Background:

Protease activity is critical in cancer development and progression.
Identifying protease cleavage sequences aids in understanding protease function and signaling pathways.
Existing methods for determining cleavage sequences are often time-consuming.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a rapid and efficient method for determining protease substrate cleavage sequences.
To facilitate the identification of endogenous protease substrates and signaling pathways.
To aid in the design of novel experimental tools for protease research.

Main Methods:

Designed and implemented a diverse tetrapeptide positional scanning synthetic combinatorial library (ACC).
Utilized the library for rapid screening of proteases to determine preferred residues at P1-P4 positions.
Verified identified sequences through kinetic measurements on single peptide substrates.

Main Results:

Successfully developed and implemented a complete diverse ACC tetrapeptide positional scanning synthetic combinatorial library.
Demonstrated the library's capability for rapid screening of proteases.
Established a method for efficient determination of protease substrate cleavage sequences.

Conclusions:

The developed library enables rapid identification of protease cleavage sequences.
This method accelerates the study of protease roles in cancer.
Facilitates the discovery of new protease substrates and signaling pathways in cancer.
