Target intelligence / Profile preview

Threonine Protease

Molecular classification: Enzyme, Protease, Threonine Protease

Overview

Threonine proteases are a family of proteolytic enzymes that utilize a threonine residue at their active site for peptide bond cleavage. The most well-known members are the catalytic subunits of the proteasome, essential for regulated protein degradation. These enzymes play crucial roles in protein turnover, cell growth, immune responses, and metabolism, and are implicated in diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders.

Mechanism of action

Threonine proteases cleave peptide bonds via a two-step catalytic mechanism involving an N-terminal threonine residue acting as a nucleophile and general base, forming an acyl-enzyme intermediate.
