M28 Zn-peptidase prostate-specific membrane antigen; Peptidase M28 family; prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA, also called glutamate carboxypeptidase II or GCP-II)-like subfamily. PSMA is a homodimeric type II transmembrane protein containing three distinct domains: protease-like, apical or protease-associated (PA) and helical domains. The protease-like domain is a large extracellular portion (ectodomain). PSMA is over-expressed predominantly in prostate cancer (PCa) as well as in the neovasculature of most solid tumors, but not in the vasculature of the normal tissues. PSMA is considered a biomarker for PCa and possibly for use as an imaging and therapeutic target. The extracellular domain of PSMA possesses two unique enzymatic functions: N-acetylated, alpha-linked acidic dipeptidase (NAALADase) which cleaves terminal glutamate from the neurodipeptide N-acetyl-aspartyl-glutamate (NAAG), and folate hydrolase (FOLH) which cleaves the terminal glutamates from gamma-linked polyglutamates (carboxypeptidase). A mutation in this gene may be associated with impaired intestinal absorption of dietary folates, resulting in low blood folate levels and consequent hyperhomocysteinemia. Expression of this protein in the brain may be involved in a number of pathological conditions associated with glutamate excitotoxicity. Inhibition of GCP-II has been shown to be effective in preclinical models of neurological disorders associated with excessive activation of glutamatergic systems. This gene likely arose from a duplication event of a nearby chromosomal region. Alternative splicing gives rise to multiple transcript variants. : Pssm-ID: 349942 [Multi-domain] Cd Length: 287 Bit Score: 371.95 E-value: 8.73e-124

This group contains various PA domain-containing proteins similar to GCPII including, GCPIII (NAALADase2) and NAALADase L. These proteins belong to the peptidase M28 family. GCPII is also known N-acetylated-alpha-linked acidic dipeptidase (NAALDase1), folate hydrolase or prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA). GCPII is found in various human tissues including prostate, small intestine, and the central nervous system. In the brain, GCPII is known as NAALDase1, it functions as a NAALDase hydrolyzing the neuropeptide N-acetyl-L-aspartyl-L-glutamate (alpha-NAAG), to release free glutamate. In the small intestine, GCPII releases the terminal glutamate from poly-gamma-glutamated folates. GCPII (PSMA) is a useful cancer marker; its expression is markedly increased in prostate cancer and in tumor-associated neovasculature. GCPIII hydrolyzes alpha-NAAG with a lower efficiency than does GCPII; NAALADase L is not able to hydrolyze alpha-NAAG. The GCPII PA domain (referred to as the apical domain) participates in substrate binding and may act as a protein-protein interaction domain. : Pssm-ID: 239036 Cd Length: 220 Bit Score: 295.74 E-value: 3.01e-95

Zinc peptidases M18, M20, M28, and M42; Zinc peptidases play vital roles in metabolic and signaling pathways throughout all kingdoms of life. This hierarchy contains zinc peptidases that correspond to the MH clan in the MEROPS database, which contains 4 families (M18, M20, M28, M42). The peptidase M20 family includes carboxypeptidases such as the glutamate carboxypeptidase from Pseudomonas, the thermostable carboxypeptidase Ss1 of broad specificity from archaea and yeast Gly-X carboxypeptidase. The dipeptidases include bacterial dipeptidase, peptidase V (PepV), a non-specific eukaryotic dipeptidase, and two Xaa-His dipeptidases (carnosinases). There is also the bacterial aminopeptidase, peptidase T (PepT) that acts only on tripeptide substrates and has therefore been termed a tripeptidase. Peptidase family M28 contains aminopeptidases and carboxypeptidases, and has co-catalytic zinc ions. However, several enzymes in this family utilize other first row transition metal ions such as cobalt and manganese. Each zinc ion is tetrahedrally co-ordinated, with three amino acid ligands plus activated water; one aspartate residue binds both metal ions. The aminopeptidases in this family are also called bacterial leucyl aminopeptidases, but are able to release a variety of N-terminal amino acids. IAP aminopeptidase and aminopeptidase Y preferentially release basic amino acids while glutamate carboxypeptidase II preferentially releases C-terminal glutamates. Glutamate carboxypeptidase II and plasma glutamate carboxypeptidase hydrolyze dipeptides. Peptidase families M18 and M42 contain metallo-aminopeptidases. M18 is widely distributed in bacteria and eukaryotes. However, only yeast aminopeptidase I and mammalian aspartyl aminopeptidase have been characterized in detail. Some M42 (also known as glutamyl aminopeptidase) enzymes exhibit aminopeptidase specificity while others also have acylaminoacyl-peptidase activity (i.e. hydrolysis of acylated N-terminal residues).

