Ten analogs of the peptide A-Phe(NO2)-Phe-Val-Leu-B were synthesized and tested as substrates for cathepsin D and pepsin. The best substrate found for cathepsin D, Phe-Ala-Ala-Phe(NO2)-Phe-Val-Leu-OM4P (kcat = 2.9 s-1; Km = 7.1 microM), has the largest kcat/Km value (408 mM-1 s-1) reported to date for this enzyme. The effect of peptide structure on solubility and kinetic parameters is discussed. The peptide provides a useful new substrate for continuous assay of cathepsin D.
合成了肽A-Phe(NO2)-Phe-Val-Leu-B的十种类似物,并将其作为组织蛋白酶D和胃蛋白酶的底物进行测试。发现组织蛋白酶D的最佳底物Phe-Ala-Ala-Phe(NO2)-Phe-Val-Leu-OM4P(kcat = 2.9 s-1;Km = 7.1 microM),其kcat/Km值(408 mM-1 s-1)是迄今为止报道的该酶的最大值。讨论了肽结构对溶解度和动力学参数的影响。该肽为组织蛋白酶D的连续测定提供了一种有用的新底物。
