The Peptide Hydrolase System of the Leuconostoc
The intracellular peptide hydrolase activities of Leuconostoc species were determined using various aminopeptidase, dipeptidase, carboxypeptidase substrates, and casein. The activities were separated by disc gel electrophoresis. All strains had aminopeptidase activity as determined with amino acid ß-napthylamides and dipeptidase.

Protease inhibitor concentrations in the saliva of individuals experiencing oral dryness
Background Oral dryness is a common symptom that may interfere with swallowing, chewing, and taste. The most common reason for oral dryness is hyposalivation. Some individuals experiencing oral dryness do not have hyposalivation, however, and the reverse

The peptide hydrolase system of Lactobacillus reuteri
Peptide hydrolase system of Lactobacillus reuteri CRL 1098, a lactic acid bacteria of sourdough origin, was investigated. This microorganism has a broad range of peptidases consisting of an active aminopeptidase, X-Prolyl-dipeptidylaminopeptidase, dipeptidase and tripeptidase.

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 ...

Peptide signaling for drought-induced tomato flower drop [PDF]
The premature abscission of flowers and fruits limits crop yield under environmental stress. Drought-induced flower drop in tomato plants was found to be regulated by phytosulfokine (PSK), a peptide hormone previously known for its growth-promoting and ...
