A prolyl endopeptidase was purified from Flavobacterium meningosepticum. It was digested with trypsin. Two oligonucleotides, based on tryptic peptide sequences and used in PCR experiments, amplified a 300-base pair (bp) fragment. A 2.4-kilobase EcoRI fragment that hybridized to the 300-bp probe was cloned in lambda ZAP and sequenced from both strands. It contains a reading frame of 2115 bp, encoding the complete protein sequence of 705 amino acids. Ion-spray mass spectrometry experiments demonstrated the presence of an NH2-terminal signal peptide: the periplasmic mature protease is 685 residues in length for a molecular mass of 76784 Da. The prolyl endopeptidase showed no general sequence homology with known protein sequences except with that of porcine brain prolyl endopeptidase. In order to identify the active-site serine, the prolyl endopeptidase was labeled with [3H]diisopropyl fluorophosphate. One labeled peptide was purified and sequenced. The active-site serine was located in position 536 within the sequence GRSNGG. This sequence is different from the active-site sequence of the trypsin (GDSGGP) and subtilisin (GTSMAS) families.

D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.
