General description
Proteinase K is an endopeptidase that belongs to the subtilisin family of proteinases. The polypeptide chain contains 278 amino acids with the catalytic triad Asp39, His69, Ser224.
Application
Proteinase K has been used:
- to de-crosslink immunoprecipitated samples
- to treat the poly-L-lysine coated slides of colon tissues for terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay
- in in situ hybridization
Biochem/physiol Actions
Proteinase K catalyzes the hydrolysis of esters and peptide bonds. It is used with non-aqueous hydrated solvents for synthesizing peptides. Proteinase K is used to break the cross-linking that develops secondary to formalin fixation and expose the target sequence for primers and polymerase.

The general aminopeptidase PepN from Streptococcus thermophilus A was purified to protein homogeneity by hydroxyapatite, anion-exchange, and gel filtration chromatographies. The PepN enzyme was estimated to be a monomer of 95 kDa, with maximal activity on N-Lys-7-amino-4-methylcoumarin at pH 7

Centromeres are rapidly evolving across eukaryotes, despite performing a conserved function to ensure high-fidelity chromosome segregation. CENP-A chromatin is a hallmark of a functional centromere in most organisms. Due to its critical role in kinetochore architecture, the loss of CENP-A
