Abstract excerpt
Proteolytic processing is an important post-translational modification affecting protein activity and stability. In the current study, we investigate the N-terminal cleavage of Trop2, a protein which is overexpressed in many cancers. We demonstrate that Trop2 is cleaved at Arg87 by a transmembrane serine protease, matriptase. Homology modeling and site-directed mutagenesis of amino acids in close proximity to the...