M28 Zn-peptidase Transferrin Receptor-like family; Peptidase M28 family; Transferrin Receptor (TfR) and prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA, also called glutamate carboxypeptidase or GCP-II) subfamily. TfR and PSMA are homodimeric type II transmembrane proteins containing three distinct domains: protease-like, apical or protease-associated (PA) and helical domains. The protease-like domain is a large extracellular portion (ectodomain). In TfR, it contains a binding site for the transferrin molecule and has 28% identity to membrane glutamate carboxypeptidase II (mGCP-II or PSMA). The PA domain is inserted between the first and second strands of the central beta sheet in the protease-like domain. TfR1 is widely expressed, and is a key player in the uptake of iron-loaded transferrin (Tf) into cells. The TfR1 homodimer binds two molecules of Tf and the complex is then internalized. TfR1 may also participate in cell growth and proliferation. TfR2 binds Tf but with a significantly lower affinity than TfR1. It is expressed chiefly in hepatocytes, hematopoietic cells, and duodenal crypt cells; its expression overlaps with that of hereditary hemochromatosis protein (HFE). TfR2 is involved in iron homeostasis; in humans, mutations in TfR2 are associated with a form of hemochromatosis (HFE3).

TfR1 and TfR2 are type II membrane proteins, belonging to the peptidase M28 family. TfR1 is homodimeric, widely expressed, and a key player in the uptake of iron-loaded transferrin (Tf) into cells. The TfR1 homodimer binds two molecules of Tf and this complex is internalized. In addition to its role in iron uptake, TfR1 may participate in cell growth and proliferation. TfR2 also binds Tf but with a significantly lower affinity than does TfR1. TfR2 is expressed chiefly in hepatocytes, hematopoietic cells, and duodenal crypt cells; its expression overlaps with that of hereditary hemochromatosis protein (HFE). TfR2 is involved in iron homeostasis. HFE and TfR2 interact in cells. By one model for serum iron sensing, at low or basal iron concentrations, HFE and TFR1 form a complex at the plasma membrane; at increased Tf, Tf competes with HFE for binding of TfR1, resulting in HFE disassociating from TfR1 and associating with TfR2 . The TfR1-TfR2 association might initiate a signal cascade leading to the induction of hepcidin (a small peptide hormone that controls systemic iron levels). Human mutations in TfR2 are associated with a form of hemochromatosis (HFE3). The significance of the PA domain to TfRs has not been ascertained. It may be a protein-protein interaction domain. At peptidase active sites, the PA domain may participate in substrate binding and/or promoting conformational changes, which influence the stability and accessibility of the site to substrate.

M28 Zn-Peptidase Plasma glutamate carboxypeptidase; Peptidase M28 family; Plasma glutamate carboxypeptidase (PGCP; blood plasma glutamate carboxypeptidase; EC 3.4.17.21) subfamily. PGCP is a 56kDa glutamate carboxypeptidase that is mainly produced in mammalian placenta and kidney, the majority of which is thought to be secreted into the bloodstream. Similar proteins are also found in other species, including bacteria. These proteins contain protease-associated (PA) domain inserts between the first and second strands of the central beta sheet in the protease-like domain. The PA domains may participate in substrate binding and/or promoting conformational changes, which influence the stability and accessibility of the site to substrate. The exact physiological substrates of PGCP are unknown, although this enzyme may play an important role in the hydrolysis of circulating peptides. Its closest homolog encodes an important brain glutamate carboxypeptidase II (NAALADase) identical to the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), which serves as a marker for prostatic cancer metastasis. Hypermethylation of PGCP gene has been associated with human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cell immortalization and lung cancer. PGCP also provides an attractive target for serological analysis in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients.

