Journal ArticleDOI
An IFN-gamma-induced aminopeptidase in the ER, ERAP1, trims precursors to MHC class I-presented peptides.
Tomo Saric,Shih-Chung Chang,Akira Hattori,Ian A. York,Shirley L. Markant,Kenneth L. Rock,Masafumi Tsujimoto,Alfred L. Goldberg +7 more
TL;DR: This work purified from liver microsomes a lumenal, soluble aminopeptidase that removes NH2-terminal residues from many antigenic precursors that stimulates the processing and presentation of an antigenic precursor in the ER.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human leukocyte-derived arginine aminopeptidase. The third member of the oxytocinase subfamily of aminopeptidases.
Toshihiro Tanioka,Akira Hattori,Shinako Masuda,Yoshihiro Nomura,Hiroshi Nakayama,Shigehiko Mizutani,Masafumi Tsujimoto +6 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that L-RAP is a novel aminopeptidase that can trim the N-terminal extended precursors to antigenic peptides in the endoplasmic reticulum.
Journal ArticleDOI
The oxytocinase subfamily of M1 aminopeptidases.
Masafumi Tsujimoto,Akira Hattori +1 more
TL;DR: It is getting evident that the subfamily members play important roles in the maintenance of homeostasis including maintenance of normal pregnancy, memory retention, blood pressure regulation and antigen presentation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tumor necrosis factor stimulates the synthesis and secretion of biologically active nerve growth factor in non-neuronal cells.
Akira Hattori,Eiko Tanaka,Katsuhito Murase,Nobuhiro Ishida,Yuji Chatani,Masafumi Tsujimoto,Kyozo Hayashi,Michiaki Kohno +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that TNF plays a role in regulating neuronal cell function through an indirect mechanism by which it stimulates NGF production in glial cells and fibroblasts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular cloning of adipocyte-derived leucine aminopeptidase highly related to placental leucine aminopeptidase/oxytocinase.
TL;DR: The identification of A-LAP, which reveals strong homology to P- LAP, might lead to the definition of a new subfamily of zinc-containing aminopeptidases belonging to the M1 family of metallopeptIDases.
