The role of KDEL-tailed cysteine endopeptidases of Arabidopsis (AtCEP2 and AtCEP1) in root development. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Plants encode a unique group of papain-type cysteine endopeptidases (CysEP) characterized by a C-terminal KDEL endoplasmic reticulum retention signal (KDEL-CysEP) and an unusually broad substrate specificity.

Frozen fresh blood plasma preserves the functionality of native human α2-macroglobulin

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Human α2-macroglobulin (hα2M) is a large homotetrameric protein involved in the broad inhibition of endopeptidases. Following cleavage within a bait region, hα2M undergoes stepwise transitions from its native, expanded, highly flexible, active ...

Cysteine endopeptidase activity in sprouting potato tubers. [PDF]

open access: yesAgricultural and Biological Chemistry, 1985
The crude fraction extracted at pH 6.0 from sprouting potato tubers (pH 6.0 fraction) hydrolyzed casein and BAN A at pH 6.0. This pH 6.0 fraction contained not only caseinase activity but also gelatinase activity, detected by active staining of PAGE-gel with gelatin, as endopeptidases, and both activities increased during sprouting of tubers.

Anti-Fungal Hevein-like Peptides Biosynthesized from Quinoa Cleavable Hololectins

open access: yesMolecules, 2021
Chitin-binding hevein-like peptides (CB-HLPs) belong to a family of cysteine-rich peptides that play important roles in plant stress and defense mechanisms. CB-HLPs are ribosomally synthesized peptides that are known to be bioprocessed from the following

Intracellular Porphyromonas gingivalis Promotes the Proliferation of Colorectal Cancer Cells via the MAPK/ERK Signaling Pathway

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020
Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) is a keystone pathogen in periodontitis. However, several clinical studies have revealed an enrichment of P. gingivalis in the stool samples and colorectal mucosa of colorectal cancer patients.