M28 Zn-peptidase Transferrin Receptor-like family; Peptidase M28 family; Transferrin Receptor (TfR) and prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA, also called glutamate carboxypeptidase or GCP-II) subfamily. TfR and PSMA are homodimeric type II transmembrane proteins containing three distinct domains: protease-like, apical or protease-associated (PA) and helical domains. The protease-like domain is a large extracellular portion (ectodomain). In TfR, it contains a binding site for the transferrin molecule and has 28% identity to membrane glutamate carboxypeptidase II (mGCP-II or PSMA). The PA domain is inserted between the first and second strands of the central beta sheet in the protease-like domain. TfR1 is widely expressed, and is a key player in the uptake of iron-loaded transferrin (Tf) into cells. The TfR1 homodimer binds two molecules of Tf and the complex is then internalized. TfR1 may also participate in cell growth and proliferation. TfR2 binds Tf but with a significantly lower affinity than TfR1. It is expressed chiefly in hepatocytes, hematopoietic cells, and duodenal crypt cells; its expression overlaps with that of hereditary hemochromatosis protein (HFE). TfR2 is involved in iron homeostasis; in humans, mutations in TfR2 are associated with a form of hemochromatosis (HFE3). PSMA is over-expressed predominantly in prostate cancer (PCa) as well as in the neovasculature of most solid tumors, but not in the vasculature of normal tissues. PSMA is considered a biomarker for PCa and possibly for use as an imaging and therapeutic target. The extracellular domain of PSMA possesses two unique enzymatic functions: N-acetylated, alpha-linked acidic dipeptidase (NAALADase) which cleaves terminal glutamate from the neurodipeptide N-acetyl-aspartyl-glutamate (NAAG), and folate hydrolase (FOLH) which cleaves the terminal glutamates from gamma-linked polyglutamates (carboxypeptidase). A mutation in this gene may be associated with impaired intestinal absorption of dietary folates, resulting in low blood folate levels and consequent hyperhomocysteinemia. Expression of this protein in the brain may be involved in a number of pathological conditions associated with glutamate excitotoxicity. This gene likely arose from a duplication event of a nearby chromosomal region. Alternative splicing gives rise to multiple transcript variants. While related in sequence to peptidase M28 GCP-II, TfR lacks the metal ion coordination centers and protease activity. Pssm-ID: 349871 [Multi-domain] Cd Length: 278 Bit Score: 57.31 E-value: 9.07e-09

These proteins belong to the peptidase S8 family. Cucumisin from the juice of melon fruits is a thermostable serine peptidase, with a broad substrate specificity for oligopeptides and proteins. A. thaliana Ara12 is a thermostable, extracellular serine protease, found chiefly in silique tissue and stem tissue. Ara12 is stimulated by Ca2+ ions. A. glutinosa ag12 is expressed at high levels in the nodules, and at low levels in the shoot tips; it is implicated in both symbiotic and non-symbiotic processes in plant development. The tomato P69 protease family is comprised of various protein isoforms of approximately 69KDa. These isoforms accumulate extracellularly. Some of the P69 genes are tightly regulated in a tissue specific fashion, and by environmental and developmental signals. For example: infection with avirulent bacteria activates transcription of the genes for the P69 B and C isoforms, the P69 E transcript was detected only in roots, and the P69F transcript only in hydathodes. The Tomato LeSBT2 subtilase transcript was not detected in flowers and roots, but was present in cotyledons and leaves. The significance of the PA domain to these proteins has not been ascertained. It may be a protein-protein interaction domain.

Zinc peptidases M18, M20, M28, and M42; Zinc peptidases play vital roles in metabolic and signaling pathways throughout all kingdoms of life. This hierarchy contains zinc peptidases that correspond to the MH clan in the MEROPS database, which contains 4 families (M18, M20, M28, M42). The peptidase M20 family includes carboxypeptidases such as the glutamate carboxypeptidase from Pseudomonas, the thermostable carboxypeptidase Ss1 of broad specificity from archaea and yeast Gly-X carboxypeptidase. The dipeptidases include bacterial dipeptidase, peptidase V (PepV), a non-specific eukaryotic dipeptidase, and two Xaa-His dipeptidases (carnosinases). There is also the bacterial aminopeptidase, peptidase T (PepT) that acts only on tripeptide substrates and has therefore been termed a tripeptidase. Peptidase family M28 contains aminopeptidases and carboxypeptidases, and has co-catalytic zinc ions. However, several enzymes in this family utilize other first row transition metal ions such as cobalt and manganese. Each zinc ion is tetrahedrally co-ordinated, with three amino acid ligands plus activated water; one aspartate residue binds both metal ions. The aminopeptidases in this family are also called bacterial leucyl aminopeptidases, but are able to release a variety of N-terminal amino acids. IAP aminopeptidase and aminopeptidase Y preferentially release basic amino acids while glutamate carboxypeptidase II preferentially releases C-terminal glutamates. Glutamate carboxypeptidase II and plasma glutamate carboxypeptidase hydrolyze dipeptides. Peptidase families M18 and M42 contain metallo-aminopeptidases. M18 is widely distributed in bacteria and eukaryotes. However, only yeast aminopeptidase I and mammalian aspartyl aminopeptidase have been characterized in detail. Some M42 (also known as glutamyl aminopeptidase) enzymes exhibit aminopeptidase specificity while others also have acylaminoacyl-peptidase activity (i.e. hydrolysis of acylated N-terminal residues).

Similar to Nicastrin, Nicalin lacks the amino-acid conservation required for catalytically active aminopeptidases. Functional studies in zebrafish embryos and cultured human cells reveal that nicalin and Nomo collaborate to antagonize the Nodal/TGFbeta signaling pathway. Thus, nicastrin and nicalin are both associated with protein complexes involved in cell fate decisions during early embryonic development.
