Size Matters for the Tripeptidylpeptidase II Complex from Drosophila
25 Jun 2006
Abstract excerpt
Tripeptidylpeptidase II (TPP II) is an exopeptidase of the subtilisin type of serine proteases, a key component of the protein degradation cascade in many eukaryotes, which cleaves tripeptides from the N terminus of proteasome-released products. The Drosophila TPP II is a large homooligomeric complex (approximately 6 MDa) that is organized in a unique repetitive structure with two strands each composed of ten...
