| 1. | HIV-1 Protease has the classic AspThrGly of Aspartyl Proteases.
|
| 2. | The overall conserved aspartyl residue required for phosphotransfer in response regulators.
|
| 3. | The aspartyl residues are involved in the hydrolysis of the peptide bonds.
|
| 4. | Chronologically, action of cathepsin S follows two cleavages performed by aspartyl proteases.
|
| 5. | Aspartyl-tRNA synthetase charges its cognate tRNA with aspartate during protein biosynthesis.
|
| 6. | It has, however, diminished discrimination, so that it can also form aspartyl-tRNAAsn.
|
| 7. | A methyltransferase dependent pathway exists for the conversion of L-isoaspartyl back to l-aspartyl.
|
| 8. | Similar methods may be used to specifically cleave tryptophanyl, aspartyl, cysteinyl, and asparaginyl peptide bonds.
|
| 9. | Aspartyl-tRNA synthetase ( DARS ) is part of a multienzyme complex of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases.
|
| 10. | HIV protease inhibitors are peptide-like chemicals that competitively inhibit the action of the virus aspartyl protease.
