A food-grade enzyme preparation with modest gluten detoxification properties. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Celiac sprue is a life-long disease characterized by an intestinal inflammatory response to dietary gluten. A gluten-free diet is an effective treatment for most patients, but accidental ingestion of gluten is common, leading to incomplete recovery or ...

The Structure and Organization of Two Cysteine Endopeptidase Genes from Rice [PDF]
Plant and Cell Physiology, 1999 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 ...

Papain-like peptidases: structure, function, and evolution
Biomolecular Concepts, 2013 Papain-like cysteine peptidases are a diverse family of peptidases found in most known organisms. In eukaryotes, they are divided into multiple evolutionary groups, which can be clearly distinguished on the basis of the structural characteristics of the ...

Proteases that degrade the biofilm matrix
Zdorovʹe Rebenka, 2020 Biofilms protect bacteria from the action of antibacterial drugs and are one of the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance of infections. Destruction of the bacterial biofilm matrix leads to the release of bacteria and they again become vulnerable to ...

Purification and Characterization of a Cysteine Endopeptidase in Cotyledons of Germinated Mung Bean Seeds [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1990 A cysteine endopeptidase (EC 3.4.22.-) present in cotyledons of mung bean (Vigna radiata) seedlings was purified to homogeneity, as judged by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). This proteinase has an apparent molecular mass of 33 kilodaltons as estimated by SDS-PAGE and belongs to the class of cysteine proteinases as ...

Structure of the streptococcal endopeptidase IdeS, a cysteine proteinase with strict specificity for IgG [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2004 Pathogenic bacteria have developed complex and diverse virulence mechanisms that weaken or disable the host immune defense system. IdeS (IgG-degrading e nzyme of Streptococcus pyogenes ) is a secreted cysteine endopeptidase from the human pathogen S.

Hormonal Regulation of Expression of Two Cysteine Endopeptidase Genes in Rice Seedlings [PDF]
Plant and Cell Physiology, 1997 Two cDNA probes (pRP60 and pRP80) were used to examine the hormonal regulation of expression of two cysteine endopeptidase genes in germinated whole seeds and de-embryonated seeds of rice. The pRP60 protein is a major rice cysteine endopeptidase named REP-1 that digests rice glutelin, the main seed storage protein.
