Query author contributions in Reactome
Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.
If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

| comment | FUNCTION Thiol protease important for the overall degradation of proteins in lysosomes (Probable). Plays a critical for normal cellular functions such as general protein turnover, antigen processing and bone remodeling. Involved in the solubilization of cross-linked TG/thyroglobulin and in the subsequent release of thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4) by limited proteolysis of TG/thyroglobulin in the thyroid follicle lumen (By similarity). In neuroendocrine chromaffin cells secretory vesicles, catalyzes the prohormone proenkephalin processing to the active enkephalin peptide neurotransmitter (By similarity). In thymus, regulates CD4(+) T cell positive selection by generating the major histocompatibility complex class II (MHCII) bound peptide ligands presented by cortical thymic epithelial cells. Also mediates invariant chain processing in cortical thymic epithelial cells (By similarity). Major elastin-degrading enzyme at neutral pH. Accumulates as a mature and active enzyme in the extracellular space of antigen presenting cells (APCs) to regulate degradation of the extracellular matrix in the course of inflammation (By similarity). Secreted form generates endostatin from COL18A1 (PubMed:10716919). Critical for cardiac morphology and function. Plays an important role in hair follicle morphogenesis and cycling, as well as epidermal differentiation (By similarity). Required for maximal stimulation of steroidogenesis by TIMP1 (By similarity).FUNCTION (Microbial infection) In cells lacking TMPRSS2 expression, facilitates human coronaviruses SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 infections via a slow acid-activated route with the proteolysis of coronavirus spike (S) glycoproteins in lysosome for entry into host cell (PubMed:16339146, PubMed:18562523, PubMed:32142651, PubMed:32221306, PubMed:37990007). Proteolysis within lysosomes is sufficient to activate membrane fusion by coronaviruses SARS-CoV and EMC (HCoV-EMC) S as well as Zaire ebolavirus glycoproteins (PubMed:16081529, PubMed:18562523, PubMed:26953343).FUNCTION Functions in the regulation of cell cycle progression through proteolytic processing of the CUX1 transcription factor (PubMed:15099520). Translation initiation at downstream start sites allows the synthesis of isoforms that are devoid of a signal peptide and localize to the nucleus where they cleave the CUX1 transcription factor and modify its DNA binding properties (PubMed:15099520).CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Specificity close to that of papain. As compared to cathepsin B, cathepsin L exhibits higher activity toward protein substrates, but has little activity on Z-Arg-Arg-NHMec, and no peptidyl-dipeptidase activity.ACTIVITY REGULATION Inhibited by the propeptide produced by autocleavage (PubMed:9468501). Long isoform of CD74/Ii chain stabilizes the conformation of mature CTSL by binding to its active site and serving as a chaperone to help maintain a pool of mature enzyme in endocytic compartments and extracellular space of APCs. IFNG enhances the conversion into the CTSL mature and active form (By similarity). Inhibited by CST6. Inhibited by the glycopeptide antibiotic teicoplanin (PubMed:26953343). Inhibited by amantadine (PubMed:32361028).BIOPHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES Optimum pH is 5.5, also active at pH 7.0 with CUX1 as substrate.SUBUNIT Dimer of a heavy and a light chain linked by disulfide bonds. Interacts with Long isoform of CD74/Ii chain; the interaction stabilizes the conformation of mature CTSL.INTERACTION Localizes to the apical membrane of thyroid epithelial cells. Released at extracellular space by activated dendritic cells and macrophages.SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Translation initiation at downstream start sites allows the synthesis of isoforms that are devoid of a signal peptide and do not transit through the endoplasmic reticulum to localize to the nucleus (PubMed:15099520). Nuclear location varies during the cell cycle, with higher levels during S phase (PubMed:15099520).ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS During export along the endocytic pathway, pro-CTSL undergoes several proteolytic cleavages to generate the CTSL single-chain and two-chain mature forms, composed of a heavy chain linked to a light chain by disulfide bonds (By similarity). Autocleavage; produces the single-chain CTSL after cleavage of the propeptide. The cleavage can be intermolecular (PubMed:9468501).SIMILARITY Belongs to the peptidase C1 family. |
