Autocatalytic Activation of the Furin Zymogen Requires Removal of the Emerging Enzyme's N-Terminus from the Active Site

BACKGROUND: Before furin can act on protein substrates, it must go through an ordered process of activation. Similar to many other proteinases, furin is synthesized as a zymogen (profurin) which becomes active only after the autocatalytic removal of its auto-inhibitory prodomain. We hypothesized tha...
