Abstract
Purification of DPP-IV enzyme from porcine serum, is presented in this study for the first time. The high molecular weight DPP-IV from porcine serum was fractioned using Sephadex G-75 gel filtration followed by DEAE Sephadex anion exchange and Sephadex G-100 gel filtration chromatography columns with a final yield of 11.25%. The SDS-PAGE of the purified sample showed a single band of molecular mass nearing 160 kDa. Distinct single band was observed after PAS staining confirmed it to be a glycoprotein. The purified enzyme showed an optimum pH and temperature of 8 and 37 °C, respectively. The enzyme effectively cleaved fluorogenic substrate Gly-Pro-AMC with Km and Vmax of 4.578 µM and 90.84 nmoles/min, respectively. Purified DPP-IV activity was inhibited by Diprotin A with an IC50 value of 8.473 µM. Among the three plant extracts used to study DPP-IV inhibition, the aqueous hot extract of Terminalia chebula showed the highest inhibition of 87.19%, followed by the aqueous cold extract of Momordica carantia, ( 31.6%) and Azadirachta indica (34.16%) at the concentration of 25 µg.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) is an aminopeptidase that cleaves the N-terminal dipeptide from peptides bearing proline or alanine residues. Currently, DPP-IV activity is quantified by spectrophotometric or fluorometric methods, which employ Gly-Pro-pNA and Gly-Pro-AMC respectively, as substrate. However, these methods require high enzyme and substrate concentrations. In this study, we adapted the DPP-IV fluorospectrometric assay using NanoDrop 3300, which requires only nanogram levels of the enzyme (30 ng crude DPP-IV) and considerably low substrate concentrations (100 μM). Fluorescence measurement required a reaction mixture of only 2 μL, thus eliminating the need for microtiter plates or cuvettes.We employed this assay to demonstrate DPP-IV activity in porcine serum for the first time. The enzymatic activity peaked at pH 8.0 in porcine (84 nM/min), human (87 nM/min) and bovine (89.1 nM/min) sera, with the optimum temperature of 37 °C. The enzyme showed maximum activity upon incubation for 40 min at 37 °C. In contrast, activity in the porcine serum was the highest after incubation for 30 min at the same optimized parameters. The IC50 values of diprotin A against DPP-IV from human, porcine, and bovine sera were 7.83, 8.62, 9.17 μM, respectively. The present assay procedure is a convenient, sensitive, accurate and high-throughput method suitable for primary screening of DPP-IV inhibitors.

Abstract
Asthma is a heterogeneous and chronic inflammatory family of disorders of the airways with increasing prevalence that results in recurrent and reversible bronchial obstruction and expiratory airflow limitation. These diseases arise from the interaction between environmental and genetic factors, which collaborate to cause increased susceptibility and severity. Many asthma susceptibility genes are linked to the immune system or encode enzymes like metalloproteases (e.g., ADAM-33) or serine proteases. The S9 family of serine proteases (prolyl oligopeptidases) is capable to process peptide bonds adjacent to proline, a kind of cleavage-resistant peptide bonds present in many growth factors, chemokines or cytokines that are important for asthma. Curiously, two serine proteases within the S9 family encoded by genes located on chromosome 2 appear to have a role in asthma: CD26/dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) and DPP10. The aim of this review is to summarize the current knowledge about CD26 and to provide a structured overview of the numerous functions and implications that this versatile enzyme could have in this disease, especially after the detection of some secondary effects (e.g., viral nasopharyngitis) in type II diabetes mellitus patients (a subset with a certain risk of developing obesity-related asthma) upon CD26 inhibitory therapy.

Molecular mechanism and structural basis of interactions of dipeptidyl peptidase IV with adenosine deaminase and human immunodeficiency virus type-1 transcription transactivator. Eur J Cell Biol 2011; 91:265-73.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV or CD26) is a multifunctional membrane glycoprotein. As an exopeptidase it regulates the activity of a series of biologically important peptides. Through its interaction with specific proteins and peptides, DPPIV is also involved in a wide range of biologically relevant processes such as cell adhesion, T cell activation and apoptosis. In this paper, we review our recent studies on the interactions of DPPIV with adenosine deaminase (ADA) and the transcription transactivator of the human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1 Tat) as revealed by three-dimensional structure reconstructed by single particle analysis of cryo-electron microscopy (EM) and crystal structures of the human DPPIV-bovine ADA complex as well as the crystal structures of DPPIV in complex with HIV-1 Tat-derived nonapeptides. These results contribute importantly to the clarification of the molecular mechanisms of this multifunctional protein. The biological relevance of these interactions is discussed.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) is a drug target in the treatment of human type II diabetes. It is a type II membrane protein with a single transmembrane domain (TMD) anchoring the extracellular catalytic domain to the membrane. DPP-IV is active as a dimer, with two dimer interacting surfaces located extracellularly. In this study, we demonstrate that the TM of DPP-IV promotes DPP-IV dimerization and rescues monomeric DPP-IV mutants into partial dimers, which is specific and irreplaceable by TMs of other type II membrane proteins. By bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) and peptide electrophoresis, we found that the TM domain of DPP-IV is dimerized in mammalian cells and in vitro. The TM dimer interaction is very stable, based on our results with TM site-directed mutagenesis. None of the mutations, including the introduction of two prolines, resulted in their complete disruption to monomers. However, these TM proline mutations result in a significant reduction of DPP-IV enzymatic activity, comparable to what is found with mutations near the active site. A systematic analysis of TM structures deposited in the Protein Data Bank showed that prolines in the TM generally produce much bigger kinking angles than occur in nonproline-containing TMs. Thus, the proline-dependent reduction in enzyme activity may result from propagated conformational changes from the TM to the extracellular active site. Our results demonstrate that TM dimerization and conformation contribute significantly to the structure and activity of DPP-IV. Optimal enzymatic activity of DPP-IV requires an optimal interaction of all three dimer interfaces, including its TM.

