The Concise Guide to PHARMACOLOGY 2025/26: Enzymes
The Concise Guide to Pharmacology 2025/26 marks the seventh edition in this series of biennial publications in the British Journal of Pharmacology. Presented in landscape format, the guide provides a comparative overview of the pharmacology of drug target families. The concise nature of the Concise Guide refers to the style of presentation, being clear,

Prolyl oligopeptidase is inhibited in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis [PDF]
Abstract Background Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex, inflammatory and neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system leading to long-term disability. Recent studies indicate a close association between inflammation and neurodegeneration in all lesions and disease stages of MS. Prolyl oligopeptidase (POP)

The Ndel1 protein is crucial for neurodevelopment, but its role in the brain peptidome is unknown. Here we compared the peptidome of Ndel1 conditional knockout (Ndel1_cKO) mice with controls (CTRL) in four brain regions. Peptides were extracted using acidic (Acetic Acid, AcOH) and organic (Methanol, MeOH) methods and analyzed by Liquid Chromatography ...

Abstract Acylpeptide hydrolase (APEH) or acylaminoacyl‐peptidase (AAP) is a serine hydrolase that regulates protein metabolism. It can also bind to and process unusual substrates, acting as a detoxifier. To better understand its promiscuous specificity, we determined the cryo‐EM structures of mammalian APEH complexed with classical serine protease ...

Targeted Covalent Inhibition of Prolyl Oligopeptidase (POP): Discovery of Sulfonylfluoride Peptidomimetics [PDF]
Prolyl oligopeptidase (POP), a serine protease highly expressed in the brain, has recently emerged as an enticing therapeutic target for the treatment of cognitive and neurodegenerative disorders. However, most reported inhibitors suffer from short duration of action, poor protease selectivity, and low blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability, which ...

Abstract Stem rot, caused by Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc., is a devastating soil‐borne disease causing up to 80% yield losses in groundnut globally. To dissect the genetic basis of resistance, we evaluated a diverse minicore germplasm panel over 3 years in stem rot sick‐field conditions.

Twenty years of therapeutic development in tauopathy mouse models: a scoping review
Abstract Tauopathies are neurodegenerative diseases characterized by pathological tau protein inclusions and dementia. Tauopathy mouse models with MAPT mutations replicate tau‐related pathologies and are widely used for therapeutic research. This scoping review examines 409 treatment evaluations in MAPT mouse models.

Properties of the prolyl oligopeptidase homologue from Pyrococcus furiosus [PDF]
Prolyl oligopeptidase (POP), the paradigm of a serine peptidase family, hydrolyses peptides, but not proteins. The thermophilic POP from Pyrococcus furiosus (Pfu) appeared to be an exception, since it hydrolysed large proteins. Here we demonstrate that the Pfu POP does not display appreciable activity against azocasein.

Designing Enzymatic Reactivity with an Expanded Palette
Innovation in biocatalysis is rapidly increasingly the diversity of catalytic reactivity that can be mediated by enzymes, addressing a key bottleneck for their widespread adoption in industrial chemical synthesis. A key approach to this is building enzymes with unnatural catalytic components that provide an expanded palette with new possibilities for ...
