Cystatins as calpain inhibitors: Engineered chicken cystatin- and stefin B-kininogen domain 2 hybrids support a cystatin-like mode of interaction with the catalytic subunit of μ-calpain [PDF]
, 2001 Within the cystatin superfamily, only kininogen domain 2 (KD2) is able to inhibit μ- and m-calpain. In an attempt to elucidate the structural requirements of cystatins for calpain inhibition, we constructed recombinant hybrids of human stefin B (an ...

The cystatins: Protein inhibitors of cysteine proteinases
FEBS Letters, 1991 The last decade has witnessed enormous progress of protein inhibitors of cysteine proteinases concerning their structures, functions and evolutionary relationships. Although they differ in their molecular properties and biological distribution, they are structurally related proteins.

Cysteine proteinases and cystatins
Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2003 This review describeds the definition, localization, functions and examples of cysteine proteinases and their protein inhibitors in vertebrate, non-vertebrate animals and plants. These inhibitors are related with defense mechanisms of plant against pests.

An overview of Phoneutria nigriventer spider venom using combined transcriptomic and proteomic approaches. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Phoneutria nigriventer is one of the largest existing true spiders and one of the few considered medically relevant. Its venom contains several neurotoxic peptides that act on different ion channels and chemical receptors of vertebrates and invertebrates.

The cysteine proteinase inhibitor chicken cystatin is a phosphoprotein [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1989 Peptide maps obtained by reversed‐phase HPLC of tryptic digests of isoelectric form 1 (pI=6.5) and 2 (pI=5.6) of chicken egg white cystatin revealed that the difference was located only in a single peptide (residues Ser‐74—Lys‐91). Ser‐80 of cystatin 2 was subsequently identified as being modified by phosphorylation.

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