Abstract
Imbalanced protease expression and activities may contribute to the development of cancers, including neuroblastoma (NB). NB is a fatal childhood cancer of the sympathetic nervous system that frequently overexpresses mitogenic peptides, chemokines and their receptors. Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV), a cell surface serine protease, inactivates or degrades some of these bioactive peptides and chemokines, thereby regulating cell proliferation and survival. Our studies show that DPPIV is expressed in normal neural crest-derived structures, including superior cervical and dorsal root ganglion cells, sciatic nerve, and in adrenal glands, but its expression is greatly decreased or lost in cells derived from NB, their malignant counterpart. Restoration of DPPIV expression in NB cells led to their differentiation in association with increased expression of the neural marker MAP2 and decreased expression of chemokines, including stromal-derived factor 1 (SDF1) and its receptor CXCR4. Furthermore, DPPIV promoted apoptosis, and inhibited SDF1-mediated in vitro cell migration and angiogenic potential. These changes were accompanied by caspase activation and decreased levels of phospho-Akt and MMP9 activity, which are downstream effectors of SDF1-CXCR4 signaling. Importantly, DPPIV suppressed the tumorigenic potential of NB cells in a xenotransplantation mouse model. These data support a potential role for DPPIV in inhibiting NB growth and progression.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV, CD26, EC 3.4.14.5) serves as a model aimed at elucidating protein sorting signals. We identify here, by MS, several tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins in a rat liver Golgi/endosome (G/E) fraction including DPP IV. We show that a pool of DPP IV is tyrosine-phosphorylated. Maximal phosphorylation was observed after 2 min following intravenous insulin injection. DPP IV coimmunoprecipitated with the cellular tyrosine kinase Src (c-Src) with maximal association also observed after 2 min following insulin injection. DPP IV was found phosphorylated after incubation of nonsolubilized G/E membranes with [gamma-32P]ATP. The c-Src inhibitor PP2 inhibited DPP IV phosphorylation. Oriented proteolysis experiments indicate that a large pool of c-Src is protected in G/E fractions. Following injection of the protein-tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor bpV(phen), DPP IV levels markedly decreased by 40% both in plasma membrane and G/E fractions. In the fraction designated Lh, DPP IV levels decreased by 50% 15 min following insulin injection. Therefore, a pool of DPP IV is tyrosine-phosphorylated in an insulin-dependent manner. The results suggest the presence of a yet to be characterized signalling mechanism whereby DPP IV has access to c-Src-containing signalling platforms.

Abstract
Neurotransmitter transporters play a major role in achieving low concentrations of their respective transmitter in the synaptic cleft. The GABA transporter GAT1 belongs to the family of Na(+)- and Cl(-)-coupled transport proteins which possess 12 putative transmembrane domains and three N-glycosylation sites in the extracellular loop between transmembrane domain 3 and 4. To study the significance of N-glycosylation, green fluorescence protein (GFP)-tagged wild type GAT1 (NNN) and N-glycosylation defective mutants (DDQ, DGN, DDN and DDG) were expressed in CHO cells. Compared with the wild type, all N-glycosylation mutants showed strongly reduced protein stability and trafficking to the plasma membrane, which however were not affected by 1-deoxymannojirimycin (dMM). This indicates that N-glycosylation, but not terminal trimming of the N-glycans is involved in the attainment of a correctly folded and stable conformation of GAT1. All N-glycosylation mutants were expressed on the plasma membrane, but they displayed markedly reduced GABA-uptake activity. Also, inhibition of oligosaccharide processing by dMM led to reduction of this activity. Further experiments showed that both N-glycosylation mutations and dMM reduced the V(max) value, while not increasing the K(m) value for GABA uptake. Electrical measurements revealed that the reduced transport activity can be partially attributed to a reduced apparent affinity for extracellular Na+ and slowed kinetics of the transport cycle. This indicates that N-glycans, in particular their terminal trimming, are important for the GABA-uptake activity of GAT1. They play a regulatory role in the GABA translocation by affecting the affinity and the reaction steps associated with the sodium ion binding.

