Abstract excerpt
Elucidating the structure and function of enteropeptidase (EP) is essential for advancing our understanding of its biological significance, particularly in regulating trypsinogen activation. Using cryo-EM and enzymatic activity, we uncovered the significance of the CUB2 domain in mediating the cleavage of macromolecular substrates. We identified crucial binding loops and key residues for EP's proteolytic...
