| beta-alanyl-arginine hydrolase | <enzyme> Also hydrolyzes carnosine, at a lower rate; requires mn2+; inhibited by bestatin; stabilised by sulfhydryl reagents Registry number: EC 3.4.13.- Synonym: ala-arg hydrolase (26 Jun 1999) |
| calcium-calmodulin-activated histone 3 arginine kinase | <enzyme> From nuclear extracts of dividing and quiescent rat heart endothelial cells; represents a new class of ca-cam-dependent kinases which phosphorylate arg Registry number: EC 2.7.10.- Synonym: ca(2+)-calmodulin-activated histone 3 arg kinase, ca-cam h3 kinase (26 Jun 1999) |
| complement 5a, des-arginine | Complement 5a with the carboxy-terminal arginine removed. The arginine is rapidly cleaved from the c5a fragment during complement activation by carboxypeptidase b present in normal human serum. C5a des-arg shows complete loss of spasmogenic activity though it retains some chemotactic ability. (12 Dec 1998) |
| protein-arginine n-methyltransferase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the methylation of arginine residues of proteins to yield n-mono- and n,n-dimethylarginine. This enzyme is found in many organs, primarily brain and spleen. Chemical name: S-Adenosyl-L-methionine:protein-L-arginine N-methyltransferase Registry number: EC 2.1.1.23 (12 Dec 1998) |
| NAD(p)-arginine ADP-ribosyltransferase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the transfer of the ADP-ribose moiety from NAD to specific protein substrates with agmatine, arginine-type compounds, or guanidine as acceptors. This reaction can be catalyzed by prokaryotic and eukaryotic enzyme systems. Mono-ADP-ribosylation is a mechanism of action common to several bacterial toxins. It effects profound changes in cellular metabolism, such as activation of adenylate cyclase, regulation of protein synthesis at the level of elongation factor 2, and ion transport across biological membranes. Chemical name: NAD(+)-L-arginine ADP-D-ribosyltransferase Registry number: EC 2.4.2.31 (12 Dec 1998) |
| N-arginine dibasic convertase | <enzyme> Catalyses cleavage at the n-terminus of arginine residues in dibasic stretches of proteins; located in brain cortex; genbank l27124 Registry number: EC 3.4.24.- Synonym: nrd convertase, n-arg dibasic convertase (26 Jun 1999) |
| adenovirus endopeptidase | <enzyme> Has been sequenced; high homology for enzymes from human, bovine, canine, murine and avian adenoviruses; see also record for avian adenovirus type 1 proteinase Registry number: EC 3.4.22.- Synonym: ad2 proteinase, can1 proteinase, mav1 proteinase, adenovirus proteinase ad2 (26 Jun 1999) |
| alanine endopeptidase | <enzyme> From enterocyte brush border; cleaves between alanyl and alanyl-, leucyl-, or norleucyl- residues of synthetic peptides similar to metallic endopeptidases Registry number: EC 3.4.24.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| glutamyl endopeptidase | <enzyme> Cleaves at the carboxyl side of glutamate and aspartate residues in proteins; see also glutamyl endopeptidase II from strep. Griseus (EC 3.4.21.82) Registry number: EC 3.4.21.19 Synonym: staphylococcus v-8 protease, v-8 protease, protease v8, staph aureus sv8 protease, staphylococcal serine protease, glu-c protease, staphylococcal glu-c protease, endoproteinase glu-c, protease glu-c, glutamate-specific endopeptidase, endopeptidase glu-c (26 Jun 1999) |
| glycyl endopeptidase | <enzyme> Isoelectric pt greater than 11.1; molecular mass=24k; separable from papaya proteinase a by acid gel electrophoresis; from papaya plant carcica papaya; not inhibited by chicken cystatin Registry number: EC 3.4.22.25 Synonym: papaya peptidase b, papaya proteinase b, papaya proteinase iv (26 Jun 1999) |
| PepE endopeptidase | <enzyme> Thiol-dependent endoprotease from lactobacillus helveticus; do not confuse with pepe protein, which is an aspartic proteinase from aspergillus niger; genbank u77050 Registry number: EC 3.4.- Synonym: pepe gene product, lactobacillus (26 Jun 1999) |
| peptide hormone inactivating endopeptidase | <enzyme> From xenopus laevis; cleaves at xaa-phe, xaa-leu or xaa-ile bonds where xaa = ser, phe, tyr, his or gly in peptide hormones Registry number: EC 3.4.24.- Synonym: phie, xenopus (26 Jun 1999) |
| procollagen C-endopeptidase | <enzyme> Cleaves the carboxyl-terminal propeptides from type I pr; in 1996 determined to be identical to bone morphogenetic protein 1 Registry number: EC 3.4.24.19 Synonym: procollagen c-protease, type I procollagen carboxyl-terminal proteinase, c-proteinase, procollagen, procollagen endopeptidase (carboxy terminal splitting), procollagen c-proteinase, bone morphogenetic protein 1, bone morphogenic protein 1, bmp-1 (26 Jun 1999) |
| procollagen n-endopeptidase | <enzyme> An extracellular endopeptidase which excises a block of peptides at the amino terminal, nonhelical region of the procollagen molecule with the formation of collagen. Absence or deficiency of the enzyme causes accumulation of procollagen which results in the inherited connective tissue disorder--dermatosparaxis. Registry number: EC 3.4.24.14 (12 Dec 1998) |
