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

Comparative proteome analysis of the ligamentum flavum of patients with lumbar spinal canal stenosis
This study investigated the pathology of thickened ligamentum flavum in patients with lumbar spinal canal stenosis (LSCS) based on protein expression levels using shotgun proteome analysis. The results showed that tissue repair via fibrosis, chondrometaplasia, and amyloid deposits may be important pathologies that occur in the thickened ligamentum ...

The Structure and Organization of Two Cysteine Endopeptidase Genes from Rice [PDF]
REP-1 is a major cysteine endopeptidase that digests seed storage glutelin of rice. A cDNA clone (pRP60) for REP-1 and a cDNA clone (pRP80) for a related enzyme were previously isolated. The expression of both mRNAs is regulated by gibberellin. In this study, we revealed the structure and organization of Rep1 and RepA, genes corresponding to pRP60 and ...

Novel broad-spectrum activity-based probes to profile malarial cysteine proteases.
Clan CA cysteine proteases, also known as papain-like proteases, play important roles throughout the malaria parasite life cycle and are therefore potential drug targets to treat this disease and prevent its transmission. In order to study the biological
