A New Colorimetric Assay for Methionyl Aminopeptidases: Examination of the Binding of a New Class of Pseudopeptide Analog Inhibitors [PDF]
, 2006 A direct and convenient spectrophotometric assay has been developed for methionine aminopeptidases (MetAPs). The method employs the hydrolysis of a substrate that is a methionyl analogue of p-nitroaniline (l-Met-p-NA), which releases the chromogenic ...

Aminopeptidases do not directly degrade tau protein
Molecular Neurodegeneration, 2010 Background Tau hyperphosphorylation and aggregation to form intracellular neurofibrillar tangles is prevalent in a number of tauopathies. Thus there is current interest in the mechanisms involved in Tau clearance. It was recently reported that Tau can be

Characterization of the Active Site and Insight into the Binding Mode of the Anti-angiogenesis Agent Fumagillin to the Manganese(II)-Loaded Methionyl Aminopeptidase from \u3cem\u3eEscherichia coli\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]
, 2005 EPR spectra were recorded for methionine aminopeptidase from Escherichia coli (EcMetAP-I) samples (~2.5 mM) to which one and two equivalents of Mn(II) were added (the latter is referred to as [MnMn(EcMetAP-I)]).

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 56, Issue 3, March 2026.Mouse Qa1b‐restricted T cells show promiscuous requirements for positive selection. Using in vivo tetramer enrichment, in vitro APC engineering, and in vitro thymocyte stimulation, we demonstrate that a Qa1b‐restricted T cell population can be selected by both Qa1b and H2‐T11, and depends on non‐cognate CD8‐MHC I binding.
