The novel serine protease PreR-Co promotes endothelium-independent vasorelaxation in rabbit aortic rings [PDF]

, 2003
The effect of a novel enzyme (PreR-Co) that activates renal prorenin was studied on rabbit aortas with and without endothelium. It was tested 1) in the basal tone of nonstimulated or ANG II-sensitized rings or rings precontracted with norepinephrine (NE),

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Preparation of an ACE-inhibitory peptide from Perinereis aibuhitensis protein

Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2017
The peptides with angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibition activity were prepared from Perinereis aibuhitensis protein (PAP) by hydrolysis with neutral protease, in which the ACE-inhibition rate of peptides derived from PAP was monitored.

A methionine‐lined active site governs carbocation stabilization and product specificity in a bacterial terpene synthase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals a unique active site enriched in methionine residues and demonstrates that these residues play a critical role by stabilizing carbocation intermediates through novel sulfur–cation interactions. Structure‐guided mutagenesis further revealed variants with significantly altered product profiles, enhancing pseudopterosin formation. These

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

Biodirected Screening and Preparation of Larimichthys crocea Angiotensin-I-Converting Enzyme-Inhibitory Peptides by a Combined In Vitro and In Silico Approach

Molecules
Food-derived angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitory peptides have gained attention for their potent and safe treatment of hypertensive disorders. However, there are some limitations of conventional methods for preparing ACE-inhibitory peptides.
