Abstract
We have recently reported about shorter proteolytic peptides termed Catalytide as general name. JAL-TA9 (YKGSGFRMI), a fragment peptide derived from Box A region of Tob1 protein, is the first Catalytide and cleaves Aβ42 and its fragment peptides. Herein, we demonstrate the enzymatic properties of ANA-TA9 corresponding region to JAL-TA9 in ANA/BTG3 protein. ANA-TA9 showed the auto-proteolytic activity and cleaved 3 kinds of synthetic fragment peptides derived from Aβ42, especially on the central region of Aβ42 with a serine protease like activity. Interestingly, 2 kinds of components, ANA-SA5 (SKGQA) and ANA-YA4 (YRMI), also showed similar proteolytic activity. These results indicate that ANA-TA9 is composed of two different Catalytides.
