Substrate specificities for recognition at the PR/p3 site of HTLV-1 protease were clarified using small libraries of substrate peptides. Specificities at P-1 and P-1 ' positions were examined by parallel synthesis/digestion of synthetic peptides covering the PR/p3 site (KGPPVILPIQA). Specificities at P-2 to P-4 positions were examined by split and mix syntheses of olefin-peptide libraries containing the substrate sequence (PPVILPIQ). The solid-phase Horner-Emmons reaction was successfully applied to syntheses of multi-component substrates for library preparation. From the digestion of substrate peptides by a chemically synthesized mutant of HTLV-1 protease (C2A HTLV-1 PR), it was found for the first time that the preference for Pro at the P-1 ' position and for Ile at the P-2 position is unique for this enzyme.
