A continuous fluorescent assay for the determination of plasma and tissue angiotensin I-converting enzyme activity [PDF]

, 2005
A continuous assay using internally quenched fluorescent peptides with the general sequence Abz-peptidyl-(Dnp)P-OH (Abz = ortho-aminobenzoic acid; Dnp = 2,4-dinitrophenyl) was optimized for the measurement of angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) in ...

Biosynthesis of Kaitocephalin: A Neuroprotective Natural Product Featuring a Peptide‐Like yet Nonpeptidic Scaffold

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 13, 23 March 2026.
Kaitocephalin (KCP) is a neuroprotective fungal metabolite with a unique scaffold of amino acids linked via C–C bonds. Genome‐transcriptome analyses identified its biosynthetic gene cluster (kpb cluster) in Eupenicillium shearii. LC‐MS/MS profiling identified four new KCP‐related compounds.

What doesn't kill you makes you stranger: Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (CD26) proteolysis differentially modulates the activity of many peptide hormones and cytokines generating novel cryptic bioactive ligands [PDF]

, 2019
Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) is an exopeptidase found either on cell surfaces where it is highly regulated in terms of its expression and surface availability (CD26) or in a free/circulating soluble constitutively available and intrinsically active form.

ANK1 and EPB41 Variants and The Risk of Steroid‐Induced Osteonecrosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective Steroid‐induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SONFH) is a refractory skeletal disorder influenced by genetic and environmental factors. However, conclusive pathogenic genetic evidence remains elusive due to the limited exploration of rare damaging variants. In this study, we aimed to identify rare variants associated with SONFH.

IL‐33 Drives Inflammatory Changes and Extracellular Trap Formation in Eosinophils Involving Oxidised LDL and Complement Pathways

Allergy, EarlyView.
IL‐33 induces inflammatory gene signatures in eosinophils, characterised by the upregulation of cell surface markers, inflammatory mediators and regulatory factors, all of which were also observed in nasal polyp‐derived eosinophils. Ox‐LDL and complement fragments (C3a and C5a) promote eosinophil adhesion and survival.

Substrate specificity and structural investigation into PepO and PepW : two peptidases from Lactobacillus rhamnosus : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biochemistry at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2005
The proteolytic systems of lactic acid bacteria have important roles in the maturation and flavour development of cheese. Lactic acid bacteria pepetidases contribute to the taste of cheese through the production of low-molecular weight peptides and free ...

Inhibition of Fibroblast Activation Protein‐α Ameliorates Intervertebral Disc Degeneration via Reduced Vascular Invasion in Cartilage Endplate

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration showing that FAP‐α promoted angiogenesis, cytokine release and ECM degradation in the CEP degeneration of the intervertebral disc through upregulating the PI3K/Akt/HIF‐1α/VEGFA pathway. ABSTRACT Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a primary cause of low back pain, with the development of new blood vessels being a key ...
