Release of peptide hydrolases during incubation of intact intestinal segments in vitro.
1. Rat intestinal segments have been incubated in isotonic saline in vitro and release of peptide hydrolase enzymes into the incubation media examined over a 90 min study period. 2.

Bacterial cells are encased in a peptidoglycan (PG) exoskeleton that protects them from osmotic lysis and specifies their distinct shapes. Cell wall hydrolases are required to enlarge this covalently closed macromolecule during growth, but how these ...

The effects of variation in dietary protein content on small intestinal brush border and cytosol peptide hydrolase activities have been investigated. One group of rats was fed a high protein diet (55% casein) and another group was fed a low protein diet (

Est10: A Novel Alkaline Esterase Isolated from Bovine Rumen Belonging to the New Family XV of Lipolytic Enzymes. [PDF]
A metagenomic fosmid library from bovine rumen was used to identify clones with lipolytic activity. One positive clone was isolated. The gene responsible for the observed phenotype was identified by in vitro transposon mutagenesis and sequencing and was ...

Intracellular Localization of Peptide Hydrolases in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Leaves.
Protoplasts from 8- to 9-day-old wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) leaves were used to isolate organelles which were examined for their contents of peptide hydrolase enzymes and, in the case of vacuoles, other acid hydrolases.

Structural Analyses on the Deamidation of N-Terminal Asn in the Human N-Degron Pathway
The N-degron pathway is a proteolytic system in which a single N-terminal amino acid acts as a determinant of protein degradation. Especially, degradation signaling of N-terminal asparagine (Nt-Asn) in eukaryotes is initiated from its deamidation by N ...
