Interpro abstract (IPR001590): | Over 70 metallopeptidase families have been identified to date. In these enzymes a divalent cation which is usually zinc, but may be cobalt, manganese or copper, activates the water molecule. The metal ion is held in place by amino acid ligands, usually three in number. In some families of co-catalytic metallopeptidases, two metal ions are observed in crystal structures ligated by five amino acids, with one amino acid ligating both metal ions. The known metal ligands are His, Glu, Asp or Lys. At least one other residue is required for catalysis, which may play an electrophillic role. Many metalloproteases contain an HEXXH motif, which has been shown in crystallographic studies to form part of the metal-binding site [ (PUBMED:7674922) ]. The HEXXH motif is relatively common, but can be more stringently defined for metalloproteases as 'abXHEbbHbc', where 'a' is most often valine or threonine and forms part of the S1' subsite in thermolysin and neprilysin, 'b' is an uncharged residue, and 'c' a hydrophobic residue. Proline is never found in this site, possibly because it would break the helical structure adopted by this motif in metalloproteases [ (PUBMED:7674922) ]. This group of metallopeptidases belong to the MEROPS peptidase family M12, subfamily M12B (adamalysin family, clan (MA(M)). The protein fold of the peptidase domain for members of this family resembles that of thermolysin, the type example for clan MA and the predicted active site residues for members of this family and thermolysin occur in the motif HEXXH [ (PUBMED:7674922) ]. The M12B proteinases are also referred to as adamalysins or reprolysins [ (PUBMED:27196928) (PUBMED:15922769) ]. The adamalysins are zinc dependent endopeptidases found in snake venom. There are some mammalian proteins such as P78325 and fertilin Q28472 . Fertilin and closely related proteins appear to not have some active site residues and may not be active enzymes. CD156 (also called ADAM8 ( EC 3.4.24 ) or MS2 human) has been implicated in extravasation of leukocytes. |
