Abstract
Human procathepsin D was isolated from medium of human breast cancer cell line ZR-75-1 potentiated with estrogen. The isolation involved both immunoaffinity chromatography and ion-exchange chromatography. The affinity chromatography employed polyclonal antibodies raised against a synthetic activation peptide of human cathepsin D. We have started preliminary crystallization trials using the isolated material. A model of human procathepsin D was also built using coordinates of human cathepsin D and pig pepsinogen. The model aids understanding of multiple roles played by activation peptides of aspartic proteinases and will be used as a starting model for molecular replacement.
