Abstract:
Blood–brain barrier (BBB) aminopeptidase activity was investigated using an in vitro model consisting of primary cultures of brain microvessel endothelium. Using two different substrates, both membrane-bound and soluble aminopeptidases were found to be associated with brain endothelium. That the enzyme activity was aminopeptidase activity was confirmed with the competitive inhibition of substrate degradation by typical aminopeptidase inhibitors puromycin and bestatin. The aminopeptidase activity was also competitively inhibited by enkephalin, met-enkephalin, and leu-enkephalin. Results from pa

Abstract:
ABSTRACT The effects of myoglobin on exopeptidases of Lactobacillus sake were determined. Inhibition of the aminopeptidases increased as the myoglobin concentration increased; aminopeptidase 3 was the most affected (90% inhibition). Aminopeptidases 1, 2, and 4 showed similar inhibition levels (around 60%). Myoglobin did not affect tripeptidase activity. Thus, myoglobin could limit amino acid generation in meat systems.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT During its intraerythrocytic phase, the most lethal human malarial parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, digests host cell hemoglobin as a source of some of the amino acids required for its own protein synthesis. A number of parasite endopeptidases (including plasmepsins and falcipains) process the globin into small peptides. These peptides appear to be further digested to free amino acids by aminopeptidases, enzymes that catalyze the sequential cleavage of N-terminal amino acids from peptides. Aminopeptidases are classified into different evolutionary families according to their sequence

Abstract:
During the erythrocytic stage of its life cycle, the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum catabolizes large quantities of host-cell hemoglobin in an acidic organelle, the food vacuole. A current model for the catabolism of globin-derived oligopeptides invokes peptide transport out of the food vacuole followed by hydrolysis to amino acids by cytosolic aminopeptidases. To test this model, we have examined the roles of four parasite aminopeptidases during the erythrocytic cycle.

A novel two-step enzyme-linked assay for aminopeptidase W is described and validated by comparison with other assays. L-alpha-Glutamyl-L-tryptophan (Glu-Trp) is a favoured substrate for this enzyme.

In the presence of 5 mM-1,10-phenanthroline and 50 microM-cilastatin the contribution of other membrane peptidases, in particular aminopeptidases N and A and microsomal dipeptidase in kidney, was very small.

Aminopeptidase N (APN), also known as CD13 antigen or membrane alanyl aminopeptidase, belongs to the M1 family of the MA clan of zinc metallopeptidases.

Abstract:
Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic disease caused by infection with Toxoplasma gondii that currently has few therapeutic options. The M1 aminopeptidase enzymes have been shown to be attractive targets for anti-parasitic agents and/or vaccine candidates, suggesting potential to re-purpose inhibitors between parasite M1 aminopeptidase targets. The M1 aminopeptidase TgAPN2 has been suggested to be a potential new drug target for toxoplasmosis. Here we investigate the structure and function of TgAPN2, a homologue of the antimalarial drug target PfA-M1, and evaluate the capacity to use inhibitors that ta

Abstract:
The effect of 2,6-dichloro-4-nitrophenol (DCNP), an inhibitor of phenol sulphotransferases (EC 2.8.2.-), on the biosynthesis of aminopeptidase N (EC 3.4.11.2) was studied in organ-cultured pig intestinal mucosal explants. At 50 microM DCNP did not affect protein synthesis but it decreased incorporation of [35S]sulphate into aminopeptidase N and other major microvillar hydrolases by 70-85% compared with controls, indicating an inhibition of their post-translational tyrosine sulphation. In labelling experiments with [35S]methionine from 0.5 to 5 h, DCNP was tested for its possible influence on s

Abstract We previously found that the myeloid cell surface glycoprotein CD13 (gp150) is identical to aminopeptidase N (EC 3.4.11.2), a widely distributed membrane-bound, zinc-dependent metalloprotease with an extracellular enzymatic domain that cleaves N-terminal amino acid residues from oligopeptides (J Clin Invest 83:1299, 1989). As a first step toward defining the function of this molecule on myeloid cells, we assessed cell surface-associated N-terminal peptidase activity by sensitive spectrophotometric measurements of the cleavage of p- nitroanilide amino acid derivatives.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT An aminopeptidase from monkey (Macaca radiata) liver, inactivating oxytocin in vitro and located predominantly in the lysosomal and microsomal fractions, was purified by chromatography on Bio-Gel HTP, DEAE-Sephacel and nickel ion chelate gel and gel filtration on Sephacryl S300. Absence of binding to nickel ion chelate gel indicated the absence of exposed histidine and thiol residues on the enzyme. The enzyme appeared to be a high molecular weight (Mr 106 000) monomeric protein. It was sensitive to inhibition by metal chelators and was found to be a zinc metalloprotein by atomic absor

Abstract:
Thionoleucine S-anilide (Leut-anilide), Leut-Gly-OEt and Leut-Phe-OMe were synthesized and shown to be competitive inhibitors of leucine aminopeptidase from pig kidney. The kinetics of inhibition were determined in the presence of leucine 4-methylcoumarin-7-amide as substrate. Although the compounds showed only moderate inhibitory potency, it was found that all were resistant to hydrolysis by the enzyme, in contrast with the reported behaviour of some thionopeptide analogues of substrates for other Zn2+-peptidases such as carboxypeptidase A and angiotensin-converting enzyme.
