Aminopeptidase C of Aspergillus niger Is a Novel Phenylalanine Aminopeptidase [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2003 ABSTRACT A novel enzyme with a specific phenylalanine aminopeptidase activity (ApsC) from Aspergillus niger (CBS 120.49) has been characterized. The derived amino acid sequence is not similar to any previously characterized aminopeptidase sequence but does share similarity with some mammalian acyl-peptide ...

HISTOCHEMICAL DEMONSTRATION OF AMINOPEPTIDASE [PDF]
Journal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry, 1956 A histochemical method for demonstration of aminopeptidase in tissue sections using the substrates l-leucyl β-naphthylamide and dl-alanyl β-naphthylamide is presented. The method may also be quantitated on tissue sections. The successful histochemical demonstration of the enzyme with both substrates is dependent upon the use of frozen-

The role of insulin-regulated aminopeptidase in MHC class I antigen presentation
Frontiers in Immunology, 2012 Production of MHC I ligands from antigenic proteins generally requires multiple proteolytic events. While the proteolytic steps required for antigen processing in the endogenous pathway are clearly established, persisting gaps of knowledge regarding ...

MHJ_0125 is an M42 glutamyl aminopeptidase that moonlights as a multifunctional adhesin on the surface of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae [PDF]
Open Biology, 2013 Bacterial aminopeptidases play important roles in pathogenesis by providing a source of amino acids from exogenous proteins, destroying host immunological effector peptides and executing posttranslational modification of bacterial and host proteins.

The Discovery of Insulin-Regulated Aminopeptidase (IRAP) Inhibitors: A Literature Review
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2020 Insulin-Regulated Aminopeptidase (IRAP, EC 3.4.11.3) is a multi-tasking member of the M1 family of zinc aminopeptidases. Among its diverse biological functions, IRAP is a regulator of oxytocin levels during late stages of pregnancy, it affects cellular ...

IRAP Endosomes Control Phagosomal Maturation in Dendritic Cells
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 Dendritic cells (DCs) contribute to the immune surveillance by sampling their environment through phagocytosis and endocytosis. We have previously reported that, rapidly following uptake of extracellular antigen into phagosomes or endosomes in DCs, a ...
