L-Amino acid α-ligase (Lal), catalyzing the formation of α-dipeptides from unprotected l-amino acids in an ATP-dependent manner, is used in cost-effective fermentative production of dipeptides. We searched for novel Lals by in silico screening using Hidden Markov Model-based profile analysis, and identified five novel Lals that showed low similarity and different substrate specificity from known Lals.

Page/Page column 8, (2008/06/13)
The present invention provides a Dpp4 inhibitor which comprises a leucine derivative of the following formula (1) or a methionine derivative of the following formula (2): wherein each R1 and R3 represents a hydrogen atom (H) and an L-amino acid residue; R2 represents a hydroxyl group (OH), alkoxy group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, amino group (NH2), alkylamino group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, glycine residue, β-alanine residue, L-amino acid (except for proline, alanine and phenylalanine) residue or L-amino-acid amide (except for proline amide, alanine amide and phenylalanine amide) residue; and R4 represents a hydroxyl group (OH), alkoxy group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, amino group (NH2), alkylamino group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, glycine residue, β-alanine residue, L-amino acid (except for proline and alanine) residue or L-amino-acid amide (except for proline amide and alanine amide) residue. These derivatives also act as autophagy regulators.
