ABSTRACT
The M3 metalloproteases, neurolysin and THOP1, are neuropeptidases that are expressed in various tissues and metabolize neuropeptides, such as neurotensin. The biological roles of these enzymes are not well characterized, partially because the chemical tools to analyse their activities are not well developed. Here, we developed a fluorogenic substrate probe for neurolysin and thimet oligopeptidase 1 (THOP1), which enabled the analysis of enzymatic activity changes in tissue and plasma samples. In particular, the probe was useful for studying enzyme activities in a single-molecule enzyme assay platform, which can detect enzyme activity with high sensitivity. We detected the activity of neurolysin in plasma samples and revealed higher enzyme activity in the blood samples of patients with colorectal tumor. The result indicated that single-molecule neurolysin activity is a promising candidate for a blood biomarker for colorectal cancer diagnosis.
