Aminopeptidases isolated from plants of great economic value – role and characteristics
Journal Title: CHEMIK nauka-technika-rynek - Year 2015, Vol 69, Issue 8
Abstract
Aminopeptidases are members of hydrolases, the group of enzymes that cleave N-terminal residues from peptide chain. These enzymes are widely distributed in many living organisms, and they play crucial role in several physiological processes (protein turnover, germination, defense processes and meiosis). Plant aminopeptidases are used in production of protein hydrolysates and may also serve as molecular target for herbicides. This publication is a review of the literature concerning the characteristics and physiological role of aminopeptidases found in selected plant species. Special attention has been given to the plants of great economic value such as cereals, nightshades family and selected vegetables in which expression of some aminopeptidases is induced by various harmful factors.
