Inhibition of the Aminopeptidase from \u3cem\u3eAeromonas proteolytica\u3c/em\u3e by l-leucinethiol: Kinetic and Spectroscopic Characterization of a Slow, Tight-binding Inhibitor–enzyme Complex [PDF]
The peptide inhibitor l-leucinethiol (LeuSH) was found to be a potent, slow-binding inhibitor of the aminopeptidase from Aeromonas proteolytica (AAP). The overall potency (KI*) of LeuSH was 7 nM while the corresponding alcohol l-leucinol (LeuOH) was a ...

Click Chemistry and Bioorthogonal Reaction for Aggregation‐Induced Emission Bioconjugates
This review highlights the construction of AIE active bioconjugates via click chemical or bioorthogonal reactions, and their applications in biosensing, bioimaging, and image‐guided treatment. The challenges and perspectives in the area are also discussed.

Spectroscopically Distinct Cobalt(II) Sites in Heterodimetallic Forms of the Aminopeptidase from \u3cem\u3eAeromonas proteolytica\u3c/em\u3e: Characterization of Substrate Binding [PDF]
The Co(II)Zn(II)- and Zn(II)Co(II)-substituted derivatives of the aminopeptidase from Aeromonas proteolytica (AAP) were probed by EPR spectroscopy. EPR spectra of the high-spin S = 3/2 Co(II) ions in [CoZn(AAP)] and [ZnCo(AAP)] indicated that each metal ...

The two authentic methionine aminopeptidase genes are differentially expressed in [PDF]
Background: Two putative methionine aminopeptidase genes, map ( essential) and yflG ( nonessential), were identified in the genome sequence of Bacillus subtilis. We investigated whether they can function as methionine aminopeptidases and further explored

Peptides naturally generated from ubiquitin-60S ribosomal protein as potential biomarkers of dry-cured ham processing time [PDF]
Proteolysis is a complex and dynamic process which takes place throughout the whole dry-cured processing due to the action of endogenous muscle peptidases, and results in the generation of a high number of small peptides and free amino acids responsible ...

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.

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]
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)]).

This randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled trial demonstrated that probiotic supplementation in individuals with non‐celiac gluten/wheat sensitivity improved tolerance to gluten reintroduction in nearly half of participants. The effect was associated with beneficial shifts in gut microbiome composition and function, including enhanced microbial ...

The Catalytic Role of Glutamate 151 in the Leucine Aminopeptidase from \u3cem\u3eAeromonas proteolytica\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]
Glutamate 151 has been proposed to act as the general acid/base during the peptide hydrolysis reaction catalyzed by the co-catalytic metallohydrolase from Aeromonas proteolytica (AAP).
