Disease relevance of hofD

  • These results strongly suggest that highly purified leader peptidase from E. coli and phospholipids are the only components necessary to mediate the binding, processing and insertion of this integral membrane protein [1].
  • We have studied the effect of leader peptidase overproduction on the insertion of newlymade M13 phage coat protein into the plasma membrane of infected cells [2].
  • Product of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa gene pilD is a prepilin leader peptidase [3].
  • However, in the temperature-sensitive mutant, the insertion of the Sec-independent Pf3 phage coat protein and the Sec-dependent leader peptidase were not strongly inhibited at the restricted temperatures [4].
  • Procoat, the precursor form of the major coat protein of coliphage M13, assembles into the Escherichia coli inner membrane and is cleaved to mature coat protein by leader peptidase [5].

Chemical compound and disease context of hofD

 

Biological context of hofD

  • Our data suggest that the first transmembrane and cytoplasmic regions are not directly involved in catalysis, but that the second transmembrane region and the region immediately following it may be in contact with the signal peptide and/or located spatially close to the active site of Lep [16].
  • Our results show that mutations that remove two or more of the positively charged residues within the polar region no longer block membrane assembly of leader peptidase [17].
  • The leader peptidase gene has been subcloned and transferred from this plasmid to the multicopy plasmid pBR322, yielding a new plasmid (pTD101) [2].
  • The minimum substrate sequence recognized by signal peptidase I (SPase I or leader peptidase) was defined by measuring the kinetic parameters for a set of chemically synthesized peptides corresponding to the cleavage site of the precursor maltose binding protein (pro-MBP) [18].
  • Site-directed photocross-linking experiments demonstrate that both YidC and SecY contact nascent Lep very early during biogenesis, at only 50-amino acid nascent chain length [19].
