Uncoupling Intramolecular Processing and Substrate Hydrolysis in the N-Terminal Nucleophile Hydrolase hASRGL1 by Circular Permutation

Abstract: The human asparaginase-like protein 1 (hASRGL1) catalyzes the hydrolysis of l-asparagine and isoaspartyl-dipeptides. As an N-terminal nucleophile (Ntn) hydrolase superfamily member, the active form of hASRGL1 is generated by an intramolecular cleavage step with Thr168 as the catalytic residue. However, in vitro, autoprocessing is incomplete (~50 %), fettering the biophysical characterization of hASRGL1. We circumvented this obstacle by constructing a circularly permuted hASRGL1 that uncoupled the autoprocessin… Show more

“…The human ASRGL1 protein contains 308 amino acids and is activated by autocleavage at amino acid 168 to form an alpha-chain and a betachain (Fig. 3A), which dimerize into a heterodimer [16]. ASRGL1 is relatively stable in its inactive full-length form [35], and can be detected on the Western blot as a band at 40 kDa.…”

“…Here we have used an antibody against the isoaspartyl peptidase/ L-asparaginase protein ASRGL1, an enzyme involved in the production of L-aspartate [15,16] to assess its prognostic value in EC on two large tissue microarray (TMA) cohorts, together consisting of over 480 EC tumor samples. In a systematic search for novel EC biomarkers using The Human Protein Atlas [17][18][19], ASRGL1 was identified as a candidate biomarker based on differential expression in EC.…”

“…This engineering design physically links the original N- and C-termini, and the protein is now expressed such that the active site nucleophile Thr168 is the new N-terminus once the initiator Met residue is cleaved during translation. 6 The cp-hASRGL1 construct therefore uncouples the intramolecular processing event needed for subsequent hydrolysis of substrate. The utility of this approach is evidenced by high expression yields and enzymatic activity that is comparable to that of fully activated wt-hASRGL1.…”
