Recombinant cystatin ingestion by Diaphorina citri reduces insect survival: insights into the HLB host–bacteria interaction (D. citri–CLas) focused on DcCathL studies [PDF]
Frontiers in Insect ScienceHuanglongbing (HLB) is considered the most serious Citrus disease for which there are currently no effective control methods. The putative agents of HLB, Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), and the vector Diaphorina citri, are widespread in citrus ...

Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved, 2010 Cystatins, the classical inhibitors of C1 cysteine proteinases, have been extensively studied and reviewed in the literature. Over the last 20 years, however, proteins containing cystatin domains but lacking protease inhibitory activities have been identified, and most likely more will be described in the near future.

Cystatins as calpain inhibitors: Engineered chicken cystatin- and stefin B-kininogen domain 2 hybrids support a cystatin-like mode of interaction with the catalytic subunit of μ-calpain [PDF]
, 2001 Within the cystatin superfamily, only kininogen domain 2 (KD2) is able to inhibit μ- and m-calpain. In an attempt to elucidate the structural requirements of cystatins for calpain inhibition, we constructed recombinant hybrids of human stefin B (an ...

Differential in vitro and in vivo effect of barley cysteine and serine protease inhibitors on phytopathogenic microorganisms [PDF]
, 2011 Protease inhibitors from plants have been involved in defence mechanisms against pests and pathogens. Phytocystatins and trypsin/α-amylase inhibitors are two of the best characterized protease inhibitor families in plants.

Cystatin C and cystatin SN as possible soluble tumor markers in malignant uveal melanoma
Radiology and Oncology, 2021 The aim of the study was to determine the concentration of endogenous cystatin C and cystatin SN, as potential tumor biomarkers, in the serum and biological fluids of the eye in both healthy controls and patients with uveal melanoma.

How Different Snacks Produce a Distinct Effect in Salivary Protein Composition
Molecules, 2021 Saliva secretion changes in response to different stimulation. Studies performed in animals and humans suggest that dietary constituents may influence saliva composition, although the dynamics of these changes, and how they are specific for each type of ...
