CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF PROPHYTEPSIN, A ZYMOGEN OF A BARLEY VACUOLAR ASPARTIC PROTEINASE.
OverviewOverview
We determined at 2.3 A resolution the crystal structure of prophytepsin, a, zymogen of a barley vacuolar aspartic proteinase. In addition to the, classical pepsin-like bilobal main body of phytepsin, we also traced most, of the propeptide, as well as an independent plant-specific domain, never, before described in structural terms. The structure revealed that, in, addition to the propeptide, 13 N-terminal residues of the mature phytepsin, are essential for inactivation of the enzyme. Comparison of the, plant-specific domain with NK-lysin indicates that these two saposin-like, structures are closely related, suggesting that all saposins and, saposin-like domains share a common topology. Structural analysis of, prophytepsin led to the identification of a putative membrane, receptor-binding site involved in Golgi-mediated transport to vacuoles.
