Identification and Characterisation of a Novel Acylpeptide Hydrolase from Sulfolobus Solfataricus: Structural and Functional Insights

A novel acylpeptide hydrolase, named APEH-3Ss, was isolated from the hypertermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus. APEH is a member of the prolyl oligopeptidase family which catalyzes the removal of acetylated amino acid residues from the N terminus of oligopeptides. The purified enzyme shows a...
