Thimet oligopeptidase (EC ) is a zinc(II) endopeptidase implicated in the processing of numerous physiological peptides. Although its role in selecting and processing peptides is not fully understood, it is believed that flexible loop regions lining the substrate-binding site allow the enzyme to conform to substrates of varying structure. | ỊFEBS Journal Hydrogen bond residue positioning in the 599-611 loop of thimet oligopeptidase is required for substrate selection Lisa A.

Although its role in selecting and processing peptides is not fully understood it is believed that flexible loop regions lining the substrate-binding site allow the enzyme to conform to substrates of varying structure. This study describes mutant forms of thimet oligopeptidase in which Gly or Tyr residues in the 599-611 loop region were replaced individually and in combination to elucidate the mechanism of substrate selection by this enzyme. Decreases in kcat observed on mutation of Tyr605 and Tyr612 demonstrate that these residues contribute to the efficient cleavage of most substrates. Modeling studies showing that a hinge-bend movement brings both Tyr612 and Tyr605 within hydrogen bond distance of the cleaved peptide bond supports this role. Thus molecular modeling studies support a key role in transition state stabilization of this enzyme by Tyr605. Interestingly kinetic .
