Many biological pathways involving protease activity have been characterized, and a wealth of informa- tionisavailable.Fiveclassesofproteolyticenzymesarerecognizedonthebasis oftheircatalyticmechanism:aspartic,cysteine,metallo-,threonine,andserine peptidases. With the advent of whole genome sequencing, this classification system has expanded by the necessity to encompass the diverse catalytic repertoire found in nature. Much work remains to define the diversity of proteolyticeventsinbiologicalsystemsandtheirspatialandtemporaldistribu- tioninhealthanddisease.Thisvolumecontainssevenchapterscontributedby leaders in their field and provides illustrative examples of the key role of proteasesinbiologicalprocesses,andhowproteolyticfunctionandregulation can be harnessed to define new strategies of therapeutic intervention.

Thischapterreviewsourcurrentknowledge ofthebiologicalandphysiologicalfunctionsoftheseproteases,theirmolecular substrates,andtheircontributionstodisease. I. Introduction Proteolytic enzymes comprise over 2% of the known proteome, and their participation in many essential biological processes is well established. The serine proteases constitute one of the largest families of proteolytic enzymes and are well recognized for their pivotal roles in physiological processes as diverse as development, digestion, coagulation, inflammation, and immunity. Theseenzymesshareacommoncatalyticmechanismforselectivecleavageof specificsubstratesandarefrequentlyinvolvedinconsecutiveproteolyticreac- tions or protease cascades, where one protease precursor or zymogen is the substrateforanactiveprotease.Thissharedmechanismconferstheadvantage that a single signal may be specifically and irreversibly amplified every time a downstreamzymogenisactivated,providingthecapacityforunleashingaburst ofproteolyticpotential. Most of the well-characterized members of the S1 family of serine pro- teases are either secreted enzymes or exocytosed from secretory vesicles into the extracellular environment. Trypsin and chymotrypsin, the main intestinal digestive enzymes, are prototype members of the S1 family. Over the past 10 years,astructurallydistinctgroupofS1serineproteases,termedbroadlyasthe membrane-anchored serine proteases, has emerged that are synthesized with amino-orcarboxy-terminalextensionsthatservetoanchortheirserineprote- asecatalyticdomainsdirectlyattheplasmamembrane1,2(Fig.1). The largest group of membrane-anchored serine proteases is the Type II transmembrane serine proteases or TTSPs.1 These proteases are synthesized withanamino-terminalsignalanchorthatisnotremovedduringsynthesis,but serves as a transmembrane domain that positions the protease in the plasma membrane with a cytoplasmic amino-terminal domain of variable length (20– 160 amino acids) and the catalytic serine protease domain at the carboxy- terminus.1 These serine proteases are synthesized as single-chain precursors orzymogens;activationproducesatwo-chainformwiththechainslinkedbya disulfide bridge, so that the active enzyme remains membrane bound. Nine- teen human TTSPs have been identified and may be categorized into four subfamilies:Hepsin/TMPRSS,Matriptase,HAT/DESC,andCorin3,4(Fig.1).

These enzymes are also synthesized as zymogens, with an amino-terminal extension that acts as a pro-peptide, requiring proteolytic cleavage to generate the active enzyme. The Type I transmembrane serine protease, tryptase g1, is the only humanmembrane-anchoredserine protease synthesized with a carboxy-terminal hydrophobic extension that serves as a transmembrane domain.9,10 The carboxy-terminal extensions of prostasin and testisin are modified posttranscriptionally with a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)linkagethatanchorstheseproteasesintheplasmamembrane.11–15 The membrane-anchored serine proteases are proving to be key compo- nents of the cell machinery for activation of precursor molecules in the peri- cellularmicroenvironment,withseveralplayingvitalrolesduringdevelopment and themaintenanceofhomeostasis. Thereisalso growing evidencefortheir participation in the pathogenesis of inflammatory and neoplastic diseases. Endogenous protein substrates targeted by membrane-anchored serine pro- teasesincludepeptidehormones,growthanddifferentiationfactors,receptors, enzymes, adhesion molecules, and viral coat proteins.16 A number of insights intoourunderstandingoftheuniquephysiologicalfunctionsofthemembrane- anchored serine proteases and their involvement in human pathology have comefromacombinationofbiochemicalanalyses,animalmodels,andhuman patient studies. However, our current understanding of the impact of the membrane-anchored serine proteases on many biological, physiological, and pathologicalprocessesisfarfromcomplete.Thischapterprovidesahistorical perspective on the discovery of these enzymes, current knowledge of their activitiesandtheirregulation,andthefunctionalconsequencesoftheactivities of these proteases in mammalian physiology and disease.

