Cathepsin B Is Required for NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation in Macrophages, Through NLRP3 Interaction

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
The mechanisms leading to NOD-leucine rich repeat and pyrin containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation are still debated. It is well established that oligomerized NLRP3 interacts with apoptosis associated Speck-like protein containing a CARD ...

Non-invasive in vivo imaging of tumour-associated cathepsin B by a highly selective inhibitory DARPin [PDF]

open access: yesTheranostics, 2017
Cysteine cathepsins often contribute to cancer progression due to their overexpression in the tumour microenvironment and therefore present attractive targets for non-invasive diagnostic imaging. However, the development of highly selective and versatile

Cathepsin B: Multiple roles in cancer [PDF]

open access: yesPROTEOMICS – Clinical Applications, 2014
Proteases, including intracellular proteases, play roles at many different stages of malignant progression. Our focus here is cathepsin B, a lysosomal cysteine cathepsin. High levels of cathepsin B are found in a wide variety of human cancers, levels that often induce secretion and association of cathepsin B with the tumor cell membrane.

The Homology Modeling and Docking Investigation of Human Cathepsin B [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Medical Toxicology and Forensic Medicine, 2020
Background: Cathepsin B comprises a group of lysosomal cysteine proteases belonging to the Papain family; it has an intracellular function in the process of protein catabolism, antigen processing in the immune response, and Alzheimer’s disease.

Cathepsin B [PDF]

open access: yesDefinitions, 2020
Cathepsin B (339 aa, ~38 kDa) is encoded by the human CTSB gene. This protein plays a role in proteolysis, immunity and the regulation of apoptosis.

Cathepsin B in programmed cell death machinery: mechanisms of execution and regulatory pathways

open access: yesCell Death and Disease, 2023
Cathepsin B (CatB), a cysteine protease, is primarily localized within subcellular endosomal and lysosomal compartments. It is involved in the turnover of intracellular and extracellular proteins.

Selective Neutral pH Inhibitor of Cathepsin B Designed Based on Cleavage Preferences at Cytosolic and Lysosomal pH Conditions.

open access: yesACS Chemical Biology, 2021
Cathepsin B is a cysteine protease that normally functions within acidic lysosomes for protein degradation, but in numerous human diseases, cathepsin B translocates to the cytosol having neutral pH where the enzyme activates inflammation and cell death ...

Molecular Features of CA-074 pH-Dependent Inhibition of Cathepsin B.

open access: yesBiochemistry, 2022
CA-074 is a selective inhibitor of cathepsin B, a lysosomal cysteine protease. CA-074 has been utilized in numerous studies to demonstrate the role of this protease in cellular and physiological functions. Cathepsin B in numerous human disease mechanisms
