225 results about "Endopeptidase" patented technology

Endopeptidase or endoproteinase are proteolytic peptidases that break peptide bonds of nonterminal amino acids (i.e. within the molecule), in contrast to exopeptidases, which break peptide bonds from end-pieces of terminal amino acids. For this reason, endopeptidases cannot break down peptides into monomers, while exopeptidases can break down proteins into monomers. A particular case of endopeptidase is the oligopeptidase, whose substrates are oligopeptides instead of proteins.

Recombinant light chains of botulinum neurotoxins and light chain fusion proteins for use in research and clinical therapy

Botulinum neurotoxins, the most potent of all toxins, induce lethal neuromuscular paralysis by inhibiting exocytosis at the neuromuscular junction. The light chains (LC) of these dichain neurotoxins are a new class of zinc-endopeptidases that specifically cleave the synaptosomal proteins, SNAP-25, VAMP, or syntaxin at discrete sites. The present invention relates to the construction, expression, purification, and use of synthetic or recombinant botulinum neutoroxin genes. For example, a synthetic gene for the LC of the botulinum neurotoxin serotype A (BoNT / A) was constructed and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The gene product was purified from inclusion bodies. The methods of the invention can provide 1.1 g of the LC per liter of culture. The LC product was stable in solution at 4° C. for at least 6 months. This rBoNT / A LC was proteolytically active, specifically cleaving the Glu-Arg bond in a 17-residue synthetic peptide of SNAP-25, the reported cleavage site of BoNT / A. Its calculated catalytic efficiency kcat / Km was higher than that reported for the native BoNT / A dichain. Treating the rBoNT / A LC with mercuric compounds completely abolished its activity, most probably by modifying the cysteine-164 residue located in the vicinity of the active site. About 70% activity of the LC was restored by adding Zn2+ to a Zn2+-free, apo-LC preparation. The LC was nontoxic to mice and failed to elicit neutralizing epitope(s) when the animals were vaccinated with this protein. In addition, injecting rBoNT / A LC into sea urchin eggs inhibited exocytosis-dependent plasma membrane resealing.

Composition, methods and reagents for the synthesis of a soluble form of human PHEX

This invention relates to a soluble form of PHEX, PHEX being a type II integral membrane glycoprotein. This enzyme is the gene product of a phosphate-regulating gene with homologies to endopeptidases on the X chromosome. To produce a soluble form of PHEX, the transmembrane anchor domain has been modified to encode a signal peptidase coding sequence. The soluble PHEX therefore comprises the active ectodomain. An inactive mutant of PHEX is also an object of this invention. Both soluble and inactive mutant forms of PHEX can be used to screen ligands to PHEX. These ligands can also be used as substrates or inhibitors of PHEX. PHEX being phosphaturic, an inhibitor thereof will be used to treat phosphaturia and / or hypophosphatemia. On the opposite, a substrate for PHEX or PHEX itself can be used to treat hyperphosphatemia.
