Staphylococcal Protease: A Proteolytic Enzyme Specific for Glutamoyl Bonds

Open access
Houmard, Jean, Drapeau, Gabriel R.·1972·Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

Abstract

An extracellular protease of Staphylococcus aureus , strain V8, previously shown to cleave specifically the peptide bonds on the carboxyl-terminal side of either aspartate or glutamate residues in phosphate buffer (pH 7.8) hydrolyzes only glutamoyl bonds in either ammonium bicarbonate (pH 7.8) or ammonium acetate (pH 4.0). Of all aspartoyl bonds tested, only the Asp-Gly linkage is cleaved at a detectable rate. The staphylococcal protease hydrolyzes all of the seventeen different glutamoyl bonds studied, although those involving hydrophobic aminoacid residues with bulky side chains are cleaved at a lower rate.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
