additional information | molecular basis for the inhibition of the mature enzyme by the prodomain. The prodomain of procathepsin H has an N-terminal helical subdomain (Ala1P-Ser75P) and an extended portion (Glu76P-Pro93P) that links the helical subdomain to Tyr1 of the mature domain | Homo sapiens |

Posttranslational Modification | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
glycoprotein | the enzyme harbors two glycosylation sites, Asn79P on the mini-chain of the prodomain and Asn115 on the mature domain. No glycan is built for Asn79P in cathepsin H due to poor electron density, although it is glycosylated | Homo sapiens |
proteolytic modification | the enzyme is synthesized as an inactive proenzyme, the N-terminal prodomain (Ala1P-Pro93P) is cleaved off for maturation, a C-terminal mature domain (Tyr1-Val220) with a disulfide bridge between Cys212 and the mini-chain Cys80P remains. Procathepsin H is not autoactivated but can be transactivated by cathepsin L. The prodomain of procathepsin H has an N-terminal helical subdomain (Ala1P-Ser75P) and an extended portion (Glu76P-Pro93P) that links the helical subdomain to Tyr1 of the mature domain | Homo sapiens |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
evolution | cathepsin H is a member of the papain superfamily of lysosomal cysteine proteases | Homo sapiens |
additional information | the catalytic triad residues Cys26, His166 and Asn186 of procathepsin H reside in the active site cleft | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | the mature enzyme is inhibited by its own prodomain after maturation cleavage. Upon activation, cathepsin H displays a distinct proteolytic activity among the papain superfamily, functioning predominantly as an aminopeptidase that cleaves a single N-terminal residue from a polypeptide chain. Cathepsin H has also been shown to act as an endopeptidase, although with much lower efficiency | Homo sapiens |