Structural Features Allofthemembrane-anchoredserineproteaseshavemembrane-anchoring domains and structurally conserved serine protease catalytic domains. The TTSPs have additional extracellular stem regions that separate the catalytic domains from their transmembranedomains. The extracellular regions of the membrane-anchored serine proteases are believed to be essential to the biologicalandphysiologicalfunctionsascribedtotheseenzymes.

Catalytic Domains The zymogenformsof themembrane-anchored serineproteases are acti- vatedbyproteolyticcleavagefollowinganarginineorlysineaminoacidpresent inahighlyconservedactivationmotifseparatingthepro-andcatalyticdomains. Thecatalyticmechanismofthemembraneserineproteasesinvolvesacatalytic triad of three amino acids, serine (nucleophile), aspartate (electrophile), and histidine (base), present in highly conserved sequence motifs. While the geo- metric orientations of these amino acid residues are similar, the protein folds are variable, which contribute to their selective substrate specificities. The catalyticreaction followsatwo-stepmechanismforhydrolysisofsubstratesin whichacovalentlylinkedenzyme-peptideintermediateisformed,withtheloss of a peptide fragment.18 This acylation step is followed by a deacylation step whichoccursbyanucleophilicattackontheintermediatebywater,resultingin hydrolysisofthepeptide. Some insights into the structural features that contribute to the unique catalyticandsubstratespecificitiesofthemembrane-anchoredserineproteases havebeenobtainedthroughcomparativeanalysesofaminoacidsequences1,2,19 combined with tertiary structural analyses.20–26 Consistent with the family of S1serineproteases,eachcatalyticdomainpossessestwoadjacent,six-stranded b-barrel domains that are connected by three trans-domain segments. The catalytic triad amino acids are located along the junction between the two barrels, with the active site cleft running perpendicular to this junction.27 The size, shape, and charge distribution within the formed binding pocket of theactiveenzymearedeterminantsofsubstratespecificity.Thesepocketsare defined by differing substrate-binding subsites (e.g., S –S 0) and loop regions 4 2 thatsurroundtheactivesitecleft.23 Thespecificityforcleavageofsubstrateswiththepositivelychargedamino acid residues, lysine or arginine, in the P position (the position directly 1 preceding the cleaved peptide bond) is conferred by the presence of a con- served aspartate residue at the bottom of the binding pocket of all of the activated enzymes.2 The rate of cleavage is influenced by the amino acid residues surrounding the P residue, numbered P to P , counting outward 1 1 n from the amino-terminal side of the peptide bond that is cleaved during hydrolysis, and numbered P 0 through P 0 from the carboxy-terminal side.28 1 n In recent years, recombinant catalytic domains of several of the membrane- anchored serine proteases have been produced in various laboratories and peptidescreeningassaysappliedtoquantitativelyidentifycleavagepreferences fortheP andP 0 aminoacids,andsurroundingaminoacidpositions.29–35 1 1 SeveralofthebiochemicallypurifiedTTSPsrapidlyundergoautocatalytic activation in vitro (matriptase29,36 matriptase-2,37 hepsin,38 TMPRSS2,39 TMPRSS3,40 TMPRSS4,41 HAT-like 3/TMPRSS11C42).
