Subunit III of ruminant procarboxypeptidase A‐S6 complexes and pancreatic proteases E a new family of pancreatic serine endopeptidases?

FEBS Letters, 1988
Subunit III (BSIII) of the bovine ternary complex of procarboxypeptidase A‐S6 (PCPA‐S6), a defective serine endopeptidase‐like protein, actively synthesized by the pancreas of some ruminant species, is highly homologous to human protease E (HPE). Both proteins possess the same atypical disulfide bridge in position 98–99b.

Dysregulated Sheddase Signalling as a Molecular Driver of Plaque Instability Revealed by Integrative Transcriptomics

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 30, Issue 8, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Atherosclerosis is a major cause of mortality due to chronic and progressive low‐grade inflammation and fibroproliferative remodelling of the intima of arteries. Comprehensive understanding of the interplay between plaque biology and the mechanisms underlying plaque vulnerability and rupture is essential.

Stage-specific transcriptomic analysis reveals insights into the development, reproduction and biological function of allergens in the European house dust mite Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus

BMC Genomics
Background House dust mites (HDMs) such as Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus are major allergy elicitors worldwide, yet their gene expression across developmental stages remains underexplored.

Divergent Selection on Dispersal Targets Chemosensory and Neuronal Genes in Tribolium castaneum

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 8, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Dispersal is key to the life history, ecology and evolution of many organisms and important in pest invasiveness. However, the genetic architecture underlying variation in dispersal behaviour remains poorly understood outside of a few model species.

Impact of PAR2 on Tight Junctions and Esophageal Mucosal Inflammation in Rats with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, Volume 38, Issue 4, April 2026.
In GERD, elevated PAR2 expression impaired esophageal mucosal barrier function by downregulating and inducing the redistribution of Claudin‐1 and Claudin‐4, while promoting M1 macrophage‐mediated secretion of IL‐8 and IL‐1β. ABSTRACT Background Gastric content reflux activates protease‐activated receptor 2 (PAR2), which is a critical step in the ...

Genome and Single‐Cell Transcriptome Reveal the Evolution of Holoparasitic Plants: A Case Study of Cistanche deserticola

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2226-2240, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The Orobanchaceae family, the largest group of parasitic plants, spans a complete spectrum from autotrophic to holoparasitic species. As a typical endangered holoparasitic species within this family, Cistanche deserticola is a parasitic plant that is widely harvested for traditional medicine in desertic regions, and of growing importance as a ...

Plant subtilases as key initiators of peptide ligand‐receptor signaling

The Plant Journal, Volume 126, Issue 1, April 2026.
SUMMARY Peptide ligand‐receptor signaling plays a crucial role in regulating diverse biological processes in plants. Over the past three decades, numerous peptide ligands and their corresponding receptors have been identified, and our understanding of their downstream signaling pathways and biological functions has gradually advanced.

A study of aminopeptidases from lactic streptococci : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biochemistry at Massey University [PDF]

, 1989
Two arninopeptidase enzymes from the proteolytic system of Streptococcus lactis 4760 have been studied. An X-Prolyl dipeptidyl arninopeptidase has been purified and characterised.

Safety evaluation of a food enzyme containing leucyl aminopeptidase, oryzin and aspergillopepsin I from the non‐genetically modified Aspergillus sp. strain AE‐PR

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The food enzyme containing leucyl aminopeptidase (EC 3.4.11.1), oryzin (EC 3.4.21.63) and aspergillopepsin I (EC 3.4.23.18) activities is produced with the non‐genetically modified Aspergillus sp. strain AE‐PR by Amano Enzyme Inc. The food enzyme was considered free from viable cells of the production organism.
