Cysteine Proteinases and the Pathogenesis of Amebiasis [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 2000 SUMMARYAmebiasis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the tropical world. Entamoeba histolytica is now recognized as a separate species from the morphologically identical E. dispar, which cannot invade. Cysteine proteinases are a key virulence factor of E.

Cystatins — Inhibitors of Cysteine Proteinases [PDF]
Critical Reviews in Oral Biology & Medicine, 1992 The cystatin superfamily of proteins, derived from a common ancestor, is comprised of a diverse group of potent cysteine proteinase inhibitors and antibacterial/viral agents grouped into several families. This review concentrates on family 2 cystatins, namely, the human salivary cystatins and cystatin C.

Transcriptional silencing of multiple genes in trophozoites of Entamoeba histolytica. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2006 In a previous work we described the transcriptional silencing of the amoebapore A (AP-A) gene (Ehap-a) of Entamoeba histolytica strain HM-1:IMSS. The silencing occurred following transfection with a plasmid containing a 5' upstream region (473 bp) of ...

Programmed Cell Death Progresses Differentially in Epidermal and Mesophyll Cells of Lily Petals. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 In the petals of some species of flowers, programmed cell death (PCD) begins earlier in mesophyll cells than in epidermal cells. However, PCD progression in each cell type has not been characterized in detail.

Cysteine proteinases of microorganisms and viruses [PDF]
Biochemistry (Moscow), 2008 This review considers properties of secreted cysteine proteinases of protozoa, bacteria, and viruses and presents information on the contemporary taxonomy of cysteine proteinases. Literature data on the structure and physicochemical and enzymatic properties of these enzymes are reviewed.

"Comparison of Adult Somatic and Cysteine Proteinas Antigens of Fasciola gigantica in Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay for Serodiagnosis of Human Fasciolosis" [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Public Health, 2002 Fasciolosis caused by Fasciola hepatica and F.gigantica is one of the major public health problems in the world and in Iran. Considering that stool examination for Fasciola eggs is not a sensitive method and only 25% of infected patients pass the eggs in

Inhibition of Trypanosomal Cysteine Proteinases by Their Propeptides [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1998 The ability of the prodomains of trypanosomal cysteine proteinases to inhibit their active form was studied using a set of 23 overlapping 15-mer peptides covering the whole prosequence of congopain, the major cysteine proteinase of Trypanosoma congolense.
