  1. Enzyme Catalysis-Serine Proteases Concepts to be learned Activation Energy Transition State Example: Proteases Requirements for proteolysis Families of proteases Protein Folds used by proteases for catalysis

  2. Catalysis • Enzyme: increases rate of chemical reaction, decreases activation energy • How? • Binding to the transition state of the substrate (L. Pauling 1946) Reaction Path: Residues of Enzyme SubstrateProduct

  3. Enzymes accelerate chemical reactions by decreasing the activation energy

  4. Hydrolysis of Peptide Bonds

  5. Serine Proteases • Peptide bond cleavage by forming tetrahedral transition states: • First Stage: Acylation • “Acyl-enzyme intermediate” formed • Second Stage: Deacylation • “Acyl-enzyme intermediate” is hydrolyzed by water

  6. Serine Proteases • Rx: Peptide Bond Cleavage • 4 Requirements • Catalytic triad • Ser, His, Asp • Ser forms a covalent bond with substrate  specific reaction path • His: accepts H+ from Ser, thereby facilitates bond formation, and stabilizes negatively charged transition state • Asp-: stabilizes positive charge of His+, increases rate ~10,000 • Oxyanion binding site • Stabilizes transition state, forms 2 H-bonds to a negative oxygen of the substrate • Substrate specificity pocket • Recognition/identity (trypsin;chymotrypsin) • Non-specific binding site for polypeptide substrates

  7. Acylation and Deacylation of the Acyl-Enzyme Intermediate

  8. Serine Proteases • Rx: Peptide Bond Cleavage • 4 Requirements • Catalytic triad • Ser, His, Asp • Ser forms a covalent bond with substrate  specific reaction path • His: accepts H+ from Ser, thereby facilitates bond formation, and stabilizes negatively charged transition state • Asp-: stabilizes positive charge of His+, increases rate ~10,000 • Oxyanion binding site • Stabilizes transition state, forms 2 H-bonds to a negative oxygen of the substrate • Substrate specificity pocket • Recognition/identity (trypsin;chymotrypsin) • Non-specific binding site for polypeptide substrates

  9. Tetrahedral Transition State

  10. Chymotrypsin • 2 domains • Each domain: antiparalled  -barrel, six  -strands • Active Site: 2 loop regions from each domain • Substrate specificity pocket- Aromatics • Trypsin: R or K • Elastase: Pocket blocked small uncharged 4 (1-4) 2 (5,6) Greek Key Motif  -hairpin Loop 3-4 Loop 5-6

  11. ChymotrypsinTwo anti-parallel b domains

  12. Specificity Pocket

  13. Bacterial Subtilisin : , type (J. Kraut, UCSD) • 4  helices surrounding 5 parallel -strands • Active site: • C-end of the central -strands • Catalytic triad: S,H, D • Carboxypeptidase: (catalysis by induced electronic strain on substrate • Zn2+Protease • Glu 270 directly attacks the carbonyl carbon of the scissle bond to form a “covalent mixed-anhydride intermediate” • Zn2+ binding polarizes the carbonyl • “environment”, non-polar, induced dipole • Facilitates hydrolysis by water

  14. Subtilisin

  15. Active Site of Subtilisin

  16. Serine Proteases • Peptide bond cleavage by forming tetrahedral transition states: • First Stage: Acylation • “Acyl-enzyme intermediate” formed • Second Stage: Deacylation • “Acyl-enzyme intermediate” is hydrolyzed by water
