Esculentin 1-21: a linear antimicrobial peptide from frog skin with inhibitory effect on bovine mastitis-causing bacteria

, 2009
Mastitis, or inflammation of the mammary gland, is the most common and expensive illness of dairy cows throughout the world. Although stress and physical injuries may give rise to inflammation of the udders, infections by bacteria or other microorganisms

Early Retinal UCHL1 Dysregulation Coupled With Synaptic Loss Reflects Alzheimer's Disease Severity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies synapse‐enriched deubiquitinase UCHL1 as an early Aβ‐responsive regulator of retinal synaptopathy in Alzheimer's disease. Retinal UCHL1 loss accompanies excitatory synapse degeneration, p75NTR activation, and neuroinflammation, and predicts Braak stage and cognitive decline. Aβ42 fibrils trigger synaptic and UCHL1 depletion before

Studies on the specificity of acetylaminoacylpeptide hydrolase [PDF]

Protein Science, 1994
AbstractIn a continuing attempt to explore the types of specificity determinants that may affect protein‐protein (peptide) interactions, a number of short (2‐5 residues) acetylated peptides have been compared as substrates for the enzyme acetylaminoacyl‐peptide hydrolase (EC 3.4.19.1).

Intestinal surface peptide hydrolases: identification and characterization of three enzymes from rat brush border.

, 1975
Peptide hydrolases were solubilized from rat small intestinal brush border by papain and separated by Sephadex G-200 chromatography, velocity gradient ultracentrifugation and polyacrylamide disc electrophoresis and designated according to approximate ...

Gut Microbial Release of Ferulic Acid From Germinated Quinoa Alleviates Obesity‐Associated Cognitive Impairment by Activating Hippocampal Mitophagy Associated with PINK1/Parkin Pathway

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Liberation of ferulic acid by gut microbial feruloyl esterase mediates cognitive enhancement of germinated quinoa (GQF) on obese mice. Ferulic acid enriched in GQF is released by gut microbes Roseburia hominis and R. intestinalis and subsequently mediates the neuroprotective effects of GQF on obesity‐induced cognitive decline by activating hippocampal ...

Peptide-based immunotherapy of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis without anaphylaxis [PDF]

, 2007
Administration of peptide antigens in tolerogenic form holds promise as a specific treatment for autoimmune and allergic disorders. However, experiments in rodent autoimmune models have highlighted the risk of anaphylaxis in response to systemic peptide ...

TED1 Promotes the Assembly of SCFD3‐D14‐D53 to Reinforce Strigolactone Signaling in Rice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies TED1 as a positive regulator of strigolactones (SL) signaling in rice. The ted1 mutants display dwarfism and increased tillering with significantly reduced SLs sensitivity. Through its longer C‐terminal region, TED1 interacts with D53 and D14 to promote the assembly of SCFD3‐D14‐D53, thereby facilitating the efficient ...

Isolation and Characterisation of Peptide Hydrolases from the Maize Root [PDF]

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1979
The maize root has two main proteinase and carboxypeptidase components. Proteinase I and carboxypeptidase I, which predominate in older plants, appear to have a serine group at their active sites and have been estimated to have molecular weights of approximately 54000 and 77000 respectively.

Programming Gut Microbiome Function Through Cross‐Feeding: From Ecological Mechanisms to Live Biotherapeutics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract presents gut microbial cross‐feeding through a Mechanism–Technology–Application framework. It summarizes major resource‐transfer modes, the experimental and computational tools used to establish causality, and potential interventions involving dietary substrates, live biotherapeutic products, and engineered microbes.
