dppV — Aspergillus fumigatus

Summary

AFU2G09030 (symbol dppV) on Aspergillus fumigatus chromosome 2 encodes a serine-type endopeptidase with aminopeptidase activity, belonging to the Peptidase_S9 and AB_hydrolase domain families. The gene is associated with proteolysis, secretion, and extracellular localisation. It is linked to spore germination, morphogenesis, and amino acid anabolism. dppV is associated with the host interaction processes of immune evasion, inflammatory and immune responses, and hypersensitivity, as well as with fumagillin anabolism. Related genes in other species encode dipeptidyl-peptidase V (DppV/DPP5).
