Entry
EC 3.4.21.103               Enzyme                                 
Name
physarolisin;
Dictyostelium discoideum aspartic proteinase;
Dictyostelium discoideum aspartic proteinase E;
Physarum flavicomum aspartic proteinase;
Physarum polycephalum acid proteinase;
Physarum aspartic proteinase;
physaropepsin
Class
Hydrolases;
Acting on peptide bonds (peptidases);
Serine endopeptidases
Reaction(IUBMB)
Milk clotting activity. Preferential cleavage of Gly8!Ser in B chain of insulin most rapidly, followed by Leu11!Val, Cys(SO3H)19!Gly and Phe24!Phe. No action on Ac-Phe-Tyr(I)2.
Comment
Belongs in peptidase family S53. From the slime mold Physarum polycephalum. Is not inhibited by pepstatin, but is blocked by methyl 2-diazoacetamidohexanoate. Closely similar enzymes are found in Dictyostelium discoideum and P. flavicomum. Formerly included in EC 3.4.23.6.
History
EC 3.4.21.103 created 1992 as EC 3.4.23.27 (EC 3.4.23.6 created 1992 (EC 3.4.23.6 created 1961 as EC 3.4.4.17, transferred 1972 to EC 3.4.23.6, modified 1981 [EC 3.4.23.7, EC 3.4.23.8, EC 3.4.23.9, EC 3.4.23.10, EC 3.4.99.1, EC 3.4.99.15 and EC 3.4.99.25 all created 1972 and incorporated 1978], part incorporated 1992), transferred 2003 to EC 3.4.21.103
