The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a dynamic scaffold that orchestrates tissue architecture and cellular communication. A critical but underexplored interplay between proteases and cluster of differentiation molecules (CD) governs ECM turnover and directs cell fate.

The Carboxypeptidase Activity of Cathepsin X is Not Controlled by Endogenous Inhibitors
Acta Chimica Slovenica, 2019 Cysteine cathepsins are peptidases with housekeeping functions that play different specific roles in different tissues. Endogenous peptidase inhibitors, such as cystatins and thyropins are the ultimate way of controlling their activity.

PEG400 regulates Falcipain 2 activity through an allosteric mechanism
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Falcipain‐2 can potentially be leveraged as a drug target due to its critical role as a haemoglobinase during the intra‐erythrocytic stage of Plasmodium falciparum. Here, we investigate the regulation of the proteolytic and haemoglobinase activity of falcipain‐2 in the presence of polyethylene glycol.

Structural and Functional Studies on Human Type 2 Cystatins
, 2002 Proteolytic enzymes are enzymes that hydrolyze peptide bonds in peptides and proteins. This ability to carry out protein degradation is essential for many cellular and extracellular processes that occur in all living organisms.

Proteolytic remodelling of the extracellular matrix by pericytes
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Pericytes are specialised perivascular cells intimately connected with endothelial cells and essential for the maintenance of vascular beds. They contribute to the formation and remodelling of the extracellular matrix by actively secreting proteases and protease inhibitors.

HIV Medicine, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Two‐drug regimens (2DRs) may reduce long‐term drug toxicities and drug‐drug interactions for people with HIV (PWH) on antiretroviral therapy (ART). This study evaluated clinical and laboratory outcomes in PWH who switched from standard ART to dolutegravir and lamivudine (DTG + 3TC) in real‐world settings.

, 2002 Cystatins of two filarial nematodes were studied with regard to their capacity to up-regulate the production of nitric oxide (NO) in vitro, and the effects were analysed. Recombinant cystatin of the human pathogenic filaria Onchocerca volvulus and of the

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.Parasitoid wasps deploy maternal and embryonic factors to reprogramme host physiology. Venom, calyx fluid, polydnaviruses, teratocytes and larval secretions act in a coordinated, compartmentalised manner. Host‐regulation factors are promising sources of insecticidal, antimicrobial and bioinspired translational molecules.

, 2022 The evolutionary aspects of cystatins are greatly underexplored in early-emerging metazoans. Thus, we surveyed the gene organization, protein architecture, and phylogeny of cystatin homologues mined from 110 genomes and the transcriptomes of 58 basal ...
