Search for Nodulation and Nodule Development-related cystatin genes in the genome of Soybean (Glycine max)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Nodulation, nodule development and senescence directly affects nitrogen fixation efficiency, and previous studies have shown that inhibition of some cysteine proteases delay nodule senescence, so their nature inhibitors, cystatin genes, are very ...

Parasite cystatins as inhibitors of cysteine proteases: structural aspects of functional specificity and their evolution

, 2023
Members of the cystatin family are important inhibitors of cathepsin-type cysteine proteases and are involved in a number of pathologies. Parasite cystatins are attractive target molecules for parasite control, but our knowledge about them is still ...

Phylogenomic analysis of the cystatin superfamily in eukaryotes and prokaryotes

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009
Background The cystatin superfamily comprises cysteine protease inhibitors that play key regulatory roles in protein degradation processes. Although they have been the subject of many studies, little is known about their genesis, evolution and functional

Cystatins, cysteine peptidase inhibitors, as regulators of immune cell cytotoxicity [PDF]

, 2016
Cystatins comprise a superfamily of evolutionarily related proteins, present in all living organisms, from protozoa to mammals. They act as inhibitors of cysteine peptidases although they can also function independently of their inhibitory function ...

Cystatins - Extra- and Intracellular Cysteine Protease Inhibitors: High-level Secretion and Uptake of Cystatin C in Human Neuroblastoma Cells.

, 2010
Cystatins are present in mammals, birds, fish, insects, plants, fungi and protozoa and constitute a large protein family, with most members sharing a cysteine protease inhibitory function.

Viral cystatin evolution and three-dimensional structure modelling: A case of directional selection acting on a viral protein involved in a host-parasitoid interaction

BMC Biology, 2008
Background In pathogens, certain genes encoding proteins that directly interact with host defences coevolve with their host and are subject to positive selection.
