The pathology of PCM is not completely understood, and the role of proteases in the infection is not clearly defi ned. In this report, we describe a metallopeptidase activity in P. brasiliensis total and cytosolic protein extracts similar to that of mammalian thimet oligopeptidase (TOP). The analogous enzyme was suggested by analysis of P. brasiliensis genome data- bank and by hydrolytic activity of the FRET peptide Abz-GFSPFRQ-EDDnp which was completely inhibited by o -phenanthrolin and signifi cantly inhibited by the TOP inhibitor, JA-2. This activity was also partially inhibited by IgG purifi ed from patients with PCM, but not from normal individuals. As shown by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), the hydrolysis of bradykinin had the same pattern as that of mammalian TOP, and anti-mammalian TOP antibodies signifi cantly inhibited fungal cytosolic peptidase activity. -

Mitochondrial Proteolysis and Metabolic Control

A decline of mitochondrial proteolysis promotes cellular stress and may contribute to the aging process. Mitochondrial proteases have also emerged as tightly regulated enzymes required to support the remarkable mitochondrial plasticity nec- essary for metabolic adaptation in a number of physiological scenarios. Indeed, the mutation and dysfunction of several mitochondrial proteases can cause specific human diseases with severe metabolic phenotypes. Here, we present an overview of the proteolytic regulation of key mitochondrial functions such as respiration, lipid biosynthesis, and mitochondrial dy- namics, all of which are required for metabolic control. We also pay attention to how mito- chondrial proteases are acutely regulated in response to cellular stressors or changes in growth conditions, a greater understanding of which may one day uncover their therapeutic potential. ore than a billion years of evolution inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM), which Msince their fateful endosymbiotic origin is separated from the cytosol by the intermem- have directed mitochondria -
