Title: Substrate optimization for monitoring cathepsin C activity in live cells.
Authors: Li J, Petrassi HM, Tumanut C, Masick BT, Trussell C, Harris JL.
Abstract: A series of peptidic fluorogenic substrates were synthesized to develop a flow cytometry assay (FACS) to monitor the proteolytic activity of cathepsin C in live cells. Of the 16 substrates tested, (NH(2)-aminobutyric-homophenylalanine)(2)-rhodamine demonstrated the best reactivity and selectivity profile in the FACS assay using the B721 human B-lymphoblastoid cell line. The resulting FACS assay was validated through correlation of the IC(50) values with a competitive radiolabeling assay against a series of small molecule inhibitors of cathepsin C.
