Cysteine peptidases of mammals: their biological roles and potential effects in the oral cavity and other tissues in health and disease.

Only registered users can translate articles

Cysteine peptidases (CPs) are phylogenetically ubiquitous enzymes that can be classified into clans of evolutionarily independent proteins based on the structural organization of the active site. In mammals, two of the major clans represented in the genome are: the CA clan, whose members share a

Determination of the cleavage site of the presequence by mitochondrial processing peptidase on the substrate binding scaffold and the multiple subsites inside a molecular cavity.

Only registered users can translate articles

Mitochondrial processing peptidase (MPP) recognizes a large variety of basic presequences of mitochondrial preproteins and cleaves the single site, often including arginine, at the -2 position (P(2)). To elucidate the recognition and specific processing of the preproteins by MPP, we mutated to

Completely buried, non-ion-paired glutamic acid contributes favorably to the conformational stability of pyrrolidone carboxyl peptidases from hyperthermophiles.

Only registered users can translate articles

Pyrrolidone carboxyl peptidases (PCPs) from hyperthermophiles have a structurally conserved and completely buried Glu192 in the hydrophobic core; in contrast, the corresponding residue in the mesophile protein is a hydrophobic residue, Ile. Does the buried ionizable residue contribute to

Synthesis, evaluation and molecular docking of prolyl-fluoropyrrolidine derivatives as dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors.

Only registered users can translate articles

A series of prolyl-fluoropyrrolidine derivatives were designed, synthesized and screened for in vitro inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase IV. The SAR study revealed the influence of substituted chemical modifications on dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitory activity. Among all the compounds screened,

Tetrameric dipeptidyl peptidase I directs substrate specificity by use of the residual pro-part domain.

Only registered users can translate articles

The crystal structure of mature dipeptidyl peptidase I reveals insight into the unique tetrameric structure, substrate binding and activation of this atypical papain family peptidase. Each subunit is composed of three peptides. The heavy and light chains form the catalytic domain, which adopts the

Hydrolysis of leucine enkephalin in the nasal cavity of the rat--a possible factor in the low bioavailability of nasally administered peptides.

Only registered users can translate articles

In order to investigate the utility of intranasal administration of peptides for systemic medication, the nasal absorption of the model peptide, leucine enkephalin (Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Leu), was studied in the rat. At a concentration of 60 micrograms/ml in Ringer's buffer the pentapeptide was found to

Mastin is a gelatinolytic mast cell peptidase resembling a mini-proteasome.

Only registered users can translate articles

Mastin is a tryptic peptidase secreted by canine mast cells. This work reveals that mastin is composed of catalytic domain singlets and disulfide-linked dimers. Monomers unite non-covalently to form tryptase-like tetramers, whereas dimers aggregate with monomers into larger clusters stabilized by

Conjugate of palladium(II) complex and beta-cyclodextrin acts as a biomimetic peptidase.

Only registered users can translate articles

We combined the newly discovered ability of [Pd(H2O)4]2+ to residue-selectively hydrolyze X-Pro bonds in peptides at 6 peptidase. This new

Resolution of furcation bone loss after non-surgical root canal treatment: application of a peptidase-detection kit for treatment of type I endoperiodontal lesion.

Only registered users can translate articles

Here, we report the management of a type I endoperiodontal lesion with furcation bone loss. A 59-year-old female attended our hospital with the chief complaint of mobility of tooth 46 and recurrent gingival swelling around the tooth. She previously received dental treatment from two dentists, but

Co-localization of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 in the respiratory tract and lymphoid tissues of pigs and llamas.

Only registered users can translate articles

This study investigated the co-localization of the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and its receptor dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) by immunohistochemistry (IHC) across respiratory and lymphoid organs of experimentally MERS-CoV infected pigs and llamas. Also, scanning electron

Identification of a Novel Scaffold for Inhibition of Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4.

Only registered users can translate articles

Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) is considered a major drug target for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In addition to T2DM, a regulatory role of DPP-4 was also found in cardiovascular diseases. Existing DPP-4 inhibitors have been reported to have several adverse effects. In this study, a

Kinetics of dipeptidyl peptidase IV proteolysis of growth hormone-releasing factor and analogs.

Only registered users can translate articles

The kinetics and selectivity of proteolysis of synthetic human growth hormone-releasing factor and analogs by purified human placental dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV) were studied by HPLC. The initial rates of Ala2-Asp3 cleavage (pH 7.8, 37 degrees C, So = 0.15 mM) were all approx. 5 mumol min-1

Genome mining for peptidases in heat-tolerant and mesophilic fungi and putative adaptations for thermostability.

Only registered users can translate articles

Peptidases (EC 3.4) consist of a large group of hydrolytic enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of proteins accounting for approximately 65% of the total worldwide enzyme production. Peptidases from thermophilic fungi have adaptations to high temperature that makes them adequate for biotechnological

Ketamine and N-acetylaspartylglutamate peptidase inhibitor exert analgesia in bone cancer pain.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Not all bone cancer pain can be effectively treated with current therapies. In the present study, the effects of ip administration of alpha-2 agonists (dexmedetomidine and clonidine), N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonists (MK-801 and ketamine), an N-acetylaspartylglutamate peptidase

Peptidases from latex of Carica candamarcensis upregulate COX-2 and IL-1 mRNA transcripts against Salmonella enterica ser. Typhimurium-mediated inflammation.

Only registered users can translate articles

The immunomodulatory properties of a mixture of cysteine peptidases (P1G10) obtained from the fruit lattice of Carica candamarcensis were investigated. P1G10 was obtained from fresh latex samples by chromatography in a Sephadex column and initially administered to Swiss mice (n = 5; 1 or 10 mg/kg)
