Background: BLMH/Bleomycin Hydrolase

Bleomycin hydrolase (BLMH) is a cysteine peptidase of the papain superfamily. It is named for its ability to hydrolyze the anti‑tumor agent bleomycin and inactivate it (1). It has a papain-like catalytic triad (Cys-His-Asp) with optimum activity at neutral pH. In mammals it is expressed ubiquitously in all types of tissues and its expression is up‑regulated in many tumors. It is present in the cytoplasm as homohexameric protein of approximately 300 kDa. In addition to its aminopeptidase activity, it has homocysteine-thiolactonase activity. The normal physiological function of BLMH is not clear. BLMH inactivates bleomycin, a glycopeptide anti‑cancer agent, by deaminating it (2). BLMH has been suggested to play a role in the generation of MHC class I-presented peptides (3, 4). Diminished BLMH activity may contribute to the pathology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) (5, 6). It is inhibited by cysteine protease inhibitors such as N‑ethylmaleimide, iodoacetamide, para‑hydroxymercuribenzoate, and E-64.
