Application

Clostripain from Clostridium histolyticum has been used as a proteolytic enzyme in perfusate to detect its effect on tube hematocrit. It has also been used in limited proteolysis of DNA polymerase (gp43) of phage T4 (RB69 gp43).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Clostripain from Clostridium histolyticum is composed of two polypeptide chains, with molecular masses of 41.7 kDa and 15.4 kDa. Clostripain has a highly restricted substrate specificity for Arg-Xaa peptide bonds. Therefore, clostripain has been explored as a potential enzyme for protein sequencing purposes. It has also been studied as a catalyst for condensation of pharmaceutically important peptides containing Arg-Pro bonds.

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

Analysis Note

Purified, essentially salt-free
The enzyme must be activated for 2-3 hours before use by dissolving in 2.5 mM dithiothreitol containing 1.0 mM calcium acetate.

Other Notes

One unit will hydrolyze 1.0 μmole of BAEE per min at pH 7.6 at 25 °C in the presence of 2.5 mM DTT.

We demonstrate that proteases can catalyze the ligation of peptidomimetic oligomers. The enzyme clostripain was used to facilitate the native ligation of N-substituted glycine oligomers, or peptoids. In addition to mediating the efficient condensation of two peptoid fragments, iterative ligation
