Contribution of UbrA, a ubiquitin ligase essential for Arg/N-degron pathway, to peptidase gene expression in Aspergillus oryzae [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
The degradation of intracellular proteins by N-degron pathways depends on their N-terminal amino acids. In budding yeast, the Arg/N-degron pathway controls the expression of dipeptide/tripeptide transporter gene by degrading a transcriptional repressor ...

Measuring the Carboxypeptidase and γ-Glutamyltranspeptidase Activities of Lager and Ale Yeasts to Assess Their Impact on the Release of Odorant Polyfunctional Thiols Through Fermentation [PDF]

Molecules
Two enzymatic assays, based on release of p-nitroaniline and its spectrophotometric detection at 405 nm, were used to screen lager and ale brewing yeasts for carboxypeptidase and γ-glutamyltranspeptidase activity.

Inhibition of carboxypeptidase b1 from Anopheles stephensi by the potato carboxypeptidase inhibitor: a foundational step toward paratransgenesis-based malaria control [PDF]

Malaria Journal
Vector-borne diseases such as malaria are a threat to global public health and the economy. These diseases were proposed to be managed and controlled by new preventive strategies such as paratransgenesis. This is an innovative technique that makes use of

Horizontal-Acquisition of a Promiscuous Peptidoglycan-Recycling Enzyme Enables Aphids To Influence Symbiont Cell Wall Metabolism

mBio, 2021
During evolution, enzymes can undergo shifts in preferred substrates or in catalytic activities. An intriguing question is how enzyme function changes following horizontal gene transfer, especially for bacterial genes that have moved to animal genomes ...

Effect of dietary protein and lipid levels on growth performances and digestive enzymes activities in grouper (Epinephelus coioides) [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences, 2023
This study investigates the effect of dietary protein and lipid levels on growth and digestive enzymes activities in grouper (Epinephelus coioides). Furthermore, grouper juveniles (8.63±0.47 g) were separated into ten groups and cultivated in a 100-L ...

Acinetobacter baumannii Can Survive with an Outer Membrane Lacking Lipooligosaccharide Due to Structural Support from Elongasome Peptidoglycan Synthesis

mBio, 2021
Gram-negative bacteria resist external stresses due to cell envelope rigidity, which is provided by two membranes and a peptidoglycan layer. The outer membrane (OM) surface contains lipopolysaccharide (LPS; contains O-antigen) or lipooligosaccharide (LOS)
