摘要
组织蛋白酶F(cathepsin F)是半胱氨酸蛋白酶家族木瓜蛋白酶亚家族的重要成员。寄生性蠕虫组织蛋白酶F可水解半胱氨酸蛋白酶特异性底物,降解血红蛋白等宿主蛋白作为营养物质,参与虫体入侵,且具有免疫反应性,可作为寄生虫病免疫诊断、疫苗研制和抗寄生虫药物筛选的潜在靶点,对寄生虫病防治具有重要意义。本文综述了组织蛋白酶F的结构特征、作用机制及寄生性蠕虫组织蛋白酶F的研究进展。
Cathepsin F is an important member of papain-hke subfamily in eysteine protease family. Cathepsin F of helminth parasites can hydrolyze the specific substrate, degrade host protein such as hemoglobin for nutrition, and be involved in invasion into host tissue. Therefore, cathepsin F serves as a potential target for parasitic disease immunodiagnosis, vaccine design and anti-parasite drug screening. This article reviews the structural characteristics and mechanisms of cathepsin F, and research advances on cathepsin F of parasitic helminths.
