The Aeromonas proteolytica aminopeptidase (AMP), Pseudomonas sp. (RS-16) carboxypeptidase G2 (CPG2), and Streptomyces griseus aminopeptidase (SGAP) are zinc dependent proteolytic enzymes with cocatalytic zinc ion centers and a conserved aminopeptidase fold. A BLAST search with the sequence of the solved

Metalloaminopeptidases (mAPs) are enzymes that are involved in HIV infectivity, tumor growth and metastasis, angiogenesis, and bacterial infection. Investigation of structure-function relationships in mAPs is a prerequisite to rational design of anti-mAP chemotherapeutics. The most intensively studied member of the

The aminopeptidase from Aeromonas proteolytica (AAP) is a bridged bimetallic enzyme that removes the N-terminal amino acid from a peptide chain. To fully understand the metal roles in the reaction pathway of AAP we have solved the 1.20 A resolution
Peptide-derived thiols of the general structure N-mercaptoacyl-leucyl-p-nitroanilide (1a-c) were synthesized and found to be potent, slow-binding inhibitors of the aminopeptidase from Aeromonas proteolytica (AAP). The overall potencies (K(I)) of these inhibitors against AAP range from 2.5 to 57 nM exceeding
The chemical properties of zinc make it an ideal metal to study the role of coordination strain in enzymatic rate enhancement. The zinc ion and the protein residues that are bound directly to the zinc ion represent a functional charge/dipole
