Systematic Engineering of Proteases in Saccharopolyspora Spinosa Reveals Synergistic Enhancement of Spinosad Biosynthesis via Substrate Flux Optimization

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ARTP mutagenesis yielded Saccharopolyspora spinosa mutant D184 with improved extracellular nitrogen utilization. An integrated workflow of protease genetic manipulation, multi‐omics, and rational synergy design pinpointed a pepP‐clpP‐htpX synergistic triangular combination.

Investigation of a Serine Protease Inhibitor Active in the Infectious Stage of the Human Liver Fluke Opisthorchis viverrini

Pathogens
Serine protease inhibitors (serpins) participate in the regulation of inflammation, blood coagulation, and complement activation in humans. This research aimed to identify and characterize such inhibitors of the human liver fluke Opisthorchis viverrini ...

Characterisation of modified pharmaceutical proteins: the somatropin case [PDF]

, 2010
Somatropin, a recombinant protein containing 191 amino acids, is derived from the endogenous human growth hormone, somatotropin [1]. This protein is clinically used in children and adults with inadequate endogenous growth hormone to stimulate a normal ...

Cell Propagation of Cholera Toxin CTA ADP-Ribosylating Factor by Exosome Mediated Transfer [PDF]

, 2018
In this study, we report how the cholera toxin (CT) A subunit (CTA), the enzyme moiety responsible for signaling alteration in host cells, enters the exosomal pathway, secretes extracellularly, transmits itself to a cell population.

New opportunities for bioscaffold‐enabled spinal cord injury repair

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of bioscaffolds for spinal cord injury repair. We summarize the effects of bioscaffold properties on SCI repair, highlight different types of bioscaffolds, various fabrication strategies, and in vivo transformations for the clinical development of SCI‐repairing bioscaffolds.

Mutational Analysis of Substrate Recognition in Trypsin-like Protease Cocoonase: Protein Memory Induced by Alterations in Substrate-Binding Site

Molecules
To investigate the substrate recognition mechanism of trypsin-like protease cocoonase (CCN), mutational analyses were conducted at key substrate recognition sites, Asp187 and Ser188, and their effects on substrate specificity and enzymatic activity were ...

Recombinant Monoclonal Antibodies for Detecting the Tubulin Post‐Translational Modifications Glutamylation and Lysine‐40 Acetylation

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Post‐translational modifications (PTMs) to tubulin subunits in microtubule filaments are thought to comprise a component of the tubulin code that specifies microtubule functions in cell physiology and animal development. Acetylation of Lysine‐40 (K40) on α‐tubulin (αTub‐K40ac) and glutamylation of both α‐ and β‐tubulin are two tubulin PTMs of ...

Phosphatidic acid mediates the targeting of tBid to induce lysosomal membrane permeabilization and apoptosis

Journal of Lipid Research, 2012
Upon apoptotic stimuli, lysosomal proteases, including cathepsins and chymotrypsin, are released into cytosol due to lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP), where they trigger apoptosis via the lysosomal-mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis. Herein, the
