Asparaginylendopeptidase

Asparaginylendopeptidase specifically cleaves peptide bonds on the carboxyl side of asparagine residues, including –Asn-Pro– bonds. The substrate specificity of this enzyme has been validated on many peptides and proteins. The bonds next to N-terminal or N-second position asparagine residues will not be cleaved with this enzyme. Bonds adjacent to C-terminal asparagines residues are cleaved. Also, because asparagine residues bound to sugar chains are not cleaved, this enzyme can be used to estimate the attachment sites of sugars in glycoproteins of known sequence. Asparaginylendopeptidase is isolated from Jack bean.
