Enzyme Information

3.4.24.36
Leishmanolysin.
based on mapping to UniProt P08148
Preference for hydrophobic residues at P1 and P1' and basic residues at P2' and P3'. A model nonapeptide is cleaved at -Ala-Tyr-|-Leu-Lys-Lys-.
-!- A membrane-bound glycoprotein found on the promastigote of various species of Leishmania protozoans. -!- Contains consensus sequence for a zinc binding site; Z-Tyr-Leu-NHOH is a strong inhibitor. -!- The enzyme can activate its proenzyme by cleavage of the 100- Val-|-Val-101 bond. -!- An acidic pH optimum is found with certain protein substrates. -!- Belongs to peptidase family M8.
