Presence and expression of hydrogenase specific C-terminal endopeptidases in cyanobacteria [PDF]
BMC Microbiology, 2003 Background Hydrogenases catalyze the simplest of all chemical reactions: the reduction of protons to molecular hydrogen or vice versa. Cyanobacteria can express an uptake, a bidirectional or both NiFe-hydrogenases.

Characterization of endopeptidases from the midgut of Morimus funereus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) larvae [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2008 Application of specific chromogenic substrates, use of class-specific inhibitors, and zymogram analysis enabled us to identify several peptidase classes in extracts of the midgut of Morimus funereus larvae.

Molecular basis for the production of cyclic peptides by plant asparaginyl endopeptidases [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 Asparaginyl endopeptidases (AEPs) are plant proteases that can also function as ligases, catalyzing the production of cyclic plant peptides. Here, the authors identify structural features that govern AEP ligase activity, providing insights to aid the ...

Asparaginyl endopeptidases: enzymology, applications and limitations [PDF]
, 2021 Asparaginyl endopeptidases (AEP) are cysteine proteases found in mammalian and plant cells. Several AEP isoforms from plant species were found to exhibit transpeptidase activity which is integral for the key head-to-tail cyclisation reaction during the ...

Cell Wall Endopeptidases in Pseudomonas Aeruginosa
, 2020 The bacterial cell wall is essential for viability, and thus represents an attractive target for antibiotic therapy. Although beta-lactams and certain other antibiotics target enzymes involved in cell wall synthesis, pathogens are rapidly becoming ...

Ruminal Proteolysis in Forages with Distinct Endopeptidases Activities [PDF]
, 2023 Improving livestock efficiency in utilisation of nitrogen resources continues to be a major environmental and economic objective. Zhu et al. (1999) have shown that plant endopeptidases are activated as a response to cutting stress.

Matrix metalloproteinases: A double edge sword
Dentistry and Medical Research, 2016 Dental caries is a dynamic process which results in demineralization of inorganic constituents and destruction of organic structure of the tooth. The basic mechanism of inorganic demineralization has been studied and documented well enough.

Two novel IgG endopeptidases of Streptococcus equi
, 2009 Streptococcus equi ssp. equi causes strangles, a highly contagious and serious disease in the upper respiratory tract of horses. Streptococcus equi ssp. zooepidemicus, another subspecies of this genus, is regarded as an opportunistic commensal in horses.
