A selective activity-based probe for the papain family cysteine protease dipeptidyl peptidase I/cathepsin C

J Am Chem Soc. 2006 May 3;128(17):5616-7. doi: 10.1021/ja060835v.

Abstract

Dipeptidyl peptidase I is involved in the activation of a number of disease-related proteases by removal of N-terminal prodipeptides. We here report a selective activity-based probe for monitoring dipeptidyl peptidase I activity in whole proteomes as well as in intact cells, without labeling of closely related enzyme family members.
