heparin | optimizies furin processing of substrates containing multibasic residues at strategic P-positions within the cleavage site. Incubation of Fujian-like peptides with heparin results in ca. 2- to 3fold enhancement of processing. Heparin at a concentration of 0.02 mM dramatically enhances processing of the basic highly pathogenic Queretaro H5N2 peptide, albeit at neutral pH. It has no effect on processing of low pathogenic Mexico H5N2 peptide | Homo sapiens |

6 | 7.5 | influenza deltaK-Fujian-like H5N1 peptide is the best furin substrate between pH 6-7.5. At pH 6, all Fujian-like peptides are cleaved with lower kinetics as compared to pH 7.5. Low pathogenic Mexico H5N2 peptide and highly pathogenic Queretaro H5N2 peptide are not processed by furin at either pH 7.5 or 6 | Homo sapiens |
