Pediococcus acidilactici is a probiotic lactic acid bacteria possessing studied in-vitro probiotic properties. Study of membrane proteins is crucial in developing technological and health applications of probiotic bacteria. Genome analysis of Pediococcus acidilactici revealed about more than 60 proteases/peptidases which need characterization. Dipeptidyl peptidase-III (DPP-III) is studied for first time in prokaryotes and it is a membrane protein in P. acidilactici that has been purified to apparent homogeneity. The enzyme was purified 81.66 fold with 36.75% yield. The specific activity of purified DPP-III was 202.67 U/mg. The protein moved as single band on native PAGE. The purity was also confirmed by in-situ gel assay. However SDS-PAGE analysis revealed it as high molecular weight heterotetramer with molecular weight of 108 kDa. The enzyme was maximally active at pH 8.5 and at 37 C. Purified DPP-III specifically hydrolyzed Arg-Arg-4-βNA with micromolar affinity (K = 9.0 µM) and none of studied endopeptidase and monopeptidase substrate was hydrolyzed. Inhibition study revealed purified DPP-III to be a serine protease with involvement of metal ion at active site. The significance of this enzyme as membrane protein is yet to be studied.

Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron is a dominant member of the human intestinal microbiome. The genome of this anaerobe encodes more than 100 proteolytic enzymes, the majority of which have not been characterized. In the present study, we have produced and purified recombinant dipeptidyl peptidase III (DPP III) from B.

Both proteins contained all conserved regions of the DPP III family, but instead of the characteristic hexapeptide HEXXGH zinc-binding motif, they possessed a pentapeptide HEXXH, and at the N-terminus, a Nudix box, a hallmark of Nudix hydrolases, known to act upon a variety of nucleoside diphosphate derivatives. To investigate their biochemical properties, we expressed heterologously and purified Physcomitrella (PpND) and Arabidopsis (AtND) protein.

Dipeptidylpeptidase-III (DPP-III) from goat brain was purified and characterized using Arginyl-Arginyl-4-methoxy-β-naphthylamide (Arg-Arg-4mβNA) substrate. This enzyme retained its activity in native 10% polyacrylamide gel when stained using Arg-Arg-4mβNA. The activity was significantly increased by 100 mM chloride.

The purified dipeptidyl aminopeptidase from goat brain showed several characteristics similar to DPP-III although it possesses a dissimilar molecular weight and different inhibition behavior. The enzyme was found to be inhibited by metallochelators and thiol inhibitors which could be reversed by introducing metals and thiols, respectively. The enzyme activity is also significantly affected by DMSO and ethanol.
