A new fluorogenic substrate Ub-ACC (ubiquitin C-terminal 7-amino-4-carbamoylmethyl-coumarin) was developed for DUB (deubiquitinating enzyme) activity assays. This substrate can be synthesized with higher efficiency than the classical DUB substrate, Ub-AMC (ubiquitin C-terminal 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin). DUB assays using UCH-L3, OTUD2 and USP30 demonstrated that Ub-ACC shows nearly 2-fold higher sensitivity than Ub-AMC.

MT-SP1 mutein proteases with altered specificity for the target molecules they cleave can be used to treat human diseases, such as cancer. Cleaving VEGF or VEGFR at certain substrate sequences with wild-type and mutein MT-SP1 proteases can be used to treat pathologies associated with angiogenesis.
Profiling of protease specificity using combinatorial fluorogenic substrate libraries

A method is presented for the preparation and use of fluorogenic peptide substrates that allows for the configuration of general substrate libraries to rapidly identify the primary and extended specificity of enzymes, such as proteases. The substrates contain a fluorogenic-leaving group, such as 7-amino-4-carbamoylmethyl-coumarin (ACC). Substrates incorporating the ACC leaving group show comparable kinetic profiles as those with the traditionally used 7-amino-4-methyl-coumarin (AMC) leaving group. The bifunctional nature of ACC allows for the efficient production of single substrates and substrate libraries using solid-phase synthesis techniques. The approximately 3-fold increased quantum yield of ACC over AMC permits reduction in enzyme and substrate concentrations. As a consequence, a greater number of substrates can be tolerated in a single assay, thus enabling an increase in the diversity space of the library. Soluble positional protease substrate libraries of 137,180 and 6,859 members, possessing amino acid diversity at the P4-P3-P2-P1 and P4-P3-P2 positions, respectively, were constructed. Employing this screening method the substrate specificities of a diverse array of proteases were profiled, including the serine proteases thrombin, plasmin, factor Xa, uPA, tPA, granzyme B, trypsin, chymotrypsin, human neutrophil elastase, and the cysteine proteases papain and cruzain. The resulting profiles create a pharmacophoric portrayal of the proteases allowing for the design of selective substrates and potent inhibitors.
