  • Title: [Proline specific peptidases and their specific inhibitors].
    Author: Yoshimoto T.
    Journal: Yakugaku Zasshi; 1991 Jul; 111(7):345-58. PubMed ID: 1783984.
    Abstract:
    Several proline specific peptidases were newly isolated from mammalian organs, plants and microorganisms, and their enzymatic properties characterized. The genes of prolyl endopeptidase, aminopeptidase P and proline iminopeptidase from some microorganisms were cloned and their nucleotide sequences determined. By high expression of these genes in Escherichia coli, the enzymes became possible to be used for the industrial application as well as its basic research. Novel inhibitors specific for the prolyl endopeptidase and dipeptidyl aminopeptidase IV were synthesized and some inhibitors for prolyl endopeptidase found to show an anti-amnesic effect.
