Redirecting the Peptide Cleavage Causes Protease Inactivation

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Accepted Article.
Cysteine and serine proteases cleave peptides through covalent catalysis by generating a transient adduct with the N‐terminal part of the substrate after releasing its C‐terminal part. We demonstrate the unique redirection of this event leading to strong enzyme inactivation.

From gene to protein - experimental and clinical studies of ACE2 in blood pressure control and arterial hypertension

Frontiers in Physiology, 2014
Hypertension is a major risk factor for stroke, coronary events, heart and renal failure, and the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays a major role in its pathogenesis.

Absence of Functional Autoantibodies Targeting Angiotensin II Receptor Type 1 and Endothelin‐1 Type A Receptor in Circulation and Purified IgG From Patients With Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare but severe autoimmune disease characterized by immune dysregulation, fibrosis, and vasculopathy. Although previous studies have highlighted the presence of functional autoantibodies targeting the angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AT1) and endothelin‐1 type A receptor (ETAR), leading to autoantibody‐mediated ...

Identification of functionally related enzymes by learning-to-rank methods [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
Enzyme sequences and structures are routinely used in the biological sciences as queries to search for functionally related enzymes in online databases. To this end, one usually departs from some notion of similarity, comparing two enzymes by looking for correspondences in their sequences, structures or surfaces. For a given query, the search operation

An Immunosenescent CD8+ T Cell Subset in Patients with Axial Spondyloarthritis and Psoriatic Arthritis Links Spontaneous Motility to Telomere Shortening and Dysfunction

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective A pathogenetic role of CD8+ T lymphocytes in radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r‐axSpA) and other spondyloarthritis (SpA) is sustained by genome‐wide association studies and by the expansion of public T cell clonotypes in the target tissues.

Onset of experimental severe cardiac fibrosis is mediated by overexpression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 [PDF]

, 2009
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) 2 is a recently identified homologue of ACE. There is great interest in the therapeutic benefit for ACE2 overexpression in the heart.

Serum Type I Interferon Score for Prediction of Clinically Meaningful Disease Progression in Limited Cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective To assess the value of serum type I interferon (IFN) score in predicting clinically meaningful progression in limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (lcSSc) using a novel composite endpoint adopted from the MINIMISE clinical trial. Methods A retrospective, longitudinal lcSSc cohort was identified within a national, multicenter observational ...

Angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion polymorphism does not influence the restenosis rate after coronary stent implantation [PDF]

, 2002
Background. Experimental studies have shown an activation of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) system as a response to endothelial injury. Recent publications have elucidated the hypothesis that the ACE gene polymorphism may influence the level of ...
