Aminopeptidase profiles of various bacteria.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aminopeptidase specificity of 24 strains of bacteria was determined fluorometrically by use of a series of alpha-amino acid beta-naphthylamides as substrates. Provided that strict control over medium and growth time was adhered to, a reproducible profile of aminopeptidase activity was obtained which could be used for the identification of bacteria.

Simultaneous multiple substrate tag detection with ESI-ion trap MS for in vivo bacterial enzyme activity profiling.
A bacterial identification method in which multiple enzyme activities are measured simultaneously and in vivo with electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) is described. Whole-cell bacteria are immobilized onto a filter support and incubated with a mixture of substrates. Each substrate is chosen to measure a specific enzyme activity of a targeted bacterium and to produce a tag of uniq...
متن کاملBreakdown of peptides from a casein hydrolysate by rumen bacteria. Simultaneous study of enzyme activities and physicochemical parameters.
The breakdown of a pancreatic hydrolysate of casein (tryptone) by an inoculum of ruminal mixed bacteria was studied in vitro. Peptides were degradated at 33% after 5 h. The dipeptidyl aminopeptidase type 1 (DAP-1), exoaminopeptidase and leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) like activities were measured using, respectively, Gly-Arg-MNA, Ala-pNa and Leu-pNA as substrates. While the total proteolytic acti...
متن کاملNew peptide deformylase inhibitors and cooperative interaction: a combination to improve antibacterial activity.
OBJECTIVES Bacterial drug resistance is a worrying public health problem and there is an urgent need for research and development to provide new antibacterial molecules. Peptide deformylase (PDF) is now a well-described intracellular target selected for the design of a new antibiotic group, PDF inhibitors (PDFIs). The initial bacterial susceptibility to an inhibitor of a cytoplasmic target is d...
متن کاملActivity of Dipeptidyl Peptidase-IV/CD26 and Aminopeptidase N/CD13 in Secretome of Mesenchymal Stem Cells after Treatment with LPS and PMA
Background: Emerging evidence suggests that secretome of mesenchymal stem cells has many anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties, which makes it a suitable candidate for the treatment of autoimmune and degenerative diseases. Dipeptidyl Peptidase-IV (DPP-IV)/CD26 and Aminopeptidase N (APN)/CD13 are ubiquitous ecto-enzymes which can digest various substrates including some ...
متن کاملA rapid method for the estimation of the microbiological quality of refrigerated raw milk based on the aminopeptidase activity of Gram-negative bacteria
A rapid method for the estimation of the microbiological quality of refrigerated raw milk was developed based on the aminopeptidase activity of Gram-negative psychrotrophic bacteria, the dominant microbial population in refrigerated foods. Two versions of the test for measuring the aminopeptidase activity are reported (direct and indirect). A good correlation (r=0.93–0.95) between bacterial cou...
