Granzyme A is a member of the granzyme family of the serine proteases found specifically in the cytotoxic granules of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) and natural killer (NK) cells. Granzyme A is the most abundant protease in CTL and NK cells. It induces caspase independent cell death when introduced into target cells by perforin (1). Human granzyme A is synthesized as a precursor (262 residues) with a signal peptide (residues 1 26), a propeptide (residues 27-28) and a mature chain (residues 29-262 ) (2). The purified recombinant human Granzyme A consists of residues 29 to 262 which activity was measured by its ability to cleaves a thioester substrate Z-Lys-SBzl•HCl. The reaction was performed in 0.05 M Tris, 0.15 M NaCl, 0.01% Triton X-100, pH 8.0 (Assay Buffer), initiated by addition 50 μL of various concentrations of GZMA (dilute by Assay Buffer) to 50 μL of 1.2 mM Substrate and DTNB mixture. The final well serves as a negative control with no GZMA, replace with 50μL assay buffer. Incubated at 25°C for 5min, then read at a wavelength of 405 nm. The specific activity of recombinant human Granzyme A is 912 pmol/min/μg. |
