A novel inhibitor protein for Bombyx cysteine proteinase is homologous to propeptide regions of cysteine proteinases [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 1999
A cDNA clone for an inhibitor of Bombyx cysteine proteinase was isolated and sequenced. Active inhibitor proteins were expressed in Escherichia coli using the cDNA. The open reading frame of the cDNA encodes a 105 residues protein with 19 residues of a signal sequence.

The primary structure of inhibitor of cysteine proteinases from potato [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 1993
The complete amino acid sequence of the cysteine proteinase inhibitor from potato tubers was determined. The inhibitor is a single‐chain protein having 180 amino acid residues. Its primary structure was elucidated by automatic degradation of the intact protein and sequence analysis of peptides generated by CNBr, trypsin and glycyl endopeptidase.

The effects of a plant proteinase inhibitor from Enterolobium contortisiliquum on human tumor cell lines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Supplementary to the efficient inhibition of trypsin, chymotrypsin, plasma kallikrein, and plasmin already described by the EcTI inhibitor from Enterolobium contortisiliquum, it also blocks human neutrophil elastase (K(iapp)=4.3 nM) and prevents phorbol ...

Cystatin-like cysteine proteinase inhibitors of parasitic protozoa [PDF]

open access: yesFEMS Microbiology Letters, 1992
A new method has been developed for detecting cystatins and other cysteine proteinase inhibitors. The method, which involves protein separation by SDS-PAGE followed by a cysteine proteinase overlay step, is more sensitive than previously reported techniques: as little as 1 ng of recombinant human cystatin C can be detected and cysteine proteinase ...

Expression of a barley cystatin gene in maize enhances resistance against phytophagous mites by altering their cysteine-proteases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Phytocystatins are inhibitors of cysteine-proteases from plants putatively involved in plant defence based on their capability of inhibit heterologous enzymes.
