Current Research in Microbial Sciences, 2021 Pro-Pro-endopeptidases (PPEP, EC 3.4.24.89) are secreted, zinc metalloproteases that have the unusual capacity to cleave a peptide bond between two prolines, a bond that is generally less sensitive to proteolytic cleavage. Two well studied members of the

A unique signature identifies a family of zinc-dependent metallopeptidases
, 1989 The primary sequence motif HExxH has been found in many zinc-dependent endopeptidases. We show that a larger signature comprising this sequence is common to most of the known zinc-dependent endopeptidases, and that the presence of the signature can be ...

PLoS ONE, 2021 Pseudomonas aeruginosa secretes several endopeptidases, including elastase, alkaline proteinase (Apr), a lysine-specific endopeptidase (LysC), and an aminopeptidase (PaAP), all of which are important virulence factors.

Specificity of prolyl endopeptidase [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1986 A series of tetrapeptides, Cbz(Bz)‐Gly‐X‐Leu‐Gly, were synthesized and the kinetic parameters, k cat and , determined for their hydrolyses by prolyl endopeptidase from Flavobacterium. The peptides with X = N‐Me‐Ala, Sar and Ala as well as the standard substrate (X = Pro) were found to be good substrates, while those with X = α‐aminobutyryl, Hyp, Ser ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Peptidoglycan (PG) is an essential lattice of the bacterial cell wall that needs to be continuously remodeled to allow growth. This task is ensured by the concerted action of PG synthases that insert new material in the pre-existing structure and PG ...

Biokatalysatoren für die Geranylierung von Peptiden mit Linearen und Zyklischen Prenylgruppen
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.A combination of genome mining, synthetic biology, and biocatalytic assays revealed enzymes that install linear and cyclized prenyl moieties on ribosomally or chemically synthesized peptides. The promiscuity of both enzymes, while being specific for modification of C‐terminal tryptophans, enables enzymatic access to peptide terpenoid hybrids ...

Current and emerging therapy for celiac disease
Frontiers in Medicine, 2014 At present, strict and lifelong gluten free diet is the only effective treatment for celiac disease. Even small amounts of gluten (50mg/day) can be immunogenic; therefore all food and food items and drugs that contain gluten and its derivatives must be ...

Getting to grips with strangles: an effective multi-component recombinant vaccine for the protection of horses from Streptococcus equi infection. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2009 Streptococcus equi subspecies equi (S. equi) is a clonal, equine host-adapted pathogen of global importance that causes a suppurative lymphodendopathy of the head and neck, more commonly known as Strangles.

Endopeptidases and prohormone processing
Bioscience Reports, 1990 Peptide hormones and peptide transmitters are generated from polypeptide precursors by specific cleavage reactions which take place principally at sites formed by single or paired basic residues. Not all the possible cleavage sites are utilised, however, and the degree of processing of many propeptides has been found to vary according to the tissue of ...

Pathogens, 2013 Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) represent a large family of over twenty different secreted or membrane-bound endopeptidases, involved in many physiological (embryogenesis, precursor or stem cell mobilization, tissue remodeling during wound healing, etc.)
