garbanzo (kabuli) seeds, declined by four days, and returned at six days, but were much rarer in the brown (desi) cultivar. Late Embryogenesis Associated (LEA) peptides weremarkedly released during early germination. Vicilin peptides rich in glutamic acid near their N-termini markedly increased with germination, consistent with strong proteolytic resistance, even to human digestion, as indicated by analyses of separate datasets. Thus, this first peptidomics study of seed germination proteolytic profiles unveils a complex cultivar-specific programme of sequential activation and inactivation of a series of proteases, associated with the differential release of peptides from different protein groups.

Project description:Calpains are intracellular Ca2+-regulated cysteine proteases that are essential for various cellular functions. Mammalian conventional calpains (calpain-1 and calpain-2) modulate the structure and function of their substrates by limited proteolysis; however, their substrate specificity remains unclear because the amino acid (aa) sequences around their cleavage sites are very diverse. To clarify calpains’ substrate specificities, 84 20-mer oligopeptides, corresponding to P10-P10’ of reported cleavage site sequences, were proteolyzed by calpains, and the catalytic efficiencies (kcat/Km) were globally determined by LC/MS. This analysis revealed 483 cleavage site sequences, including 360 novel ones. The kcat/Kms for 119 sites ranged from 12.5~1,710 M-1s-1. Most sites were cleaved by both calpain-1 and -2 with a similar kcat/Km. The aa compositions of the novel sites were not significantly different from the 420 previously reported sites, suggesting calpains have a strict implicit rule for sequence specificity, and that the limited proteolysis of intact substrates is due to the substrates’ higher-order structures. Cleavage position frequencies indicated that longer sequences N-terminal to the cleavage site (P-sites) than C-terminal (P’-sites) were preferred for proteolysis. Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analyses using partial least-squares regression and >1,300 aa descriptors achieved kcat/Km prediction with r=0.834, and binary-QSAR modeling attained 64.8% prediction accuracy for 132 reported calpain cleavage sites independent of our model construction. These results outperformed previous calpain cleavage predictors, and revealed the importance of the P2, P3’, P4’, and P1-P2 contexts. This study increases our understanding of calpain substrate specificities, and opens calpains to “next-generation,” i.e., activity-related quantitative and context-dependent analyses.

Project description:The replication of many RNA viruses involves the translation of polyproteins, whose processing by endopeptidases is a critical step for the release of functional subunits. P1 is the first protease encoded in plant potyvirus genomes; once activated by an as-yet-unknown host factor, it acts in cis on its own C-terminal end, hydrolyzing the P1-HCPro junction. Earlier research suggests that P1 cooperates with HCPro to inhibit host RNA silencing defenses. Using Plum pox virus as a model, we show that although P1 does not have a major direct role in RNA silencing suppression, it can indeed modulate HCPro function by its self-cleavage activity. To study P1 protease regulation, we used bioinformatic analysis and in vitro activity experiments to map the core C-terminal catalytic domain. We present evidence that the hypervariable region that precedes the protease domain is predicted as intrinsically disordered, and that it behaves as a negative regulator of P1 proteolytic activity in in vitro cleavage assays. In viral infections, removal of the P1 protease antagonistic regulator is associated with greater symptom severity, induction of salicylate-dependent pathogenesis-related proteins, and reduced viral loads. We suggest that fine modulation of a viral protease activity has evolved to keep viral amplification below host-detrimental levels, and thus to maintain higher long-term replicative capacity.

Project description:Human KLK8/neuropsin, a kallikrein-related serine peptidase, is mostly expressed in skin and hippocampus, where it regulates memory formation by synaptic remodeling. Recombinantly expressed KLK8 revealed a good accordance two substrate profiling methods: positional scanning with fluorogenic tetrapeptides and a novel version of the proteomic PICS approach. Besides a strong preference for Arg in the P1 position, the enzyme favors Thr in P4, basic P3 residues, aliphatic P2, small P1′ and aliphatic P2′ residues. Enzyme kinetic studies with synthesized substrates showed stimulatory and inhibitory effects of Ca2+ and Zn2+, respectively, which are important for physiological functions. Two crystal structures of KLK8 with the active site inhibitor leupeptin explain the subsite specificity and display Ca2+ bound to the 75-loop, which is unique among the KLKs. The mutants D70K and H99A confirmed the antagonistic role of the cation binding sites, for which a comparison with the murine apo-KLK8 structure clarified further mechanistic details. Molecular docking and dynamics calculations provided insights in substrate binding and the dual regulation by Ca2+ and Zn2+, involving an allosteric surface loop network.
