Purification and partial characterization of Phaseolus vulgaris seed aminopeptidase

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1999
The aminopeptidase activity of Phaseolus vulgaris seeds was measured using L-Leu-p-nitroanilide and the L-aminoacyl-ß-naphthylamides of Leu, Ala, Arg and Met.

Potential Activities and Long Lifetimes of Organic Carbon-Degrading Extracellular Enzymes in Deep Subsurface Sediments of the Baltic Sea

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Heterotrophic microorganisms in marine sediments produce extracellular enzymes to hydrolyze organic macromolecules, so their products can be transported inside the cell and used for energy and growth. Therefore, extracellular enzymes may mediate the fate

Molecular characterization of a puromycin‐insensitive leucyl‐specific aminopeptidase, PILS‐AP [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Biochemistry, 2000
The family M1 of Zn‐dependent aminopeptidases comprises members of closely related enzymes which are known to be involved in a variety of physiologically important processes. On the basis of two highly conserved peptide motifs, we have identified a new member of this family by PCR amplification and cDNA‐library screening.

Potential Activities of Freshwater Exo- and Endo-Acting Extracellular Peptidases in East Tennessee and the Pocono Mountains

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Proteins constitute a particularly bioavailable subset of organic carbon and nitrogen in aquatic environments but must be hydrolyzed by extracellular enzymes prior to being metabolized by microorganisms.

Study on endogenous protease and protein degradation of dry-salted Decapterus maruadsi

open access: yesCyTA - Journal of Food, 2018
Extensive proteolysis and formation of flavor substances occur during the processing of dry-salted fish due to the action of endogenous proteases. This study analyzed the evolution of the endogenous proteases and the relationship between endogenous ...

Expression of Oxytocin/Neurophysin I and Oxytocinase in the Equine Conceptus from Day 8 to Day 21 Post-Ovulation

open access: yesAnimals, 2022
Leucyl and cystinyl aminopeptidase (LNPEP/oxytocinase) is an enzyme that metabolizes oxytocin in serum and tissues. The presence of oxytocin/neurophysin I (OXT), oxytocin and LNPEP and their relationship to other genes is unknown in the equine conceptus.

The Zymovars of Vibrio cholerae: Multilocus Enzyme Electrophoresis of Vibrio cholerae

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2002
Zymovars analysis also known as multilocus enzyme electrophoresis is applied here to investigate the genetic variation of Vibrio cholerae strains and characterise strains or group of strains of medical and epidemiological interest.

Cloning and Characterization of a Leucyl Aminopeptidase from Three Pathogenic Leishmania Species [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2002
Aminopeptidases are emerging as exciting novel drug targets and vaccine candidates in parasitic infections. In this study, we describe for the first time an aminopeptidase from three highly pathogenic Leishmania species. Intronless genes encoding a leucyl aminopeptidase (lap) were cloned from Leishmania amazonensis, Leishmania donovani, and Leishmania ...

Antioxidants, lysosomes and elements status during the life cycle of sea trout Salmo trutta m. trutta L.

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
The aim of our study was to elucidate the effects of both development stages (parr, smolt, adult, spawner), and kelt as a survival form and sex (male, female) on the functional stability of the lysosomal complex, biomarkers of oxidative stress, and ...
