ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides isolated polypeptides, prolyl tripeptidyl-peptidases, and active analogs, active fragments or active modifications thereof, having amidolytic activity for cleavage of a peptide bond present in a target peptide having at least 30 amino acids. Isolated nucleic acid fragments encoding isolated prolyl tripeptidyl-peptidases are also provided, as are methods of reducing growth of a bacterium by inhibiting a prolyl tripeptidyl-peptidase.
