An oligopeptidase from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens 23-7A was characterized along with its biochemical activities and structural gene. The protein's amino acid sequence and enzymatic activities were similar to those of other bacterial PepFs, which belong to metallopeptidase family M3. While most bacterial PepFs are cytoplasmic endopeptidases, the identified PepFBa oligopeptidase is a secreted protein and may facilitate the process of sporulation.

Background: Elucidating the intricacies of the sugarcane genome is essential for breeding superior cultivars. This economically important crop originates from hybridizations of highly polyploid Saccharum species. However, the large size (10 Gb), high degree of polyploidy, and aneuploidy of the sugarcane genome pose significant challenges to complete genome sequencing, assembly, and annotation.

In proteomics, postproline cleaving enzymes (PPCEs), such as prolyl endopeptidase (PEP) and neprosin, complement proteolytic tools because proline is a stop site for many proteases. But while aiming at using PEP in online proteolysis, we found that this enzyme also displayed specificity to reduced cysteine. By LC-MS/MS, we systematically analyzed PEP sources and conditions that could affect this cleavage preference.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers cloned and overexpressed a stable lipase enzyme called TnLip from the bacterium Thermotoga naphthophila, which is notable for its high activity and stability at extreme temperatures and pH levels.
- TnLip shows impressive resistance to commercial detergents and enhances its activity with various solvents and salts, making it highly effective for applications in cleaning and fat degradation.
- The enzyme demonstrated significant hydrolytic activity with specific substrates, efficiently breaking down animal fats and oil stains, suggesting its potential use in laundry detergents and environmental cleanup efforts.

Celiac disease (CD) is a common autoimmune disorder in which the patients are unable to digest gluten, which is present in foods made up of wheat, barley and rye. Whilst diagnosis happens late in 80% of the cases, avoidance of such foods appears to be the common solution. Alternative management strategies are required for the patients and their families since CD is also genetically carried over.
