Yeast Plasma Membrane Fungal Oligopeptide Transporters Display Distinct Substrate Preferences despite Their High Sequence Identity

Journal of Fungi (Basel, Switzerland), 2021
Fungal Oligopeptide Transporters (Fot) Fot1, Fot2 and Fot3 have been found in Saccharomyces cerevisiae wine strains, but not in strains from other environments. In the S. cerevisiae wine strain EC1118, Fot1 and Fot2 are responsible for a broader range of

Sepia Ink Oligopeptide Induces Apoptosis in Prostate Cancer Cell Lines via Caspase-3 Activation and Elevation of Bax/Bcl-2 Ratio

Marine Drugs, 2012
Sepia ink oligopeptide (SIO) is a tripeptide extracted from Sepia ink. To test the hypothesis that SIO inhibits prostate cancer by inducing apoptosis, the effects of SIO on the proliferation of three human prostate cancer cell lines were examined using a
