Summary for family S33

Family type peptidaseS33.001 - prolyl aminopeptidase (Neisseria gonorrhoeae), MEROPS Accession MER0000431 (peptidase unit: 1-310)
Content of familyPeptidase family S33 contains mainly exopeptidases that act at the N-terminus of peptides.
History Identifier created: Methods Enzymol. 244:19-61 (1994)
Catalytic typeSerine
Active site residuesS107 D260 H287 
Active siteThe active site residues are in the order Ser, Asp, His in the sequence. The active site Ser occurs within the motif Gly-Xaa-Ser-Xbb-Gly, in which Xaa can be any residue and Xbb is most often hydrophobic (see the Alignment).
Activities and specificitiesProlyl aminopeptidase (S33.001) releases an N-terminal residue from a peptide, preferably (but not exclusively) a proline. A typical synthetic substrate is ProNHMec. Prolyl aminopeptidase from Xanthomonas campestris can also act as a D-AlaL-Leu dipeptidase (Alonso & Garcia, 1996). The archaean prolyl aminopeptidase is also interacting factor F1 (S33.005) of the tricorn peptidase complex (XP01-001). Tripeptidyl-peptidases A (S33.002), B (S33.006)and C (S33.007) from Streptomyces species release a tripeptide from the N-terminus of a peptide. Unusually, a homologue from Streptomyces coelicolor has been shown to be an endopeptidase with chymotrypsin-like specificity (Nagy et al., 2003). There are a large number of non-peptidase homologues in family S33, including enzymes such as epoxide hydrolases.
InhibitorsOnly some members of the family are inhibited by the general serine peptidase inhibitors DFP and PMSF. Prolyl aminopeptidase from Xanthomonas campestris is sensitive to thiol-blocking compounds such as ethyl mercury thiosalicylate and was initially misidentified as a cysteine peptidase (Kitazono et al., 2004).
Molecular structureThe tertiary structure of prolyl aminopeptidase has been determined (Medrano et al., 1998) and shows a two-domain molecule with the active site between the domains. The larger domain adopts the alpha/beta hydrolase fold and the structure similar to that of serine carboxypeptidase Y (S10.001). Hence family S33 is included in clan SC. A cysteine residue close to the active site may explain the thiol dependence of prolyl aminopeptidase. The prolyl aminopeptidase from Xanthomonas crystallized as a homodimer, but that from Serratia marcescans crystallized as a monomer.
ClanSC
Basis of clan assignmentProtein fold of the peptidase unit for members of this family resembles that of serine carboxypeptidase D, the type example of clan SC.

Biological functionsMost members of the family are synthesized with signal peptides and are thus either secreted or periplasmic enzymes. Prolyl aminopeptidase activity is not essential for bacterial growth, but may confer a selective advantage allowing a bacterium to utilize proline-rich substrates.
Pharmaceutical and biotech relevanceProlinase (S33.004) from Lactobacillus is used in cheese making. Presence of prolyl aminopeptidase has been used as a diagnostic tool for several pathogens including Clostridrium difficile and Candida albicans. Prolyl aminopeptidase is also used as a reagent in assays of other enzymes such as methionyl aminopeptidase (M24.001), performing a second cleavage to release the detectable C-terminal blocking group of the substrate.
