Plasticity in the Oxidative Folding Pathway of the High Affinity Nerita Versicolor Carboxypeptidase Inhibitor (NvCI)

Scientific Reports, 2017
Nerita Versicolor carboxypeptidase inhibitor (NvCI) is the strongest inhibitor reported so far for the M14A subfamily of carboxypeptidases. It comprises 53 residues and a protein fold composed of a two-stranded antiparallel β sheet connected by three ...

Structural and functional characterisation of LdcB LD-carboxypeptidases from Streptococcus pneumoniae and Bacillus subtilis [PDF]

, 2015
PhD ThesisThe bacterial cell wall surrounds the cytoplasmic membrane and protects the cell against osmolysis in addition to providing shape. The cell wall is comprised of peptidoglycan, repeating units of N-acetly glucosamine and N-acetyl muramic acid

Cereal carboxypeptidases : occurrence, properties and possible functions

In cereal grains the bulk of reserve proteins is localized in the non-living storage tissue, the starchy endosperm. In this work, it was found that the starchy endosperm of barley grain contained high activities of serine carboxypeptidases (EC 3.4.16 ...

Functional genome analysis reveals that serine carboxypeptidase Bd-SCP10 mediates vegetative growth, pathogenicity, and stress tolerance in Botryosphaeria dothidea

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionBotryosphaeria dothidea (B. dothidea) is a catastrophic fungal pathogen that threatens fruit production worldwide. Secreted peptidases like serine carboxypeptidases (SCPs) are well known to be involved in fungal virulence, but their role in B.

Proteome-derived peptide libraries to study the substrate specificity profiles of carboxypeptidases

, 2013
Through processing peptide and protein C termini, carboxypeptidases participate in the regulation of various biological processes. Few tools are however available to study the substrate specificity profiles of these enzymes.

Phytochelatins are synthesized by two vacuolar serine carboxypeptidases in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]

, 2007
Phytochelatins (PCs) are cysteine-rich peptides that chelate heavy metal ions, thereby mediating heavy metal tolerance in plants, fission yeast, and Caenorhabditis elegans.

Digestive proteolytic activity in Apodiphus amygdali Germar (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae): effect of endogenous inhibitors

Journal of Entomological and Acarological Research, 2014
The digestive proteolytic profile of Apodiphus amygdali was determined by using several substrates and specific inhibitors. Analysis of optimal pH and temperature showed the highest enzymatic activity at the pH range of 6-7 and temperature of 40°C when ...

Proteases Shape the Chlamydomonas Secretome: Comparison to Classical Neuropeptide Processing Machinery

Proteomes, 2018
The recent identification of catalytically active peptidylglycine α-amidating monooxygenase (PAM) in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a unicellular green alga, suggested the presence of a PAM-like gene and peptidergic signaling in the last eukaryotic ...
