Información sobre el gen

human ... CTSL1(1514)

Descripción general

The cathepsin L (CTSL) gene is mapped to human chromosome 9q21.33. It encodes a lysosomal cysteine proteinase that belongs to the peptidase C1 family. The enzyme is a dimer of a heavy (175 amino acids) and a light chain (42 amino acids) linked by disulfide bonds.

Aplicación

Cathepsin L (CTSL) from human liver has been used:
  • to digest mutant transforming growth factor β-induced (TGFBIp) and LC3 (autophagosomes marker) proteins in vitro
  • to digest the pH-dependent fibril of a pre-melanosomal protein (Pmel17) repeat domain (RPT) isoform and study the effect of pH on sRPT aggregation kinetics by tryptophan fluorescence
  • to analyze the inhibition of CTSL by small molecules or drugs in a cell-free system

Acciones bioquímicas o fisiológicas

Cathepsin L (CTSL) exhibits endopeptidase activity and breaks peptide bonds with aromatic residues. This enzyme is functional at pH 3.0–6.5 with thiol compounds. Elastin, collagen, and α-1 protease inhibitors act as substrates for cathepsin L (CTSL). CTSL cleaves several proteins including enzymes, receptors, and transcription factors. It is involved in antigenic peptide production and controls B-cells homeostasis. It is associated with myofibril necrosis and tumor progression. Increased expression of CTSL promotes metastasis and relates to poor prognosis in cancer patients. Increased expression of CTSL is observed in breast cancer. CTSL is implicated in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), middle east respiratory syndrome (MERS), gingival overgrowth, and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It has a higher specific activity than cathepsin B and H in the degradation of a variety of physiological protein substrates.

Granular corneal dystrophy type 2 (GCD2) is the most common form of transforming growth factor β-induced (TGFBI) gene-linked corneal dystrophy and is pathologically characterized by the corneal deposition of mutant-TGFBIp. The defective autophagic degradation of pathogenic mutant-TGFBIp has been shown

Endolysosomal cysteine cathepsins functionally cooperate. Cathepsin B (Ctsb) and L (Ctsl) double-knockout mice die 4 weeks after birth accompanied by (autophago-) lysosomal accumulations within neurons. Such accumulations are also observed in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) deficient for Ctsb and Ctsl.

Questions

  1. Hello, What is the protocol to bring this up in solution to have a concentration of 0.5 units/µL? Does units mean µg where the amount needed for performing digestions? Is there a protocol associated with this?

    1 answer
    1. This product is supplied as a solution. The minimum activity for each lot will be ≥0.5 units/mg protein. The specific activity of each lot is reported on the Certificate of Analysis. See the link below to review a sample Certificate:
      https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/certificates/sapfs/PROD/sap/certificate_pdfs/COFA/Q14/C6854-25UGSLCR2105.pdf

      The product is supplied in 20 mM malonate buffer, pH 5.5, with 1 mM EDTA and 400 mM NaCl. One unit is defined as the amount of Cathepsin L that hydrolyzes 1 uM Z-PHE-Arg-AFC per minute at 22 - 25 °C, in 400 mM Sodium Acetate, pH 5.5, containing 4 mM EDTA and 8 mM DTT.
