Analysis Note

Purified, essentially salt-free
The enzyme must be activated for 2-3 hours before use by dissolving in 2.5 mM dithiothreitol containing 1.0 mM calcium acetate.

Application

Clostripain from Clostridium histolyticum has been used as a proteolytic enzyme in perfusate to detect its effect on tube hematocrit. It has also been used in limited proteolysis of DNA polymerase (gp43) of phage T4 (RB69 gp43).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Clostripain from Clostridium histolyticum is composed of two polypeptide chains, with molecular masses of 41.7 kDa and 15.4 kDa. Clostripain has a highly restricted substrate specificity for Arg-Xaa peptide bonds. Therefore, clostripain has been explored as a potential enzyme for protein sequencing purposes. It has also been studied as a catalyst for condensation of pharmaceutically important peptides containing Arg-Pro bonds.

Other Notes

One unit will hydrolyze 1.0 μmole of BAEE per min at pH 7.6 at 25 °C in the presence of 2.5 mM DTT.

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

Calcineurin, the Ca2+/calmodulin-dependant serine/threonine phosphatase is the target for the immunosuppressant drugs FK506 and cyclosporine-A. These established calcineurin inhibitors each require an immunophilin protein cofactor. Gossypol, a polyphenol produced by the cotton plant, inhibits calcineurin (IC50=15 microM), in a noncompetitive

We demonstrate that proteases can catalyze the ligation of peptidomimetic oligomers. The enzyme clostripain was used to facilitate the native ligation of N-substituted glycine oligomers, or peptoids. In addition to mediating the efficient condensation of two peptoid fragments, iterative ligation

Clostripain-specific antibodies were used to analyse the maturation of clostripain prepro-enzyme and core protein heterologously synthesized in Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. Core protein purified from E. coli cells harbouring plasmid pHM3-23 underwent calcium-dependent, self-triggered maturation. Concomitantly, the inactive form

Acid-precipitated rabbit 'whole casein' was digested by trypsin, chymotrypsin, pepsin, and clostripain to screen for possible peptides with antibacterial properties. The peptide fragments were separated by reversed-phase chromatography. The collected fractions were pooled and their antibacterial properties tested against Escherichia
