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.

Inhibition of Plant-Pathogenic Fungi by the Barley Cystatin Hv-CPI (Gene Icy) Is Not Associated with Its Cysteine-Proteinase Inhibitory Properties

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2003
The recombinant barley cystatin Hv-CPI inhibited the growth of three phytopathogenic fungi (Botrytis cinerea, Colletotrichum graminicola, and Plectosphaerella cucumerina) and the saprotrophic fungus Trichoderma viride.

Cysteine peptidases and their inhibitors in breast and genital cancer.

Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica, 2010
Cysteine proteinases and their inhibitors probably play the main role in carcinogenesis and metastasis. The metastasis process need external proteolytic activities that pass several barriers which are membranous structures of the connective tissue which ...

Use of a cysteine proteinase from Carica candamarcensis as a protective agent during DNA extraction

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1998
We describe the use of a plant cysteine proteinase isolated from latex of Carica candamarcensis as a protective agent during isolation of bacterial DNA following growth in culture of these cells.

Development of an in vitro cleavage assay system to examine vaccinia virus I7L cysteine proteinase activity

Virology Journal, 2005
Through the use of transient expression assays and directed genetics, the vaccinia virus (VV) I7L gene product has been implicated as the major maturational proteinase required for viral core protein cleavage to occur during virion assembly.

EndoS from Streptococcus pyogenes is hydrolyzed by the cysteine proteinase SpeB and requires glutamic acid 235 and tryptophans for IgG glycan-hydrolyzing activity

BMC Microbiology, 2008
Background The endoglycosidase EndoS and the cysteine proteinase SpeB from the human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes are functionally related in that they both hydrolyze IgG leading to impairment of opsonizing antibodies and thus enhance bacterial ...
