Cathepsin E (EC 3.4.23.34) — a review

Abstract: Cathepsin E belongs to the third class of enzymes -hydrolases, a subclass of peptide bond hydrolases and a sub-subclass of endopeptidases with aspartic catalytic sites. Cathepsin E is an endopeptidase with substrate specificity similar to that of cathepsin D. In a human organism, cathepsin E occurs in: erythrocytes, thymus, dendritic cells, epithelial M cells, microglia cells, Langerhans cells, lymphocytes, epithelium of gastrointestinal tract, urinary bladder, lungs, osteoclasts, spleen and lymphatic nodes.

“…Hnf4α and Pdx1 are transcription factors that regulate gastrointestinal differentiation (Hayhurst et al, 2001; Offield et al, 1996). Cathepsin E (Ctse) and Gastrokine 1 (Gkn1, a stomach-specific protein), are secreted proteins (Chlabicz et al, 2011; Oien et al, 2004). These four proteins were undetectable in normal lung and Nkx2-1-positive control tumors, but were expressed Kras LA2 tumors 10 weeks after Nkx2-1 deletion (LA2ΔN) and in KN tumors.…”

“…Cathepsin E, which usually operates at acidic pH [10], has been shown to induce cancer cell apoptosis [11, 12] and inhibit tumor angiogenesis [13] at neutral pH, which promotes the finding of its activators for cancer therapy. Therefore, in this study, we sought to obtain peptides with sufficiently high biological activity that would be suitable for medical purposes.…”

“…Setting the amino acid residues Val-Leu as P2 and P1 and Ile-Ala to P1 0 , P2 0 returned cathepsin E as the most likely protease to have done the cleavage. Yet, as cathepsin D also belongs to the same subclass of endopeptidases and possesses a substrate specificity that is very similar to that of cathepsin E [10], it should be considered as (the other) responsible protease as well.…”
