serine protease It is a protease family, whose function is to break macromolecule protein In Peptide bond , make it Small molecule protein. stay Mammals Serine protease plays an important role, especially in digestion, coagulation and Complement system aspect. It is activated by active center a set Amino acid residue One of them must be serine (The origin of its name).

digestive enzyme

Announce
edit
Three enzymes secreted by pancreas are serine proteases:

Chymotrypsin

Chymotrypsin , also known as Chymotrypsin Hydrolases One of Peptide chain Endonuclease , mainly promoting Hydrophobic amino acid in especial Tyrosine Tryptophan Phenylalanine and leucine Of Carboxyl terminal Peptide cleavage. From pancreas to Chymotrypsinogen It is secreted in the form of Trypsin Activated by action. Chymotrypsin A and B Molecular size Different, but the specificity is similar.

Trypsin

Trypsin It belongs to hydrolase and promotes Peptide chain Split, Action site by Arginine or Lysine carboxyl This enzyme uses Zymogen The form is released from the pancreas and transformed into the active form in the small intestine.

elastase

Serine protease
elastase (EC 3.4.21.36.): One of the hydrolases alanine glycine isoleucine leucine or valine Isochore carboxyl Its polypeptide bond plays a catalytic role in hydrolysis, because it was thought that this enzyme mainly acts on elastin It has this name. It is the pancreas Zymogen ( Elastase )It is a serine protease secreted in the form of and participates in the digestion of intestinal proteins.
Of the three enzymes Primary structure amino acid Sequence) is similar to the third-order sequence (the spatial arrangement of all atoms). Their active serine residues are all at the same position (Ser-195).

Coagulation factor

Announce
edit
Several active Coagulation factor They are all serine proteases, including:
Coagulation factor
The tenth coagulation factor (X), also known as Stuart Power factor, is involved in endogenous and extrinsic pathway It is a kind of storage resistance factor. Lack of systematization Coagulation disorder (Factor 10 deficiency).
The eleventh factor of coagulation (XI), the precursor of plasma thrombin activity enzyme, acts on intrinsic pathway A stability factor of. Lack of this factor will cause systemic hemagglutination defect, namely type C hemophilia Or Rosenthal syndrome, similar to typical hemophilia.
Thrombin from prothrombin , can promote Fibrinogen Becomes fibrin Enzyme;
Fibrinolytic enzyme Cytoplasmin ,: It is an effective part of the fibrinolytic or blood clot system, is a highly specific proteolytic enzyme for fibrin fibrin The clot has special Solubility , for others Plasma protein Coagulation factors and general proteins also have similar effects.

Complement system

Announce
edit
Complement system There are several proteins belonging to serine protease, including:
C1r and C1s
C3 Invertase cleavage complement The component C3 is the enzyme of C3a and C3b; Classic approach C3 invertase C4b, 2b; The bypass C3 invertase is C3b, Bb and C3b, Bb. See complement system for details

Principle of action

Announce
edit
By adjacent Amino acid residue Chain, serine Residue It is activated at the active center.
Activated hydroxyl and peptide bond carbon atom happen Nucleophilic reaction
After the peptide bond breaks, acyl When the carbon on the peptide bond is esterified, the nitrogen end of the peptide bond will be released free.
Hydrolysis reaction , the carbon terminal product linked to the enzyme is released. Reaction completed.
