Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we analyzed the structure-function relationship of dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP) Family-S46 peptidase, which is involved in bacterial growth, and screened for inhibitory compounds. S46 peptidase shoewd specificity for hydrophobic amino acid residues at the N-terminus of the substrate and for asparagine residues. Furthermore, in silico screening of S46 peptidase by structural analysis revealed the first inhibitors of S46 peptidase in the world. The inhibitors had no effect for the growth of Escherichia coli, but inhibited the growth of periodontal bacteria.
