Entamoeba invadens:Characterization of Cysteine Proteinases

Experimental Parasitology, 1996
Cysteine proteinases have a number of important functions in the life cycle of protozoan parasites. Based on our previous studies demonstrating the role of cysteine proteinases in invasion by Entamoeba histolytica, we evaluated the cysteine proteinases of E. invadens, a related protozoan which causes invasive disease of reptiles.

Evolution of Cysteine Proteinases in Eukaryotes

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 1994
Phylogenetic analyses of the major family of cysteine proteinases of eukaryotes revealed that this family has been characterized by numerous gene duplications, several of which occurred very early in eukaryote evolutionary history. For example, certain cysteine proteinases from plants and animals are homologous to each of the two cysteine proteinases ...

IV. Cysteine proteinases

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1970
Abstract Papain (EC 3.4.4.10) is a proteolytic enzyme which is isolated from the Papaya, a common tropical tree. It is a sulphydryl enzyme and its SH group is required for enzymic activity. Papain as usually prepared (Kimmel & Smith 1954) contains only a small portion of active molecules. The majority of the molecules are inactive

Cysteine proteinase inhibitors in human placenta

Placenta, 1985
When human placental extract was chromatographed on a Sephadex G-75 column, cysteine proteinase inhibitors with molecular weights of 80 000 and 12 300 were eluted. The high molecular weight peak (CPI-H) was identified as alpha-cysteine proteinase inhibitor.

Cysteine proteinase inhibitor levels in semen

Clinical Biochemistry, 1986
New proteinase inhibitors have recently been found in seminal plasma which specifically inhibit cysteine proteinases such as ficin, papain, cathepsin H and cathepsin B. The inhibitors consist of two components, In-A and In-B, both of which are effective in native semen.

Bombyx Cysteine Proteinase Inhibitor (BCPI) Homologous to Propeptide Regions of Cysteine Proteinases Is a Strong, Selective Inhibitor of Cathepsin L-like Cysteine Proteinases

Journal of Biochemistry, 2001
Bombyx cysteine proteinase inhibitor (BCPI) is a novel cysteine proteinase inhibitor. The protein sequence is homologous to the proregions of certain cysteine proteinases. Here we report the mechanism of its inhibition of several cysteine proteinases.

Cysteine proteinase inhibitors in psoriatic epidermis

Archives of Dermatological Research, 1983
Human psoriatic epidermis and scales were demonstrated to contain two antigenically separate cysteine proteinase inhibitors, one acidic with an isoelectric point of 4.7-5.0 (ACPI) and one neutral with an isoelectric point of 6.0-6.5 (NCPI), while normal epidermis contains only ACPI.

A Cysteine-Activated Proteinase of Clostridium Histolyticum

The Journal of Immunology, 1952
Discussion and Summary A cysteine-activated proteolytic enzyme present in culture filtrates of Cl. histolyticum has been purified by fractionation in methanol-water mixtures under controlled conditions of pH, ionic strength, protein concentration and temperature and further purified by differential centrifugation, lyophilization and ...

Osteoclastogenesis is decreased by cysteine proteinase inhibitors

Bone, 2004
The effects of cystatin C and other cysteine proteinase inhibitors on osteoclast formation and differentiation have been investigated. Cystatin C decreased osteoclast formation stimulated by parathyroid hormone (PTH), 1,25(OH)2-vitamin D3 or interleukin-6 (IL-6) (in the presence of its soluble receptor) as assessed by the number of tartrate-resistant ...
