    AnnotationCathepsin D is an aspartic peptidase involved in cellular processes including proliferation and apoptosis. We describe a complex pattern of modulation of the peptidolytic activity of cathepsin D by sphingolipids. A panel of sphingolipid derivatives was screened in a FRET-based assay; these molecules demonstrated negative or positive modulation of cathepsin D peptidolytic activity, depending on the sphingolipid structure. Certain sphingosines and ceramides inhibited cathepsin D, and structural requirements for this inhibitory effect were evaluated. In contrast, monoester phosphosphingolipids, especially ceramide-1-phosphate, were identified as activators of cathepsin D peptidolytic activity Thus, sphingolipids and phosphosphingolipids, known to be antagonistic in their cell-signaling functions, displayed opposite modulation of cathepsin D.
