Prolylcarboxypeptidase (PrCP) is a lysosomal serine carboxypeptidase that cleaves a variety of C-terminal amino acids adjacent to proline and has been implicated in diseases such as hypertension and obesity. Here, the robust production, purification and crystallization of glycosylated human PrCP from stably transformed CHO cells is described. Purified PrCP yielded crystals belonging to space group R32, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 181.14, c = 240.13 A, that diffracted to better than 2.8 A resolution.
脯氨酰羧肽酶(PrCP)是一种溶酶体丝氨酸羧肽酶,可切割脯氨酸附近的多种C端氨基酸,并与高血压和肥胖等疾病有关。本文描述了从稳定转化的CHO细胞中大量生产、纯化和结晶糖基化人PrCP的过程。纯化后的PrCP产生了属于空间群R32的晶体,晶胞参数a = b = 181.14,c = 240.13 Å,其衍射分辨率优于2.8 Å。
