Abstract: Cysteine peptidases (EC 3.4.22) are the most abundant enzymes in latex fluids. However, their physiological functions are still poorly understood, mainly related to defense against phytopathogens. The present study reports the cDNA cloning and sequencing of five undescribed cysteine peptidases from Calotropis procera (Aiton) Dryand (Apocynaceae) as well as some in silico analyses. Of these, three cysteine peptidases (CpCP1, CpCP2, and CpCP3) were purified. Their enzymatic kinetics were determined and they were assayed for their efficacy in inhibiting the hyphal growth of phytopathogenic fungi. The mechanism of action was investigated by fluorescence and atomic force microscopy as well as by induction of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The deduced amino acid sequences showed similar biochemical characteristics and high sequence homology with several other papain-like cysteine peptidases. Three-dimensional models showed two typical cysteine peptidase domains (L and R domains), forming a "V-shaped" active site containing the catalytic triad (Cys, His, and Asn). Proteolysis of CpCP1 was higher at pH 7.0, whereas for CpCP2 and CpCP3 it was higher at 7.5. All peptidases exhibited optimum activity at 35 °C and followed Michaelis-Menten kinetics. However, the major difference among them was that CpCP1 exhibited highest Vmax, Km, Kcat and catalytic efficiency. All peptidases were deleterious to the two fungi tested, with IC50 of around 50 μg/mL. The peptidases promoted membrane permeabilization, morphological changes with leakage of cellular content, and induction of ROS in F. oxysporum spores. These results corroborate the hypothesis that latex cysteine peptidases play a role in defense against fungi.
