Plant cystatins have been the object of intense research since the publication of a first paper reporting their existence more than 20 years ago. These ubiquitous inhibitors of Cys proteases play several important roles in plants, from the control of various physiological and cellular processes in planta to the inhibition of exogenous Cys proteases ...

Recombinant cystatins in plants
Biochimie, 2019Dozens of studies have assessed the practical value of plant cystatins as ectopic inhibitors of Cys proteases in biological systems. The potential of these proteins in crop protection to control herbivorous pests and pathogens has been documented extensively over the past 25 years.

Annals of Clinical Biochemistry: International Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2002
Clinical biochemists have long known the analytical and clinical limitations of creatinine and creatinine clearance measurement in the assessment of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). This background is reviewed in the article before assessing the utility of cystatin C, the most promising replacement biochemical marker yet identified.

Immunomodulatory properties of cystatins
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences (CMLS), 2002Cystatins are natural tight-binding reversible inhibitors of cysteine proteases. Because these cysteine proteases exist in all living organisms and because they are involved in various biological and pathological processes, the control of these protease functions by cystatins is of cardinal importance.

Our recent work on the gene structures for human salivary (S-type) cystatins [Saitoh, E. et al. (1987) Gene 61, 329-338] has suggested that the structures of cystatins which we determined previously at the protein level lack N-terminal peptide portions of the full-sized intact forms. In the present study, attempts were made to isolate full-sized S-type

Cystatins of Parasitic Organisms
2011The cystatin superfamily comprises several groups of protease inhibitors. In this chapter we will focus on I25 family members, which consist predominantly of the type 2 cystatins. Recently, a wealth of information on these molecules and their activities has been described.

Salivary cystatin activity and cystatin C in experimental gingivitis in non‐smokers
Journal of Clinical Periodontology, 2003AbstractBackground: Subjects with natural gingivitis and periodontitis have elevated levels of salivary cystatins compared to periodontally healthy individuals. Experimental gingivitis studies, however, have yielded conflicting results.Aim: The present study investigated whether experimentally induced gingivitis is associated with changes in salivary

Abstract The contribution of pericellular proteolysis to tumor progression is well documented. To better understand protease biology and facilitate clinical translation, specific proteolytic systems need to be better defined. In particular, the precise role of endogenous protease inhibitors still needs to be deciphered.

As mentioned in chapter 1, Elzanowski and colleagues were the first to make a real connection between the fetuins, the kininogens and the other members of the cystatin superfamily.1 The idea of a cystatin superfamily was born when it was realized that repeated cystatin-like sequences were present in the kininogens2 and that the stefins were quite ...
