General description

Research area: Cell Signaling

Cathepsin D is a soluble endosomal-lysosomal aspartic protease and is synthesized in the rough endoplasmic reticulum as preprocathepsin D. It is encoded by the CTSD gene located in the 11p15.5 region.

Application

Cathepsin D from bovine spleen has been used:
  • in in vitro dose-dependent fluorometric activity assays.
  • in in vitro myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) digestion to study the uptake of malondialdehyde (MDA)-modified MOG and its implications in central nervous system autoimmunity.
  • for enzymatic digestion of the proteoglycan moiety of the articular cartilage in order to determine its dynamic elastic modulus at two different levels of tissue organization.
  • in cathepsin D activity assay.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cathepsin D is an endosomal-lysosomal aspartic protease implicated in breast cancer metastasis and Alzheimer′s disease. Lysosomal release of cathepsin D has been found to precede cytochrome c release and loss of membrane potential in apoptotic human foreskin fibroblasts. Cathepsin D levels in PC12 cells increase 12 to 24 hours after apoptosis is induced.

Unit Definition

One unit will produce an increase in A280 of 1.0 per min per mL at pH 3.0 at 37 °C measured as TCA-soluble products using hemoglobin as substrate (1 cm light path).

Cartilage stiffness was measured ex vivo at the micrometer and nanometer scales to explore structure-mechanical property relationships at smaller scales than has been done previously. A method was developed to measure the dynamic elastic modulus, |E(*)|, in compression by indentation-type

Lysosomal proteases play a crucial role in maintaining cell homeostasis. Human cathepsin D manages protein turnover degrading misfolded and aggregated proteins and favors apoptosis in the case of proteostasis disruption. However, when cathepsin D regulation is affected, it can contribute

Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein and SCAR homologue (WASH) is an important regulator of vesicle trafficking. By generating actin on the surface of intracellular vesicles, WASH is able to directly regulate endosomal sorting and maturation. We report that, in Dictyostelium, WASH is

Lysosomal enzymes function optimally in acidic environments, and elevation of lysosomal pH can impede their ability to degrade material delivered to lysosomes through autophagy or phagocytosis. We hypothesize that abnormal lysosomal pH is a key aspect in diseases of accumulation
