By Raman spectroscopic analysis we have determined the secondary structure of the
promastigote surface protease
, named PSP or gp63, of Leishmania major. It consist of nearly 50% antiparallel beta-strand, and less than 20% alpha-helix. These results are contrasted with the predominantly alpha-helical VSGs of the African trypanosomes and the alpha-helical metalloprotease
thermolysin
. The PSP of Leishmania thus represents a novel kind of membrane-anchored protease.
