Recombinant Streptomyces griseus aminopeptidase (SGAP) was produced using Cangene's expression system, CANGENUS. This heat-stable aminopeptidase with an N-terminal Ala-Pro-Asp-Ile-Pro-Leu-Ala-Asn-Val-Lys-Ala sequence was purified from 16L of Streptomyces lividans fermentation supernatant with high purity and 19.5% recovery rate. This was achieved by the combination of hydrophobic-interaction and size-exclusion chromatographic procedures. The calcium-activated zinc metalloprotein demonstrated no loss of activity at -20 degrees C for at least 8 weeks in both liquid and freeze-dried formulations. The recombinant SGAP showed an apparent molecular mass of 31 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and 26.8 kDa by gel filtration. The simple, high-yield, inexpensive purification method with few intermediate steps provides a novel and practical procedure for large-scale production of active recombinant S. griseus aminopeptidase.

In this study, chemical promiscuity of a binuclear metallohydrolase aminopeptidase (AP) has been investigated using DFT calculations. AP catalyzes two diverse reactions, peptide and phosphoester hydrolyses, using its binuclear (Zn-Zn) core. On the basis of the experimental information, mechanisms of these reactions have been investigated utilizing leucine -nitro aniline (Leu-NA) and bis(4-nitrophenyl) phosphate (BNPP) as the substrates.

Amyloid beta (Aβ) peptides play a central role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. The accumulation of Aβ peptides in AD brain was caused due to overproduction or insufficient clearance and defects in the proteolytic degradation of Aβ peptides. Hence, Aβ peptide degradation could be a promising therapeutic approach in AD treatment.

Lantibiotics are a large group of ribosomally synthesized peptides post-translationally modified to incorporate the amino acid lanthionine. They are classified, according to their biosynthetic pathway and bioactivity, into three major subtypes. Of Actinomycetes type III lantibiotics, only four peptides (SapB, SapT, LabA1, and LabA2) have been described and structurally characterized, although homologous gene clusters are abundant in other Actinomycetes.

Nicastrin is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein, which is part of the high molecular weight γ-secretase complex. γ-Secretase is one of the key players associated with the generation of Alzheimer's disease pathology, since it liberates the neurotoxic amyloid β-peptide. Four proteins Nicastrin, anterior pharynx-defective-1 (Aph-1), presenilin enhancer-2 (Pen-2) and Presenilin are essential to form the active γ-secretase complex.
