An M29 Aminopeptidase from Listeria Monocytogenes Contributes to In Vitro Bacterial Growth but not to Intracellular Infection

Microorganisms, 2020
Aminopeptidases that catalyze the removal of N-terminal residues from polypeptides or proteins are crucial for physiological processes. Here, we explore the biological functions of an M29 family aminopeptidase II from Listeria monocytogenes (LmAmpII). We

Animal models of idiopathic membranous nephropathy: Recent advances and future perspectives

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This review focuses on the evolution of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) animal models from traditional approaches (Heymann nephritis, C‐BSA, APA) to antigen‐specific models (PLA2R, THSD7A), critically evaluating their advances and limitations in replicating human IMN pathology.

Identifying Systemic Lupus Erythematosus From Serum Proteomic Profiles Using Machine Learning and Genetic Risk Stratification

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Proteome‐wide risk models for lupus remain underexplored. We developed classification models to identify lupus from serum proteomic profiles. Methods Patients with lupus and individuals with other autoimmune diseases in the UK Biobank were included.

cDNA Cloning and Expression of Human Glutamyl Aminopeptidase (Aminopeptidase A)

Genomics, 1993
The murine B-lymphocyte differentiation antigen BP-1/6C3 has been identified as glutamyl aminopeptidase (E-AP), formerly known as aminopeptidase A, the new gene symbol for which is ENPEP. In mice, the enzyme is found on early B-lineage cells and certain stromal cells of the bone marrow and thymus.

Comprehensive Peptide Profiling Reveals the Influence of Streptococcus Thermophilus, Lactobacillus Delbrueckii Subsp. bulgaricus, and Endogenous Milk Proteases on the Hydrolysis of Milk Proteins During Early‐Stage Lactic Acid Fermentation

ChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
Untargeted peptide profiling investigates how S. thermophilus, Lb. bulgaricus, and endogenous milk enzymes impact proteolysis during early‐stage milk fermentation. ≥ 3000 identified peptides show the strongest influence of LB on the peptide profile and number of bioactive peptides. Shorter peptides are mostly formed by LB and hydrolyzed by ST.

A synthetic community promotes macadamia growth via root‐microbe interactions and systemic plant responses

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
We employed an 18‐month pot experiment and an integrated multi‐omics approach to elucidate the potential mechanisms underlying synthetic community (SynCom)‐mediated macadamia growth promotion. SynCom inoculation enhanced soil nitrogen cycling and potential nutrient (e.g., iron) acquisition.

Binuclear Copper‐Dependent Oxidative Enzymes Involved in Fungal Natural Product Modifications

Journal of the Chinese Chemical Society, EarlyView.
This article summarizes recent biochemical characterizations of a new enzyme family named by the authors as binuclear copper‐dependent oxidative enzymes (BiNCOs). Found in fungal natural product biosynthesis, BiNCOs catalyze diverse CH functionalization reactions, including C(sp3)H halogenation, C(sp3)H hydroxylation, C(sp3)O macrocyclization, and ...
