DESCRIPTION

Also known as ANAN_ANACO, AN1. Cysteine protease. Displays a high level of diversity in substrate specificity at the P1-P1' cleavage site. A hydrophilic P1 residue is preferred, with Gln or Arg strongly preferred. Favors an Ile/Leu residue at the P2 position of substrates, with an overall higher preference for Leu. The optimal tripeptide for cleavage is Pro-Leu-Gln, with cleavage occurring after the Gln residue. Another optimal tripeptide is Val-Leu-Arg, which may imply that a hydrophobic residue at the P3 position of substrates is preferred.