Abstract
The specific binding of adenosine deaminase to the multifunctional membrane glycoprotein dipeptidyl peptidase IV is thought to be immunologically relevant for certain regulatory and co-stimulatory processes. In this study we present the 3D structure of the complete CD26-ADA complex obtained by single particle cryo-EM at 22A resolution. ADA binding occurs at the outer edges of the beta-propeller of CD26. Docking calculations of available CD26 and ADA crystal data into the obtained EM density map revealed that the ADA-binding site is stretched across CD26 beta-propeller blades 4 and 5 involving the outermost distal hydrophobic amino acids L294 and V341 but not T440 and K441 as suggested by antibody binding. Though the docking of the ADA orientation appears less significant due to the lack of distinct surface features, non-ambiguous conclusions can be drawn in the combination with earlier indirect non-imaging methods affirming the crucial role of the ADA alpha2-helix for binding.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl-peptidase IV/CD26 (DPP IV) is a cell-surface protease belonging to the prolyloligopeptidase family. It selectively removes the N-terminal dipeptide from peptides with proline or alanine in the second position. Apart from its catalytic activity, it interacts with several proteins, for instance, adenosine deaminase, the HIV gp120 protein, fibronectin, collagen, the chemokine receptor CXCR4, and the tyrosine phosphatase CD45. DPP IV is expressed on a specific set of T lymphocytes, where it is up-regulated after activation. It is also expressed in a variety of tissues, primarily on endothelial and epithelial cells. A soluble form is present in plasma and other body fluids. DPP IV has been proposed as a diagnostic or prognostic marker for various tumors, hematological malignancies, immunological, inflammatory, psychoneuroendocrine disorders, and viral infections. DPP IV truncates many bioactive peptides of medical importance. It plays a role in glucose homeostasis through proteolytic inactivation of the incretins. DPP IV inhibitors improve glucose tolerance and pancreatic islet cell function in animal models of type 2 diabetes and in diabetic patients. The role of DPP IV/ CD26 within the immune system is a combination of its exopeptidase activity and its interactions with different molecules. This enables DPP IV/CD26 to serve as a co-stimulatory molecule to influence T cell activity and to modulate chemotaxis. DPP IV is also implicated in HIV-1 entry, malignant transformation, and tumor invasion.

Abstract
We present the three-dimensional structure of rat DPPIV/CD26, as determined by cryo-TEM and single particle analysis at a resolution of approximately 14A. The reconstruction confirms that the protein exists as a dimer, as predicted earlier. Since there are structural analogies to the serine peptidase POP, docking calculations of the two structures were performed. Although the docking showed a similar spatial organization (catalytic domain, beta-propeller, distal opening, central cavity), the detailed comparison revealed clear discrepancies. The most marked difference is a second (lateral) opening in DPPIV/CD26, which would enable direct access to the catalytic site. We therefore assume that substrate selectivity and binding rate are most probably driven by different mechanisms in DPPIV/CD26 and POP.

Abstract
The human dipeptidyl peptidase IV/CD26 (DPPIV/CD26) is a multifunctional type-II membrane bound glycoprotein. As a receptor of collagen I and fibronectin it mediates cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion, and by interacting with extracellular adenosine deaminase and CD45 it is involved in regulatory and costimulatory events in the immune system. DPPIV/CD26 has a very distinct substrate specificity, and is potentially capable of truncating many cytokines, chemokines, and peptide hormones. In this study, we describe the overexpression, purification, and characterization of human DPPIV/CD26 in Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) cells, using the baculovirus system. Overexpression of DPPIV/CD26 was confirmed by measurement of its peptidase specificity, SDS-PAGE, and Western blot analyses. Expression rates were between 6.4 and 17.6 mg protein per liter suspension culture (1.5 x 10(9)cells). The N-linked oligosaccharide composition was examined and compared with that of mammalian cell-expressed DPPIV/CD26. Two-step purification by immunoaffinity chromatography and size-exclusion fast protein liquid chromatography (SE-FPLC) led to highly stable protein with significant peptidase activity. A subsequent gel filtration step on a Superdex 200 column yielded 2mg homogeneous dimeric DPPIV/CD26 (per liter insect cell culture) for crystallographic studies. Protein homogeneity was confirmed by silver staining of non-denaturating PAGE gels and by MALDI-TOF analysis of tryptic peptides.
