Abstract excerpt
Calpain 3, commonly called p94 in the literature, is the abundant skeletal muscle-specific calpain that is genetically linked to limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A. Recently, we showed that p94's insertion sequence 1 (IS1) is a propeptide that must be autoproteolytically cleaved to provide access of substrates and inhibitors to the enzyme's active site. Removal of IS1 from the core of p94 by recombinant...
