Biochemical and Immunological Properties of a Membrane-Bound Brain Metalloendopeptidase: Comparison with Thermolysin-Like Kidney Neutral Metalloendopeptidase

Journal of Neurochemistry, 1984
Abstract: Membrane‐bound neutral metalloendopeptidase (“enkephalinase”) was purified from rabbit brain and compared with a homogeneous preparation of a similar enzyme (EC 3.4.24.11) isolated from rabbit kidney. The two enzymes had the same pH optimum and the same apparent molecular weight.

Structure modeling of a metalloendopeptidase from Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis

Computers in Biology and Medicine, 2012
Metalloendopeptidases are zinc-dependent hydrolases enzymes with many different roles in biological systems, ranging from remodeling conjunctive tissue to removing signaling sequences from nascent proteins. Here, we describe the three-dimensional structure of the metalloendopeptidase from Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis generated by homology ...

ADAM10, myelin-associated metalloendopeptidase

2004
The subject of this chapter is ADAM10, myelin-associated metalloendopeptidase. ADAM10 is a zinc-dependent metallo-endopeptidase with a C-terminal distintegrin domain. It is a homolog of adamalysin. As an α-secretase, it is protective against Alzheimer’s disease, cleaving the Aβ protein so that the damaging β-secretase cleavage is reduced.

Inhibition of metalloendopeptidases by 2‐mercaptoacetyl‐dipeptides

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1983
A series of 2‐mercaptoacetyl‐dipeptides, a potential group of metalloendopeptidase inhibitors, has been synthesized by coupling the N‐hydroxysuccinimide ester of S‐acetyl‐2‐mercaptoacetic acid with hydrophobic dipeptide methyl ester hydrochlorides, followed by hydrolysis with NaOH in aqueous methanol and acidification with HCl.

New metalloendopeptidase of Morganella morganii ZM

Russian Journal of Bioorganic Chemistry, 2014
Proteolytic activity which is inhibited in the presence of o-phenanthroline was found in M. morganii ZM. Intracellular proteases of M. morganii ZM unlimited split musculoskeletal actin in contrast to grimelysin. Several proteolitic proteins of M. morganii ZM cells were identified by zymography with gelatin. Metalloproteinase of M.

Biological markers in pneumoconioses : plasma metalloendopeptidase and matrix metalloendopeptidase

1991
The design and validation ofbiomarkers can contribute significantly to early detection of biological effects and identification ofthose who are at risk ofcoal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP). This research is designed to evaluate diflerent plasma metalloendopeptidase and metalloproteinase activities to estimate harmfui exposure in coalminers from ...

Membrane Metalloendopeptidases in Immune Function and Disease

1997
The enzymes that compose the ‘Metallopeptidases’ are a diverse group1. Forty-seven distinct evolutionary families of metallopeptidases have been identified in the last eight years; more than for any other protease classes, i.e., the serine/threonine, cysteine, or aspartic classes of proteases (see the Peptidase World Wide Web sites:http://www.qmw.ac.uk/

Degradation of bradykinin by a metalloendopeptidase from Streptococcus pyogenes

Journal of Oral Biosciences, 2016
Streptococcus pyogenes secretes streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxin B (SpeB), which cleaves kininogen to liberate bradykinin. In addition, this bacterium also has cell-associated bradykinin-degrading activity. Here, we characterized the bradykinin-degrading enzyme produced by S.
