Disease relevance of pcp

The pcp gene was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and the PYRase purified to homogeneity [1].
Isolation and characterization of pcp, a gene encoding a pyrrolidone carboxyl peptidase in Staphylococcus aureus [1].
The BCG pcp gene was overexpressed in Escherichia coli [2].
The Mycobacterium bovis bacilli Calmette-Guerin (BCG) pcp gene that encodes the pyrrolidone carboxyl peptidase (Pcp) was cloned from a lambdagtll genomic library and sequenced [2].

High impact information on pcp

The pcp gene, encoding a pyrrolidone carboxyl peptidase (PYRase), was cloned from a lambda GT11 genomic library prepared from Staphylococcus aureus FDA 574 and sequenced [1].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of pcp
