High expression of human carboxypeptidase M in Pichia pastoris: Purification and partial characterization [PDF]
Carboxypeptidase M (CPM) is an extracellular glycosylphosphatidyl-inositol-anchored membrane glycoprotein, which removes the C-terminal basic residues, lysine and arginine, from peptides and proteins at neutral pH.

Tryptase Regulates the Epigenetic Modification of Core Histones in Mast Cell Leukemia Cells
Mast cells are immune cells that store large amounts of mast cell-restricted proteases in their secretory granules, including tryptase, chymase and carboxypeptidase A3.

Endogenously generated plasmin at the vascular wall injury site amplifies lysine binding site-dependent plasminogen accumulation in microthrombi. [PDF]
The fibrinolytic system plays a pivotal role in the regulation of hemostasis; however, it remains unclear how and when the system is triggered to induce thrombolysis.

Arginine and lysine as products of basic carboxypeptidase activity associated with fibrinolysis [PDF]
Blood carboxypeptidases play an important role in the regulation of fibrinolysis. We have proposed here the method for the assay of blood carboxypeptidase activity associated with coagulation/fibrinolysis using the natural substrate fibrin and the detection of basic amino acids arginine and lysine as products in the conditions close to those in vivo ...

Improved chemical synthesis of hydrophobic Aβ peptides using addition of C‐terminal lysines later removed by carboxypeptidase B [PDF]
ABSTRACTMany amyloidogenic peptides are highly hydrophobic, introducing significant challenges to obtaining high quality peptides by chemical synthesis. For example, while good yield and purity can be obtained in the solid‐phase synthesis of the Alzheimer's plaque peptide Aβ40, addition of a C‐terminal Ile‐Ala sequence to generate the more toxic Aβ42 ...

Co-Catalytic Metallopeptidases as Pharmaceutical Targets [PDF]
Understanding the reaction mechanism of co-catalytic metallopeptidases provides a starting point for the design and synthesis of new molecules that can be screened as potential pharmaceuticals. Many of the enzymes that contain co-catalytic metallo-active
