Evolution and Role of Proteases in Campylobacter jejuni Lifestyle and Pathogenesis

Biomolecules, 2023
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.

Origins of peptidases

Biochimie, 2019
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.

Genome Wide Mapping of Peptidases in Rhodnius prolixus: Identification of Protease Gene Duplications, Horizontally Transferred Proteases and Analysis of Peptidase A1 Structures, with Considerations on Their Role in the Evolution of Hematophagy in Triatominae

Frontiers in Physiology, 2017
Triatominae is a subfamily of the order Hemiptera whose species are able to feed in the vertebrate blood (i.e., hematophagy). This feeding behavior presents a great physiological challenge to insects, especially in Hemipteran species with a digestion ...

Fusaoctaxin A, an Example of a Two-Step Mechanism for Non-Ribosomal Peptide Assembly and Maturation in Fungi

Toxins, 2019
Fungal non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) clusters are spread across the chromosomes, where several modifying enzyme-encoding genes typically flank one NRPS.

OPTIMIZATION OF PARAMETERS OF FERMENTOLYSIS OF PROTEINS IN THE COMPOSITION OF SERUM-PROTEIN CONCENTRATE

Harčova Nauka ì Tehnologìâ, 2018
The food industry is a strategic industry that works quite steadily even during periods of economic crises, providing food security to any state, and is a source of raw material for other industries with a high potential for development, for example, for

A Multi-season Investigation of Microbial Extracellular Enzyme Activities in Two Temperate Coastal North Carolina Rivers: Evidence of Spatial but Not Seasonal Patterns

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Riverine systems are important sites for the production, transport, and transformation of organic matter. Much of the organic matter processing is carried out by heterotrophic microbial communities, whose activities may be spatially and temporally ...

Molecular cloning and characterization of a novel peptidase from Trichinella spiralis and protective immunity elicited by the peptidase in BALB/c mice

Veterinary Research, 2020
In our previous studies, a novel T. spiralis peptidase (TsP) was identified among the excretory/secretory (ES) proteins of T. spiralis intestinal infective larvae (IIL) and T.

Unravelling HetC as a peptidase-based ABC exporter driving functional cell differentiation in the cyanobacterium Nostoc PCC 7120

Microbiology Spectrum
The export of peptides or proteins is essential for a variety of important functions in bacteria. Among the diverse protein-translocation systems, peptidase-containing ABC transporters (PCAT) are involved in the maturation and export of quorum-sensing or

Distributions of Extracellular Peptidases Across Prokaryotic Genomes Reflect Phylogeny and Habitat

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Proteinaceous compounds are abundant forms of organic nitrogen in soil and aquatic ecosystems, and the rate of protein depolymerization, which is accomplished by a diverse range of microbial secreted peptidases, often limits nitrogen turnover in the ...

Influence of PepF peptidase and sporulation on microcin J25 production in Bacillus subtilis

Microbiology Spectrum
The lasso peptide microcin J25 (MccJ25) possesses strong antibacterial properties and is considered a potential effective component of bacterial disease treatment drugs and safe food preservatives.
