Abstract: | It has been shown for the first time that deacylation is the rate-limiting step in the enteropeptidase-catalyzed hydrolysis of highly effective oligopeptide substrates containing four Asp residues in positions P2–P5. On the other hand, the rate-limiting step in the hydrolysis of low-efficiency peptide substrates containing less than four Asp or Glu residues in positions P2–P5 is acylation, as it has previously been suggested for all amide and peptide substrates of serine proteases on the basis of classical works of Bender et al. The method of introduction of an additional nucleophile or another effector that selectively affects the deacylation step was used to determine the rate-limiting step in the enteropeptidase hydrolysis of N α-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-lysine thiobenzyl ester, the highly efficient amide substrate GlyAsp4-Lys β-naphthyl amide, and the low-efficiency peptide substrate VLSAADK-GNVKAAWG (where a hyphen denotes the hydrolysis site). |
