MiniSdd7‐Derived Cytosine Base Editor Promotes Efficient Multiplex Gene Knockout in Porcine Primary Fibroblasts

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
The miniSdd7‐BE4max‐SpG system enables highly efficient multiplex C‐to‐T base editing of APN, CD163, and MSTN in porcine fibroblasts, providing a robust platform for future development of multiplex gene‐edited livestock. ABSTRACT Efficient multiplex genome editing is essential for improving complex traits in livestock that are governed by multiple ...

Interspecies differences in membrane-associated protease activities of thyrocytes and their relevance for thyroid cancer studies

open access: yesJournal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, 2012
Background To understand the role of proteases involved in human thyroid cancer progression and tissue invasion, thyrocytes from other species could potentially be used provided their characteristics are similar.

Purification of an Aminopeptidase Preferentially Releasing N-terminal Alanine from Cucumber Leaves and Its Identification as a Plant Aminopeptidase N [PDF]

open access: yesBioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2001
In this study, a highly active foliar aminopeptidase preferentially releasing N-terminal alanine from artificial substrates was purified and characterized from cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. suyo). The enzyme had a molecular mass of 200 kDa consisting of two subunits of 95 kDa. It was a metalloprotease the pH optimum of which was 8 to 9. It cleaved Ala-,

Cysteine Peptidases in Antitumor Immunity: Unraveling Antigen‐Presenting Cell Regulation and Therapeutic Potential

open access: yesiMetaMed, EarlyView.
This review systematically summarizes the central role of cysteine peptidases in modulating antigen‐presenting cell (APC) function and antitumor immune responses, highlighting their critical significance in overcoming tumor immune evasion. Current research has established that cysteine peptidase subtypes, including cathepsins B, S, L, and X, exert ...

Local renin angiotensin system and sperm DNA fragmentation

open access: yesAsian Journal of Andrology, 2022
The renin angiotensin system (RAS) appears to influence male fertility at multiple levels. In this work, we analyzed the relationship between the RAS and DNA integrity.

CD13/aminopeptidase N and murine cytomegalovirus infection [PDF]

open access: yesVirology, 2005
CD13/aminopeptidase N is a membrane-bound metalloproteinase implicated in human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection and pathogenesis. Anti-CD13 antibodies can neutralize HCMV infectivity, and HCMV viremia after bone marrow transplantation induces anti-CD13 autoantibodies which correlate with development of chronic graft vs. host disease.

Evolution of free amino acids and volatile compounds in dry‐cured fermented 'salchichón' sausages superficially inoculated with different molds

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Surface molds contribute to flavor development in dry‐cured fermented sausages through their effects on proteolysis, amino acid catabolism, and volatile compound formation. This study evaluated the influence of Aspergillus oryzae, Penicillium camemberti, Penicillium roqueforti and Penicillium nalgiovense on the evolution of free ...

The internal sequence of the peptide-substrate determines its N-terminus trimming by ERAP1.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2008
BackgroundEndoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 (ERAP1) trims N-terminally extended antigenic peptide precursors down to mature antigenic peptides for presentation by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules.

Variable O-glycosylation of CD13 (aminopeptidase N)

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1991
The monoclonal antibody AG6 was raised against HUVE cells and was confirmed as recognizing CD13 (aminopeptidase N) by its reactivity with the CD13 cDNA transfectant pipz "4". However, in sequential immunoprecipitation studies with another anti-CD13 monoclonal, WM15, neither was able to completely remove the molecules recognized by the other.

Effects of Straw Incorporation and Tillage Depth on Soil Quality in Mollisol Profiles

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although improvements in soil quality under straw incorporation have been well documented, responses across soil profiles under different tillage depths remain unclear. To address this issue, a field experiment was established in 2011 in Mollisols with conventional tillage (20 cm depth) without straw (CT) and with straw (SCT), no tillage with ...
