Journal ArticleDOI
Post-proline cleaving enzyme. Synthesis of a new fluorogenic substrate and distribution of the endopeptidase in rat tissues and body fluids of man.
TL;DR: Inhibition experiments indicated that post-proline cleaving enzyme activity was completely inactivated by 0.1 mM diisopropylphosphofluoridate and Z-Gly-Pro-chloromethylketone, as had been found in the case of the enzyme isolated from lamb kidney.
Journal ArticleDOI
Specific inhibitors for prolyl endopeptidase and their anti-amnesic effect.

TL;DR: The results suggest the possibility that the inhibitors exhibit their anti-amnesic effect through the regulation of the enzyme activity in the brain through theregulation of the prolyl endopeptidase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Post-proline cleaving enzyme and post-proline dipeptidyl aminopeptidase. Comparison of two peptidases with high specificity for proline residues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proline-specific endopeptidase from Flavobacterium. Purification and properties.
TL;DR: Proline-specific endopeptidase (EC 3.26) was purified 1,400-fold in an overall yield of 10% from cell-free extracts of Flavobacterium meningosepticum by CMcellulose and hydroxyapatite column chromatographies and gel filtration on Sephadex G-150, apparently homogeneous as judged by both standard disc gel and sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis.
Journal ArticleDOI
CPT-11 Converting Enzyme from Rat Serum : Purification and Some Properties
TL;DR: Kinetic analysis revealed that the deacylation of the enzyme is the rate-limiting step in substrate hydrolysis, and this enzyme was found to also split other ester derivatives of SN-38 besides CPT-11.
