Two metallocarboxypeptidases from the protozoan <i>Trypanosoma cruzi</i> belong to the M32 family, found so far only in prokaryotes

21 Dec 2006

Abstract excerpt

MCPs (metallocarboxypeptidases) of the M32 family of peptidases have been identified in a number of prokaryotic organisms, and only a few of them have been characterized biochemically. Members of this family are absent from eukaryotic genomes, with the remarkable exception of those of trypanosomatids. The genome of the CL Brener clone of Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas' disease, encodes two such...
