[Substrate specificity of a protease from Thermoactinomyces vulgaris]. 1979

E Schalinatus, and H Ruttloff, and U Behnke

The cleavage specificity of a protease from Thermoactinomyces vulgaris (thermitase) was determined by the insulin B-chain and the cleavability of casein and haemoglobin by this enzyme as compared to other proteases (trypsin, chymotrypsin, proteases from Bac. megaterium and cytophages). The most intense splitting effect on the substrates under investigation (insulin B-chain, casein and haemoglobin) is exerted by thermitase, i. e., the unspecificity of this enzyme is especially marked.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).
