Aminopeptidases of Germinated and Non-Germinated Barley

Food Technology and Biotechnology, 2009
In processes of barley plant development, various endo- and exopeptidases are involved. To determine the type and number of aminopeptidases that could participate in barley seed germination and tissue growth, their activities in extracts of non ...

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 ...

Land use overrides climatic controls on soil organic nitrogen transformations: Contrasting responsiveness between forest and cropland ecosystems

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 2128-2142, July 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Soil organic nitrogen (SON) transformation is critical for global nutrient cycling and ecosystem productivity, yet how its responsiveness to climate change differs across diverse land use types remains poorly resolved.

Proteolysis at the extracellular matrix interface: Molecular architects and regulators in health and disease

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 13, Page 3758-3787, July 2026.
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a dynamic scaffold that orchestrates tissue architecture and cellular communication. A critical but underexplored interplay between proteases and cluster of differentiation molecules (CD) governs ECM turnover and directs cell fate.

Proteolytic remodelling of the extracellular matrix by pericytes

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 13, Page 3899-3953, July 2026.
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 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.

Biochar and Sediment Amendments Alter Soil Nitrogen Mineralization: Microbial Biomass and Extracellular Enzyme Activity

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2026.
Co‐application of Mn‐modified biochar and fishpond sediment markedly improves soil pH, organic carbon, microbial biomass, and nitrogen mineralization, demonstrating a synergistic effect that enhances soil fertility, microbial activity, and nutrient cycling for sustainable agricultural management.

CHANGES IN LEVELS OF ACTIVITY OF SERINE PROTEASES ACCOMPANY THE EXPOSURE OF COMMON BEAN (PHASEOLUS VULGARIS L.) TO WATER DEFICIT [PDF]

Poljoprivreda, 2008
A wide variety of proteolytic enzymes exist in plants. On their levels depends protein turnover, a fundamental component in plant development and adaptation to environmental conditions. Cysteine proteases have frequently been reported to be influenced by

Tolerance to Phosphorus Deficiency Improves Seed Phytic Acid‐to‐Iron Molar Ratios in Common Bean

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 4152-4165, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Although significant advances have been achieved in the biofortification of common beans to overcome deficiencies in Zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe), the mechanisms involved remain poorly understood. We thus explored the relationships between phosphorus nutrition and Zn and Fe accumulation in four bean genotypes (Edar, Nizok, Colorado and Chimbolos ...

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 ...
