The proteolytic activity of PCSK9 requires a catalytic triad of Asp186, His226, and Ser386.
“The proteolytic activity of PCSK9 requires a triad of residues (Asp 186, His 226 and Ser 386), which constitute the 'catalytic triad' of the protease.”
From PCSK9 is required for the disposal of non-acetylated intermediates of the nascent membrane protein BACE1 (2008) · cites this paper as Benjannet et al, 2006
The paper identifies Asp186 as an active-site residue in its discussion of furin-cleaved PCSK9 and reports in the Results that the H226A active-site mutant is inactive. Our copy does not identify Ser386 as the third residue or state that these three residues form a catalytic triad required for proteolytic activity (searched: Ser386, catalytic triad). Page numbers were not available in the indexed passages. (LLM, conf=0.85)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredMutation of one residue of the PCSK9 catalytic triad abolishes its proteolytic activity and its ability to undergo processing to the C-form.
“Mutation of one of these residues abolishes the proteolytic activity of PCSK9 and its ability to undergo processing to the C-form (Benjannet et al, 2004(Benjannet et al, , 2006;;McNutt et al, 2007).”
From PCSK9 is required for the disposal of non-acetylated intermediates of the nascent membrane protein BACE1 (2008) · cites this paper as Benjannet et al, 2006
The Results (page unavailable) identify H226A as an active-site mutant that remains in the ER as pro-PCSK9, supporting a failure of normal autocatalytic processing. The cited paper does not call the missing product the “C-form” or directly show that this mutation abolishes PCSK9’s proteolytic activity. (LLM, conf=0.78)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredFurin can cleave and inactivate PCSK9 in liver hepatocytes.
“It can also cleave and inactivate PCSK9 in liver hepatocytes (29, 30).”
From Asialoglycoprotein receptor 1 is a novel PCSK9-independent ligand of liver LDLR cleaved by furin (2021) · cites this paper as [29]
The paper states that furin cleaves and inactivates PCSK9 and reports evidence from hepatic HepG2 cells (passage [1], labeled Abstract in our copy). It does not directly demonstrate that cleavage and inactivation occur in liver hepatocytes; its discussion says liver-furin knockout evidence was not available. (LLM, conf=0.84)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredPCSK9 can dispose of LDLr in the endosomal-lysosomal compartment.
“Studies performed with the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLr) indicate that PCSK9 can dispose of LDLr both in the 'post-ER compartment' of the secretory pathway (Maxwell & Breslow, 2004;Maxwell et al, 2005) and in the 'endosomal-lysosomal compartment' (Benjannet et al, 2006).”
From PCSK9 is required for the disposal of non-acetylated intermediates of the nascent membrane protein BACE1 (2008) · cites this paper as Benjannet et al, 2006
Insertion of an optimal Furin-like site RRRR103 down arrow EL resulted in complete cleavage of mature approximately 48-kDa ASGR1 by endogenous Furin into a soluble secreted approximately 28-kDa sASGR1.
“Indeed, insertion of an optimal Furin-like site RRRR103↓EL (17, 29) resulted in complete cleavage of mature ∼48-kDa ASGR1 (upper band, likely endoH resistant (17)) by endogenous Furin into a soluble secreted ∼28-kDa sASGR1 (Fig. 11D).”

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.
