A bifunctional asparaginyl endopeptidase efficiently catalyzes both cleavage and cyclization of cyclic trypsin inhibitors

Asparaginyl endopeptidases (AEPs) catalyze the cyclization step during the biosynthesis of cyclic peptides in plants. Here, the authors report a recombinantly produced AEP that catalyzes the backbone cyclization of a linear cyclotide precursor and an engineered analog with high efficiency and in a p...

Sumario:Asparaginyl endopeptidases (AEPs) catalyze the cyclization step during the biosynthesis of cyclic peptides in plants. Here, the authors report a recombinantly produced AEP that catalyzes the backbone cyclization of a linear cyclotide precursor and an engineered analog with high efficiency and in a pH-dependent manner.
