RAT GRANZYME B [N66Q] COMPLEXED TO ECOTIN [81-84 IEPD]
|
OverviewOverview
Granzyme B is a serine protease of the chymotrypsin fold that mediates, cell death by cytotoxic lymphocytes. It is a processing enzyme, requiring, extended peptide substrates containing an Asp residue. The determinants, that allow for this substrate specificity are revealed in the, three-dimensional structure of granzyme B in complex with a macromolecular, inhibitor. The primary specificity for Asp occurs through a side-on, interaction with Arg 226, a buried Arg side chain of granzyme B. An, additional nine amino acids make contact with the substrate and define the, granzyme B extended substrate specificity profile. The substrate, determinants found in this structure are shared by other members of this, protein class and help to reveal the properties that define substrate, specificity.
