3.4.22.15: cathepsin L
This is an abbreviated version!
For detailed information about cathepsin L, go to the full flat file.
Reaction
similar to that of papain. As compared to cathepsin B, cathepsin L exhibits higher activity towards protein substrates, but has little activity on Z-Arg-Arg-NHMec, and no peptidyl-dipeptidase activity

additional information
expression of the mature protein, amino acids 92-518, does not give an active protein. A protein fragment, amino acids 92-518, does not display proteolytic activity. A fragment including the propeptide, amino acids 30-518, displays proteolytic activity on azocasein and fibronectin and can be processed to the active mature protein

cathepsin L inhibition by siRNA triggers autophagy
additional information
-
constitutive cardiac over-expression in mice attenuates the hypertropic response, markedly reduces apoptosis, and fibrosis. Cardiac function is also preserved in hearts with increased cathepsin L levels in response to hypertropic stimuli, associated with attenuation of the Akt/GSK3beta signaling cascade
additional information
-
knock-down of cathepsin L by siRNA results in a marked decrease in the level of the processed form of heparanase by 65%. Cathepsin L knock-out fibroblasts express high levels of the full-length 65-kDa proheparanase and display almost no heparanase enzymatic activity
additional information
mutant C25S/S24A/W26Y/M161L/D162N/G164A/V165M plus 173ESTESDNN180 to ISNNQ and mutant C25S/S24A/W26Y/M161L/D162N/G164A/V165M/E159S/D160S plus 173ESTESDNN180 to ISNNQ and mutant C25S/S24A/W26Y/M161L/D162N/G164A/V165M/E159S/D160S/E153S/P154S plus 173ESTESDNN180 to ISNNQ increasingly match the features that are unique silicatein alpha. The additional mutations on mutant C25S/S24A/W26Y of cathepsin L to further increase its resemblance to silicatein alpha do not significantly increase the ability to condense silica

cathepsin L knock-out mice show major decreases in adrenocorticotropic hormone, beta-endorphin, and alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone in pituitary, accompanied by increased levels of proopiomelanocortin

additional information
-
construction of cell lines with reduced expression of cathepsin L by stable transfection of H-59 cells with a plasmid expressing an antisense fragment of mouse cathepsin L cDNA. Transfected cells show a loss of IGF-I-induced receptor phosphorylation and Shc recruitment, reduced IGF-I (but not IGFII)-induced cellular proliferation and migration, decreased anchorage-independent growth and reduced plasma membrane levels of IGF type I receptor. Changes result in apoptosis in vivo and an impaired ability to form liver metastases

mice lacking the activity of cathepsin B, cathepsin L, or cathepsin S are similar to wild-type in their ability to control the growth and dissemination of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
