Abstract: Pyrrolidone carboxypeptidases (Pcps) (E.C. 3.4.19.3) can cleave the peptide bond adjacent to pyro-glutamic acid (pGlu), an N-terminal modification observed in some proteins that provides protection against common proteases. Pcp derived from extremely thermophilic Fervidobacterium islandicum… read more here.

Abstract: A highly thermostable β-(1-4)-glucanase (NA23_08975) gene (fig) from Fervidobacterium islandicum AW-1, a native-feather degrading thermophilic eubacterium, was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant FiG (rFiG) protein showed strong activity toward β-D-glucan from barley… read more here.
