Article Abstract
cDNA coding a prolyl aminopeptidase (PAP) was cloned from Aspergillus oryzae and over expressed in Bacillus subtilis with a 6×His tag in N-terminus. The recombinant prolyl aminopeptidase was secreted to extracellular by adding 2 mM CaCl and 5% D-sorbitol in TB medium; the enzyme activity in fermented supernatant increased from 7.2 to 41.5 U mL. It has been purified 4.3-fold through Ni-chelating affinity chromatography with a recovery of 47.3%. The purified enzyme is stable below 50 °C and within pH 6-11, and with the highest activity at pH 7.5 and 50 °C. Several kinds of salt can activate enzyme activity in a certain concentration and the relative activity was 127.02% even when the concentration of NaCl reached 4.36 M. It cleaved N-terminal Pro residues from many peptides but shown different hydrolysis rates for various Pro-X dipeptides or peptides which are of different lengths. It combined with alkaline protease and leucine aminopeptidase to hydrolyze casein, many free amino acid especially proline and small peptide of hydrolysate increased significantly.

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains one of the most prevalent and lethal cancers globally, making it critical to understand the mechanisms driving its progression and improve prognosis. Moreover, cuproptosis and mitochondrial dysfunction may be involved in lung cancer. Therefore, the present study aimed to identify mitochondrial genes associated with cuproptosis to develop a prognostic model for patients with LUAD, with the potential to predict survival outcomes and responses to treatment.

BACKGROUND X-PROLYL AMINOPEPTIDASE 3: (XPNPEP3) mutations are known to cause nephronophthisis-like nephropathy-1 (NPHPL1), a rare autosomal-recessive kidney disease characterized by progressive kidney failure and cystic kidney disease in childhood. The full phenotypic spectrum associated with mutations in XPNPEP3 is not fully elucidated. CASE PRESENTATION: A 13-year-old Chinese female patient with intellectual disability presented with a 2-year history of convulsions and fatigue, with a recent episode of swelling, breathlessness, and nocturnal dyspnea lasting 10 days.

Article Synopsis
- Aminopeptidases are important enzymes in the human body and can serve as crucial biomarkers for various diseases, especially cancer, due to abnormal levels associated with these conditions.
- The review highlights the use of small-molecule probes, including fluorescent, photoacoustic, bioluminescent, and chemiluminescent types, which enhance the study of aminopeptidases and allow for real-time imaging of protein activities in specific tissues.
- The focus is on four key aminopeptidases and discusses the design of these probes, previous research developments, and future opportunities in bioimaging, aiming to improve disease diagnostics and treatment options.
Investigation of the relationship between the changes in vaginal microecological enzymes and human papillomavirus (HPV) infection.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how HPV infection relates to the vaginal microecological environment in 1,281 patients at The First Hospital of Qinhuangdao, focusing on specific enzymes.
- The researchers found that the presence of proline aminopeptidase and acetylglucosaminidase is linked with various vaginal inflammatory diseases, like trichomonas and bacterial vaginitis.
- The findings suggest that these enzymes can increase the risk of different HPV subtypes and hold potential as diagnostic tools for persistent HPV infection.

Skeletal muscle maintenance depends largely on muscle stem cells (satellite cells) that supply myoblasts required for muscle regeneration and growth. The ubiquitin-proteasome system is the major intracellular protein degradation pathway. We previously reported that proteasome dysfunction in skeletal muscle significantly impairs muscle growth and development.
