Dipeptidyl-peptidase IV

 

Catalyses the release of an N-terminal dipeptide, Xaa-Yaa-|-Zaa-, from a polypeptide, preferentially when Yaa is Pro, provided Zaa is neither Pro nor hydroxyproline. An integral protein of the plasma membrane of lymphocytes and other mammalian cells, in peptidase family S9 (prolyl oligopeptidase family). The reaction is similar to that of the unrelated Xaa-Pro dipeptidyl-peptidase of lactococci.

Enzyme Mechanism

Introduction

The serine nuelcophile is activated by the Ser-His-Asp triad and attacks the carbonyl carbon of the peptide bond in a nucleophilic addition. The oxyanion initiates an elimination reaction that cleaves the peptide bond, releasing the new N-terminus of the protein, which protonates from the His of the catalytic triad. His740 deprotonates water, which attacks the carbonyl carbon bound to the catalytic Ser in a nucleophilic addition. The serine is then eliminated by the collapse of the oxyanion in a classical Ser-His-Asp type reaction.
