| UniProt functional annotation for U3KRG1 | |||
| UniProt code: U3KRG1. |
| Organism: | Protobothrops mucrosquamatus (Taiwan habu) (Trimeresurus mucrosquamatus). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Lepidosauria; Squamata; Bifurcata; Unidentata; Episquamata; Toxicofera; Serpentes; Colubroidea; Viperidae; Crotalinae; Protobothrops. | |
| Function: | Potent fibrinogenolytic protease which cleaves mainly the Aalpha (FGA) and Bbeta (FGB) chains of fibrinogen and slightly the gamma chain (FGG) (PubMed:8193588, PubMed:7488093). Shows preference for substrates having a moderate-size and hydrophobic residue at the P1' position. Preferentially cleaves Ala-|-Leu and Tyr-|-Leu bonds (PubMed:23732127). Is more susceptible to tripeptide inhibitors than TM-3 (AC O57413) (PubMed:9703966). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23732127, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7488093, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8193588, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9703966}. | |
| Cofactor: | Name=Zn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29105; Evidence={ECO:0000305|PubMed:23732127}; Note=Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23732127}; | |
| Activity regulation: | Inhibited by EDTA and 1,10-phenanthroline (PubMed:8193588). Is also inhibited by endogenous tripeptide inhibitors pyroGlu-Asn-Trp, pyroGlu-Gln-Trp, and pyroGlu-Lys-Trp (PubMed:9703966). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8193588, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9703966}. | |
| Subunit: | Monomer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7488093, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8193588}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7488093, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8193588}. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Expressed by the venom gland. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:7488093, ECO:0000305|PubMed:8193588}. | |
| Ptm: | The N-terminus is blocked. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7488093}. | |
| Ptm: | Not glycosylated. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23732127}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the venom metalloproteinase (M12B) family. P-I subfamily. {ECO:0000305}. | |
