Identification of semicarbazones, thiosemicarbazones and triazine nitriles as inhibitors of Leishmania mexicana cysteine protease CPB [PDF]

, 2013
Cysteine proteases of the papain superfamily are present in nearly all eukaryotes. They play pivotal roles in the biology of parasites and inhibition of cysteine proteases is emerging as an important strategy to combat parasitic diseases such as sleeping

Heparin modulates the endopeptidase activity of Leishmania mexicana cysteine protease cathepsin L-Like rCPB2.8 [PDF]

, 2013
Cysteine protease B is considered crucial for the survival and infectivity of the Leishmania in its human host. Several microorganism pathogens bind to the heparin-like glycosaminoglycans chains of proteoglycans at host-cell surface to promote their ...

The Role of Cysteine Peptidases in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Differentiation and Modulation of Immune System Function

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Cysteine cathepsins are primarily involved in the degradation and recycling of proteins in endo-lysosomal compartments but are also gaining recognition as pivotal proteolytic contributors to various immune functions.

The Homology Modeling and Docking Investigation of Human Cathepsin B [PDF]

International Journal of Medical Toxicology and Forensic Medicine, 2020
Background: Cathepsin B comprises a group of lysosomal cysteine proteases belonging to the Papain family; it has an intracellular function in the process of protein catabolism, antigen processing in the immune response, and Alzheimer’s disease.

Genome-Wide Identification, Evolutionary Analysis, and Expression Patterns of Cathepsin Superfamily in Black Rockfish (Sebastes schlegelii) following Aeromonas salmonicida Infection

Marine Drugs, 2022
Cathepsins are lysosomal cysteine proteases belonging to the papain family and play crucial roles in intracellular protein degradation/turnover, hormone maturation, antigen processing, and immune responses.

The role of lysosomal cysteine proteases in tumor progression

Бюллетень сибирской медицины, 2009
Cysteine cathepsins have been known for a long time to play an important role in cancer progression. Here we summarize their impact to the hallmark processes of malignant growth such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis.

Multiple Roles for Cysteine Cathepsins in Cancer [PDF]

Cell Cycle, 2004
Cysteine cathepsins are a family of proteases that have recently emerged as important players in cancer, and have variously been reported to be involved in apoptosis, angiogenesis, cell proliferation, and invasion. In normal cells, cysteine cathepsins are typically localized in lysosomes and other intracellular compartments, and are involved in protein

Differential Role of Cathepsins S and B In Hepatic APC-Mediated NKT Cell Activation and Cytokine Secretion

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Natural killer T (NKT) cells exhibit a specific tissue distribution, displaying the liver the highest NKT/conventional T cell ratio. Upon antigen stimulation, NKT cells secrete Th1 cytokines, including interferon γ (IFNγ), and Th2 cytokines, including IL-
