Many proteins undergo important post-translational proteolytic processing to remove targeting signals and activation peptides, and most proteins undergo proteolytic inactivation and catabolism.

Bioactive Peptides in Meat and Meat Products
A number of bioactive peptides with health benefits have been reported to be generated in meat through the proteolysis phenomena taking place during postmortem aging or further processing. Bioactive peptides consist of short sequences, less than 20 amino

Mitochondrial protein import [PDF]
Transport of nuclear-encoded precursor proteins into mitochondria includes proteolytic cleavage of aminoterminal targeting sequences in the mitochondrial matrix. We have isolated the processing activity from Neurospora crassa.

In this work, we report a simple electrochemical sensor that detects proteinuria upon immersion into a sample. We immobilized peptidases in conjunction with glutamate oxidase (GluOx) on a Prussian blue-modified glassy carbon (PB-GC) electrode.

Although the S8 family in the MEROPS database contains many peptidases, only a few S8 peptidases have been applied in the preparation of bioactive oligopeptides.

The distribution of all peptidase homologues across all phyla of organisms was analysed to determine within which kingdom each of the 271 families originated. No family was found to be ubiquitous and even peptidases thought to be essential for life, such as signal peptidase and methionyl aminopeptides are missing from some clades.

The study of a new and specific proline cleaving peptidase from bovine serum [PDF]
Prolyl oligopeptidase is a serine peptidase characterised by oligoendopeptidase activity. Definitive evidence for the discrete biological role of prolyl oligopeptidase remains unknown, though its role in the maturation and degradation of peptide hormones

In this study, it was aimed to optimise the extracellular peptidase production of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens FE-K1, previously isolated from ropy wholemeal bread, by using response surface methodology (RSM) based on central composite design (CCD).

Mechanisms of HIV Protein Degradation into Epitopes: Implications for Vaccine Design
The degradation of HIV-derived proteins into epitopes displayed by MHC-I or MHC-II are the first events leading to the priming of HIV-specific immune responses and to the recognition of infected cells.

Evolution and Role of Proteases in Campylobacter jejuni Lifestyle and Pathogenesis
Infection with the main human food-borne pathogen Campylobacter jejuni causes campylobacteriosis that accounts for a substantial percentage of gastrointestinal infections. The disease usually manifests as diarrhea that lasts for up to two weeks.
