Secreted cystatins decrease proliferation and enhance apoptosis of human leukemic cells

FEBS Open Bio, 2020
Cysteine proteases are implicated in proteolysis events favoring cancer cell growth, spread, and death by apoptosis. Herein, we have studied whether the net growth and survival of the leukemic cell lines Jurkat, U937, and HL‐60 are affected by external ...

Optimization of Production Protocol of Alkaline Protease by Streptomyces pulvereceus [PDF]

arXiv, 2010
Extra cellular alkaline protease producing species is an isolate from soil which was characterized and identified as Streptomyces pulvereceus MTCC 8374. Studies on submerged fermentation revealed that maximum level of enzyme production was during early stationary phase.

Spatiotemporal Control Over Protein Release from Artificial Cells via a Light‐Activatable Protease

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
Stimulus‐responsive protein release is essential for intercellular communication. Mimicking this functionality in artificial cells is promising to study the working principles of cellular signaling. Herein, an engineered light‐activatable protease is implemented in a coacervate‐based artificial cell platform to establish user‐defined spatiotemporal ...

Characterization of the Hemagglutinin Cleaving Transmembrane Serine Proteases Matriptase and TMPRSS2 [PDF]

, 2019
Influenza is one of the commonest infectious diseases affecting millions of people every year including 290,000 – 650,000 heavy casualties. Influenza viruses undergo constant genetic changes and every 10 – 50 years new influenza virus strains emerge that

The Regulation of Trace Metal Elements in Cancer Ferroptosis

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
The induction of ferroptosis inhibits tumor growth, enhances anticancer efficacy, and overcomes drug resistance. Recent evidence shows nonferrous metal elements play a role in ferroptosis. This review focuses on how trace metals regulate ferroptosis processes like iron accumulation, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant defense.

Role of cytochrome c heme lyase in the import of cytochrome c into mitochondria [PDF]

, 1988
The import of cytochrome c into Neurospora crassa mitochondria was examined at distinct stages in vitro. The precursor protein, apocytochrome c, binds to mitochondria with high affinity and specificity but is not transported completely across the outer ...

High-Level Expression of Various Apolipoprotein (a) Isoforms by "Transferrinfection". The Role of Kringle IV Sequences in the Extracellular Association with Low-Density Lipoprotein [PDF]

, 1994
Characterization of the assembly of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is of fundamental importance to understanding the biosynthesis and metabolism of this atherogenic lipoprotein. Since no established cell lines exist that express Lp(a) or apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)

Intraoral Drug Delivery: Bridging the Gap Between Academic Research and Industrial Innovations

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Intraoral drug delivery offers a promising route for systemic and localized therapies, yet challenges such as enzymatic degradation, limited permeability, and microbial interactions hinder efficacy. This figure highlights innovative strategies—mucoadhesive materials, enzyme inhibitors, and permeation enhancers—to overcome these barriers.

Inhibition of the Main Protease 3CL-pro of the Coronavirus Disease 19 via Structure-Based Ligand Design and Molecular Modeling [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
We have applied a computational strategy, based on the synergy of virtual screening, docking and molecular dynamics techniques, aimed at identifying possible lead compounds for the non-covalent inhibition of the main protease 3CL-pro of the SARS-Cov2 Coronavirus.

Structural modeling and functional analysis of the essential ribosomal processing protease Prp from Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]

, 2017
In Firmicutes and related bacteria, ribosomal large subunit protein L27 is encoded with a conserved N-terminal extension that is removed to expose residues critical for ribosome function. Bacteria encoding L27 with this N-terminal extension also encode a
