Families of zinc metalloproteases
Abstract
A scheme based on the zinc binding site [1992, FEBS Lett. 312, 110-114] has been extended to classify zinc metalloproteases into distinct families. The gluzincins, defined by the HEXXH motif and a glutamic acid as the third zinc ligand, include the thermolysin, endopeptidase-24.11, aminopeptidase, angiotensin converting enzyme, endopeptidase-24.15, and tetanus and botulinum neurotoxin families. The metzincins, defined by the HEXXH motif, a histidine as the third zinc ligand and a Met-turn, include the astacin, serralysin, reprolysin and matrixin families. The inverted zincin motif, HXXEH, defines the inverzincin family of insulin-degrading enzymes, the HXXE motif defines the carboxypeptidase family, and the HXH motif DD-carboxypeptidase.
