ENZYME entry: EC 3.4.22.33

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/3.4.22.33
Accepted Name
fruit bromelain
Reaction catalysed
Hydrolysis of proteins with broad specificity for peptide bonds. Bz-Phe-Val-Arg-|-NHMec is a good synthetic substrate, but there is no action on Z-Arg-Arg-|-NHMec (cf. stem bromelain)
Comment(s)
  • From the pineapple plant, Ananas comosus.
  • Scarcely inhibited by chicken cystatin.
  • Another cysteine endopeptidase, with similar action on small molecule substrates, pinguinain (formerly EC 3.4.99.18), is obtained from the related plant, Bromelia pinguin, but pinguinain differs from fruit bromelain in being inhibited by chicken cystatin.
  • Belongs to peptidase family C1.
  • Formerly EC 3.4.4.24, EC 3.4.22.4 and EC 3.4.22.5.
