== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/ASTA_ASTAS ASTA_ASTAS] This protease prefers to cleave in front of small aliphatic residues (P1'). The presence of Lys or Arg in the P1 and P2 position yields high-turnover substrates. In the P3 position the enzyme prefers Pro > Val > Leu > Ala > Gly.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Astacin, a 200 residue digestive zinc-endopeptidase from the crayfish Astacus astacus L., is the prototype of the "astacin family", which comprises several membrane-bound mammalian endopeptidases and developmentally implicated regulatory proteins. Large trigonal crystals of astacin were grown, and X-ray reflection data to 1.8 A resolution were collected. The astacin structure has been solved by multiple isomorphous replacement using six heavy-atom derivatives, and refined to a crystallographic R-value of 0.158 applying stringent constraints. All 200 residues are clearly defined by electron density; 181 solvent molecules have been localized. Besides the native structure, the structures of Hg-astacin (with a mercury ion replacing the zinc) and of the apoenzyme were also refined. The astacin molecule exhibits a kidney-like shape. It consists of an amino-terminal and a carboxy-terminal domain, with a deep active-site cleft in between. The zinc ion, located at the bottom of this cleft, is co-ordinated in a novel trigonal-bipyramidal geometry by three histidine residues, a tyrosine and by a water molecule, which is also bound to the carboxylate side-chain of Glu93. The amino-terminal domain of astacin consists mainly of two long alpha-helices, one centrally located and one more peripheral, and of a five-stranded pleated beta-sheet. The amino terminus protrudes into an internal, water-filled cavity of the lower domain and forms a buried salt bridge with Glu103; amino-terminally extended pro-forms of astacin are thus not compatible with this structure. The carboxy-terminal domain of astacin is mainly organized in several turns and irregular structures. Because they share sequence identity of about 35%, the structures of the proteolytic domains of the other "astacin" members must be quite similar to astacin. Only a few very short deletions and insertions quite distant from the active-site distinguish their structures from astacin. The five-stranded beta-sheet and the two helices of the amino-terminal domain of astacin are topologically similar to the structure observed in the archetypal zinc-endopeptidase thermolysin; the rest of the structures are, in contrast, completely unrelated in astacin and thermolysin. The zinc ion, the central alpha-helix and the zinc-liganding residues His92, Glu93 and His96 of astacin are nearly superimposable with the respective groups of thermolysin, namely with the zinc ion, the "active-site helix", and His142TL, Glu143TL and His146TL of the zinc-binding consensus motif His-Glu-Xaa-Xaa-His (where Xaa is any amino acid residue).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
