3.4.21.103

Accepted name:

physarolisin

Reaction:

Milk clotting activity. Preferential cleavage of Gly⁸┼Ser in B chain of insulin most rapidly, followed by Leu¹¹┼Val, Cys(SO₃H)¹⁹┼Gly and Phe²⁴┼Phe. No action on Ac-Phe-Tyr(I)₂.

Other name(s):

Dictyostelium discoideum aspartic proteinase; Dictyostelium discoideum aspartic proteinase E; Physarum flavicomum aspartic proteinase; Physarum polycephalum acid proteinase; Physarum aspartic proteinase; physaropepsin

Comments:

Belongs in peptidase family S53. From the slime mold Physarum polycephalum. Is not inhibited by pepstatin, but is blocked by methyl 2-diazoacetamidohexanoate. Closely similar enzymes are found in Dictyostelium discoideum and P. flavicomum. Formerly included in EC 3.4.23.6.
