Mice, double deficient in lysosomal serine carboxypeptidases Scpep1 and Cathepsin A develop the hyperproliferative vesicular corneal dystrophy and hypertrophic skin thickenings. [PDF]
Vasoactive and mitogenic peptide, endothelin-1 (ET-1) plays an important role in physiology of the ocular tissues by regulating the growth of corneal epithelial cells and maintaining the hemodynamics of intraocular fluids.

Modulation of Peptidoglycan Synthesis by Recycled Cell Wall Tetrapeptides
Summary: The bacterial cell wall is made of peptidoglycan (PG), a polymer that is essential for the maintenance of cell shape and survival. During growth, bacteria remodel their PG, releasing fragments that are predominantly re-internalized and recycled.

The effects of daptomycin on cell wall biosynthesis in Enterococcal faecalis
Daptomycin is a cyclic lipodepsipeptide antibiotic reserved for the treatment of serious infections by multidrug-resistant Gram-positive pathogens. Its mode of action is considered to be multifaceted, encompassing the targeting and depolarization of ...

The new effector AbSCP1 of foliar nematode (Aphelenchoides besseyi) is required for parasitism rice
Plant parasitic nematodes secrete effector proteins to parasitize hosts successfully. Of these proteins, serine carboxypeptidases have critical roles in pathogenicity.

[51] Exocellular dd-carboxypeptidases-transpeptidases from Streptomyces [PDF]
peer reviewedStrains R39 and R61 are soil isolates. Their designations are arbitrary. In strain R39, the cross-link between the peptide units of the wall peptidoglycan extends from the C-terminal D-alanine of one unit to the amino group at the D-center ...
