CHANGES IN LEVELS OF ACTIVITY OF SERINE PROTEASES ACCOMPANY THE EXPOSURE OF COMMON BEAN (PHASEOLUS VULGARIS L.) TO WATER DEFICIT [PDF]

Poljoprivreda, 2008
A wide variety of proteolytic enzymes exist in plants. On their levels depends protein turnover, a fundamental component in plant development and adaptation to environmental conditions. Cysteine proteases have frequently been reported to be influenced by

Functional Divergence of the Arg/N‐Degron Pathway Between the Crop Brassica rapa and the Model Plant Arabidopsis thaliana

Plant Direct, Volume 10, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The ubiquitin‐dependent Arg/N‐degron pathway relates the stability of a substrate protein to the nature of its N‐terminal amino acid residue or its biochemical modifications, with some N‐terminal residues being recognized by specific E3 ubiquitin ligases, resulting in the ubiquitylation and degradation of the substrate protein.

CD13 expression affects glioma patient survival and influences key functions of human glioblastoma cell lines in vitro

BMC Cancer
CD13 (APN) is an Alanyl-Aminopeptidase with diverse functions. The role of CD13 for gliomas is still unknown. In this study, data of glioma patients obtained by TCGA and CGGA databases were used to evaluate the survival rate and prognostic value of CD13 ...

Enhanced below‐ground functioning is associated with higher plant resistance against drought: Implications for ecosystem functions

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 3, March 2026.
The results suggest that the subordinate species achieves higher drought resistance in biomass and soil functions via increased below‐ground functioning. The data presented here provide a basis to explain the underlying mechanisms behind the response of grassland communities and their C cycling to drought.

Secreted Proteases from Dermatophytes [PDF]

, 2018
Dermatophytes are highly specialized pathogenic fungi that exclusively infect the stratum corneum, nails or hair, and it is evident that secreted proteolytic activity is important for their virulence.

Multi‐Omics Reveals Phenethyl Acetate and Its Producer Lactiplantibacillus plantarum as Key Drivers of Enhanced Palatability in Alfalfa Silage

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2026.
The quality and flavour profile of silage affect its palatability and the feed intake of ruminants. This study offers a novel strategy for optimising the synergistic fermentation of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and phenylethyl acetate, thereby enhancing alfalfa silage flavour quality and promoting sheep feed intake.

Clathrins Are Involved in the Endocytosis of Host Cytosol in the Malaria Parasite

Traffic, Volume 27, Issue 1, March 2026.
This study characterized clathrin function in hemoglobin uptake from host red blood cells via the malaria parasite's specific endocytosis machinery, cytostome. Clathrin heavy chain, clathrin light chain, and AP‐1 γ subunit were found associated with certain proteins known to be involved in cytostome function, and they were localized at the collars of ...
