General description

Cathepsin B, a bilobal protein, belongs to the papain-like family of cysteine proteases. It is produced as a preproenzyme. Its catalytic site is present at the interface between the two lobes. Cathepsin B has an occluding loop. It is located in the secretory vesicles of the neuronal cells. Active cathepsin B is found in the endosomal or lysosomal compartment under normal physiological conditions.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cathepsin B is a lysosomal cysteine proteinase that metabolizes important molecules such as β-amyloid precursor protein into harmless fragments. Cathepsin B may be detected using the chromogenic substrate Z-Arg-Arg-pNA (z-arg-arg-p-nitroanalide) or flourogenic substrate Z-Arg-Arg-AMC (z-Arg-Arg-amino-4-methylcoumarin).
Cathepsin B possesses endopeptidase and exopeptidase activity. Active cathepsin B is mostly engaged in intracellular and extracellular protein turnover, which helps cells maintain homeostatic metabolic activity. It also participates in the regulation of pro-hormone and pro-enzyme activation, antigen processing, inflammatory reactions against antigens, tissue remodeling, and apoptosis. Cathepsin B plays a key role in acute pancreatitis. It also plays a vital role in lipid metabolism in atherosclerosis.

Cysteine peptidases have potent activities in the pathogenesis of various parasitic infections, and are considered as targets for chemotherapy and antigens for vaccine. In this study, two cathepsin B-like cysteine peptidases (EmCBP1 and EmCBP2) from Echinococcus multilocularis metacestodes were identified

The pH dependence of cathepsin B-catalyzed hydrolyzes is very complex. At least seven dissociable groups are involved in the binding and hydrolysis of 7-amido-4-methyl coumarin and p-nitroaniline (pNA)-based substrates containing a P1 Arg and either a Phe or Arg at

Postviral bacterial infections are a major health care challenge in coronavirus infections, including COVID-19; however, the coronavirus-specific mechanisms of increased host susceptibility to secondary infections remain unknown. In humans, coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2, infect lung immune cells, including alveolar macrophages, a

This study presents evidence that cathepsin B, a lysosomal protease, may be involved in the regulation of apoptosis during serum-starvation in teleost follicles. Zebrafish vitellogenic follicles were isolated, incubated under serum-free conditions and homogenized. The follicle extracts demonstrated caspase-3-like activity
