Substrate Profiling of Cysteine Proteases in Physiology and Pathology
Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse
Proteolytic processing affects every protein, leading to stable cleavage products with altered functionality or protein degradation. “Degradomics” describes novel functional proteomic tools, which investigate proteolytic processing in the cellular context. The Emmy-Noether project successfully established a “degradomics” laboratory that is well integrated in the local, national, and international scientific community. The Emmy-Noether project further enhanced the degradomic toolbox, e.g. through proteome-wide analysis of protein C-termini. Furthermore, clinical degradomics has been enabled by developing N-terminomic techniques for the analysis of archived, formalin-fixed, paraffinembedded specimens. Also, the usage of proteome-derived peptide libraries for the in vitro determination of protease specificity has been enhanced by a refined, more robust workflow. The project has largely focused on cysteine cathepsins due to their prominent implications in numerous (patho-)physiological processes. Proteomic and degradomic studies on cysteine cathepsins have been conducted on the in vitro, cell-contextual, and in vivo level. A novel link between cysteine cathepsins, matrix metalloproteases, and the matricellular protein periostin has been uncovered. At the same time, novel, non-enzymatic cathepsin functions are being equally investigated.
