Comparing the structures of the prokaryotic X-prolyl dipeptidyl aminopeptidase (X-PDAP) from Lactococcus lactis and eukaryotic DPP4 demonstrates that the residues most implicated in X-PDAP activity are conserved in the same positions and orientations of DPP4, despite very different domains flanking the catalytic domain, different dimer organization, and substrate selectivity processes
Key areas of investigation include modulation of the nitric oxide (NO) system through interaction with NOS isoforms, upregulation of growth factor receptors (including VEGFR2 and EGF receptor systems), and engagement of the FAK-paxillin signaling cascade associated with cell migration and adhesion
