Function[SUBT_BACAM] Subtilisin is an extracellular alkaline serine protease, it catalyzes the hydrolysis of proteins and peptide amides. Has a high substrate specificity to fibrin.[1] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedA series of mutants of chymotrypsin inhibitor 2 (CI2), at residues that interact with the inhibited enzyme subtilisin BPN', were studied to determine the relative importance of intermolecular contacts on either side of the scissile bond. Mutants were tested for inhibition of subtilisin, rates of hydrolysis by subtilisin, and ability to acylate subtilisin. Additionally, crystal structures of the mutant CI2 complexes with subtilisin were obtained. Ordered water molecules were found to play an important role in inhibitor recognition, and features of the crystal structures, in combination with biochemical data, support a transition-state stabilization role for the P(1) residue in subtilisin catalysis. Consistent with the proposed mechanism of inhibition, in which rapid acylation is followed by religation, leaving-group contacts with the enzyme were found to be more critical determinants of inhibition than acylating-group contacts in the mutants studied here.
