Spatial clustering and common regulatory elements correlate with coordinated gene expression [PDF]
Many cellular responses to surrounding cues require temporally concerted transcriptional regulation of multiple genes. In prokaryotic cells, a single-input-module motif with one transcription factor regulating multiple target genes can generate ...

Soluble Metalloendopeptidases and Neuroendocrine Signaling [PDF]
Peptidases play a vital and often highly specific role in the physiological and pathological generation and termination of peptide hormone signals. The thermolysin-like family of metalloendopeptidases involved in the extracellular processing of neuroendocrine and cardiovascular peptides are of particular significance, reflecting both their specificity ...

The stromal processing peptidase of chloroplasts is essential in Arabidopsis, with knockout mutations causing embryo arrest after the 16-cell stage. [PDF]
Stromal processing peptidase (SPP) is a metalloendopeptidase located in the stroma of chloroplasts, and it is responsible for the cleavage of transit peptides from preproteins upon their import into the organelle. Two independent mutant Arabidopsis lines

Post-translational processing targets functionally diverse proteins in Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae [PDF]
© 2016 The Authors. Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae is a genome-reduced, cell wall-less, bacterial pathogen with a predicted coding capacity of less than 700 proteins and is one of the smallest self-replicating pathogens. The cell surface of M. hyopneumoniae is

Families of metalloendopeptidases and their relationships [PDF]
Crystal structures available for four metalloendopeptidases have revealed zinc ligands for these enzymes. New sequence information has made it possible to compare the primary structures of the zinc‐binding site in metalloendopeptidases. A scheme based on the zinc‐binding site is proposed to classify metalloendopeptidases into five distinct families ...
