[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/CARP2_CANAX CARP2_CANAX] | [https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/CARP2_CANAX CARP2_CANAX] Secreted aspartic peptidases (SAPs) are a group of ten acidic hydrolases considered as key virulence factors (PubMed:11478679, PubMed:12761103, PubMed:15820985, PubMed:15845479, PubMed:19880183, PubMed:20713630, PubMed:22302440, PubMed:23927842). These enzymes supply the fungus with nutrient amino acids as well as are able to degrade the selected host's proteins involved in the immune defense (PubMed:11478679, PubMed:12761103, PubMed:15820985, PubMed:15845479, PubMed:19880183, PubMed:20713630, PubMed:22302440, PubMed:23927842). Induces host inflammatory cytokine production in a proteolytic activity-independent way (PubMed:20713630). Plays a role in tissue damage during superficial infection (PubMed:12761103). Moreover, acts toward human hemoglobin though limited proteolysis to generate a variety of antimicrobial hemocidins, enabling to compete with the other microorganisms of the same physiological niche using the microbicidal peptides generated from the host protein (PubMed:23927842).<ref>PMID:11478679</ref> <ref>PMID:12761103</ref> <ref>PMID:15820985</ref> <ref>PMID:15845479</ref> <ref>PMID:19880183</ref> <ref>PMID:20713630</ref> <ref>PMID:22302440</ref> <ref>PMID:23927842</ref> Plays a key role in defense against host by cleaving histatin-5 (Hst 5), a peptide from human saliva that carries out fungicidal activity (PubMed:27390786, PubMed:29143452, PubMed:31675138). The cleavage rate decreases in an order of SAP2 > SAP9 > SAP3 > SAP7 > SAP4 > SAP1 > SAP8 (PubMed:27390786). The first cleavage occurs between residues 'Lys-17' and 'His-18' of Hst 5, giving DSHAKRHHGYKRKFHEK and HHSHRGY peptides (PubMed:27390786). Simultaneously, the DSHAKRHHGYKRK peptide is also formed (PubMed:27390786). Further fragmentation by SAP2 results in FHEK and DSHAKRHHGY products (PubMed:27390786).<ref>PMID:27390786</ref> <ref>PMID:29143452</ref> <ref>PMID:31675138</ref> | ||
