Faecal proteinases of the fungus-growing ant, Atta texana: Properties, significance and possible origin [PDF]

, 1975
The proteolytic activity previously reported in the faecal fluid of fungus-growing ants is due to the presence of three enzymes. These enzymes have been partially purified and characterized.

Safety evaluation of an extension of use of a food enzyme containing bacillolysin and subtilisin activities from the non‐genetically modified Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain AR‐383

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The food enzyme with two declared activities, bacillolysin (EC 3.4.24.28) and subtilisin (EC 3.4.21.62) is produced with the non‐genetically modified Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain AR‐383 by AB Enzymes GmbH. The safety of this food enzyme was evaluated previously and it did not give rise to safety concerns when used in nine food ...

The Genetic Basis of Color Polymorphism in the Orb‐Web Spider Gasteracantha cancriformis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study investigates the genetic basis of coloration in the polymorphic spider Gasteracantha cancriformis using RNA‐seq data from different female color morphs. We assembled a reference transcriptome and identified differentially expressed genes associated with known pigmentation pathways, including carotenoids, melanin, ommochromes, and pteridines.

Honokiol and Magnolol Exert an Anti‐Inflammatory Effect by Inhibiting JAK2/STAT3/IL17 Signalling in a Rat Model of Ulcerative Colitis: A Combination of Bioinformatics and Experimental Study

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 30, Issue 6, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic, inflammatory bowel disease with limited clinical treatment. Traditional Chinese medicinal ingredients honokiol and magnolol have potential anti‐inflammatory and gastrointestinal protective effects. However, their anti‐inflammatory potential has not been investigated in UC.

ROC plots evaluating the performance of DeepDrug3D against the peptidase dataset.

, 2019
The performance is assessed individually for five groups of enzymes, serine endopeptidases (EC 3.4.21), cysteine endopeptidases (EC 3.4.22), aspartic endopeptidases (EC 3.4.23), metalloendopeptidases (EC 3.4.24), and threonine endopeptidases (EC 3.4.25).

Investigation of neutral endopeptidases (EC 3.4.24.11) and of neutral proteinases (EC 3.4.24.4) using a new sensitive two-stage enzymatic reaction [PDF]

, 1989
A sensitive two-stage enzymatic reaction for mammalian and bacterial metalloendopeptidases has been developed using the substrate 3-carboxypropanoyl-alanyl-alanyl-leucine-4-nitroanilide supplemented with Streptomyces griseus amino-peptidase.

Primary Structure ofStreptomyces griseusMetalloendopeptidase II

Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 1998
Streptomyces griseus metalloendopeptidase II (SGMPII) is a unique protease, since it shows anomalous susceptibility to the proteinaceous "serine protease inhibitors" produced by Streptomyces, such as Streptomyces subtilisin inhibitor (SSI) and its homologous proteins.
