RUNX3 and T-Bet in Immunopathogenesis of Ankylosing Spondylitis—Novel Targets for Therapy?

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Susceptibility to ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is polygenic with more than 100 genes identified to date. These include HLA-B27 and the aminopeptidases (ERAP1, ERAP2, and LNPEPS), which are involved in antigen processing and presentation to T-cells, and ...

Use of Computational Models to Investigate Human Targets of Small Ubiquitous Molecules

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 8, April 2026.
Chemoinformatics and atomistic modeling were combined to identify protein targets of environmentally and occupationally relevant chemical compounds. A public database linking chemicals, genes, phenotypes, and diseases was used for validation. The study highlights the potential and limitations of these fast, low‐cost computational approaches for early ...

Function of the Signal Peptide and N- and C-terminal Propeptides in the Leucine Aminopeptidase from \u3cem\u3eAeromonas proteolytica\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]

, 2004
The leucine aminopeptidase from Aeromonas proteolytica (also known as Vibrio proteolyticus) (AAP) is a metalloenzyme with broad substrate specificity. The open reading frame (ORF) for AAP encodes a 54 kDa enzyme, however, the extracellular enzyme has a ...

Bioactive Peptide‐Enriched Requeson: A Functional Dairy Product From Whey Fermentation

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study presents the production of functional Requeson from whey using lactic fermentation. Proteolysis induced by Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus promotes the generation of bioactive peptides. The product is evaluated for antioxidant, ACE‐inhibitory, DPP‐IV inhibitory, mineral chelating, and antimicrobial ...

Tn‐seq of Thermus thermophilus Genome Reveals Unexpected Tolerance to Insertions in Bacterial Common Essential Genes

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
Tn‐seq analysis of Thermus thermophilus genome reveals insertions in almost all genes, this is, there is no clear discrimination of essential genes. A similar result has not been reported in other Tn‐seq analysis of bacterial genomes so far. The polyploidy of the Thermus genome could explain the apparent non‐essentiality of key genes.

The Role of Conformational Dynamics in Antigen Trimming by Intracellular Aminopeptidases

Frontiers in Immunology, 2017
Antigenic peptides presented by the major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) molecules for recognition by cytotoxic T-lymphocytes are processed by members of the oxytocinase sub-family of M1 aminopeptidases ERAP1, ERAP2, and IRAP.

ApoJ regulates endothelial lipase activity and stability

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Endothelial lipase (EL) is a key regulator of high‐density lipoprotein (HDL) metabolism. Many aspects of EL function remain incompletely understood due to challenges in purifying active EL. This study identifies apolipoprotein J (ApoJ) as a novel chaperone for EL, crucial for its solubility and activity.

Phytochemical‐Based Strategies for Lung Cancer: Clinical Insights Into Pleiotropic Molecular Signaling and Therapeutic Roles

Phytotherapy Research, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 2003-2024, April 2026.
Lung cancer (LC) remains the leading cause of global cancer‐related death. Phytochemicals from medicinal plants are increasingly being considered as potential LC treatment agents due to their multi‐targeted action, safety, and accessibility. These have anticancer properties by regulating key molecular signaling pathways.

CD13 expression affects glioma patient survival and influences key functions of human glioblastoma cell lines in vitro

BMC Cancer
CD13 (APN) is an Alanyl-Aminopeptidase with diverse functions. The role of CD13 for gliomas is still unknown. In this study, data of glioma patients obtained by TCGA and CGGA databases were used to evaluate the survival rate and prognostic value of CD13 ...
