Mutations of the PC2 substrate binding pocket alter enzyme specificity.

Abstract excerpt

By taking advantage of the recently published furin structure, whose catalytic domain shares high homology with other proprotein convertases, we designed mutations in the catalytic domain of PC2, altering residues Ser206, Thr271, Asp278, ArgGlu282, AlaSer323, Leu341, Asn365, and Ser380, which are both conserved and specific to this convertase, and substituting residues specific to PC1 and/or furin. In order to...
