Differences in virus receptor for type I and type II feline infectious peritonitis virus. [PDF]
, 1998 Feline infectious peritonitis viruses (FIPVs) are classified into type I and type II serogroups. Here, we report that feline aminopeptidase N (APN), a cell-surface metalloprotease on the intestinal, lung and kidney epithelial cells, is a receptor for ...

Lysine Biosynthesis in Bacteria: A Metallodesuccinylase as a Potential Antimicrobial Target [PDF]
, 2012 In this review, we summarize the recent literature on dapE-encoded N-succinyl-l,l-diaminopimelic acid desuccinylase (DapE) enzymes, with an emphasis on structure–function studies that provide insight into the catalytic mechanism.

Proteolytic remodelling of the extracellular matrix by pericytes
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Pericytes are specialised perivascular cells intimately connected with endothelial cells and essential for the maintenance of vascular beds. They contribute to the formation and remodelling of the extracellular matrix by actively secreting proteases and protease inhibitors.

The impact of accumulating immune adaptation in circulating strains of HIV‐1
HIV Medicine, EarlyView.Abstract Background Mutations in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV‐1) enable the virus to evade recognition and killing by human leucocyte antigen (HLA)‐restricted T cells. These viral adaptations are specific to the HLA type of individuals and are therefore evident as HLA allele‐HIV sequence associations at the population level. Most studies of

Elevated Aminopeptidase P Attenuates Cerebral Arterial Responses to Bradykinin in Fawn-Hooded Hypertensive Rats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Cerebral arterial myogenic and autoregulatory responses are impaired in Fawn Hooded hypertensive (FHH) rats. Cerebral autoregulatory responses are restored in the congenic rat strain in which a segment of chromosome 1 from the Brown Norway (BN) rat was ...
