| Post Translational Modifications | Activated by proteolytic processing. In vitro activation is commonly achieved by cleavage with dispase, a neutral bacterial protease. Dispase cleavage site was proposed to lie between Ser-470 and Ser-471 or between Pro-465 and Phe-466. Physiological activation may be catalyzed by CTSL and, to a lesser extent, by CTSS, but not by CTSB, CTSD nor CTSV. |
| Function | Catalyzes the calcium-dependent formation of isopeptide cross-links between glutamine and lysine residues in various proteins, as well as the conjugation of polyamines to proteins. Involved in the formation of the cornified envelope (CE), a specialized component consisting of covalent cross-links of proteins beneath the plasma membrane of terminally differentiated keratinocytes. Catalyzes small proline-rich proteins (SPRR1 and SPRR2) and LOR cross-linking to form small interchain oligomers, which are further cross-linked by TGM1 onto the growing CE scaffold. In hair follicles, involved in cross-linking structural proteins to hardening the inner root sheath. |
