Membrane-Permeable Calpain Inhibitors Promote Rat Oral Mucosal Epithelial Cell Proliferation by Inhibiting IL-1α Signaling. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
To standardise regenerative medicine using cultured cells, the use of serum-free, chemically defined media will be necessary. We have reported that IL-1α inhibits the growth of epithelial cells in culture and that recombinant IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-

Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Activity of Extracellular Vesicle Inhibitors: Screening, Validation, and Combination with Remdesivir

Biomedicines, 2021
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic severely impacts health, economy, and society worldwide. Antiviral drugs against SARS-CoV-2 are urgently needed to cope with this global crisis. It has been found that the biogenesis and release mechanisms

Dataset of cathepsin L-like CP inhibition of Naegleria fowleri and Acanthamoeba castellanii by ppTvCP4r from Trichomonas vaginalis

Data in Brief, 2018
The recombinant TvCP4 prepro region (ppTvCP4r) acts as an exogenous inhibitor of cathepsin L-like CPs from Trichomonas vaginalis (Cárdenas-Guerra et al., 2015 [1]). Here, we present the dataset of the trichomonad ppTvCP4r inhibitory effect against the CP

Genealogy of mammalian cysteine proteinase inhibitors Common evolutionary origin of stefins, cystatins and kininogens [PDF]

, 1985
A model for the evolution of mammalian cysteine proteinase inhibitors has been constructed on the basis of sequence homology. This model suggests that the diversity of cysteine proteinase inhibitors has evolved from two ancestral units forming the ...

Characterization and Differentiation of Grain Proteomes from Wild-Type Puroindoline and Variants in Wheat

Plants, 2023
Premium wheat with a high end-use quality is generally lacking in China, especially high-quality hard and soft wheat. Pina-D1 and Pinb-D1 (puroindoline genes) influence wheat grain hardness (i.e., important wheat quality-related parameter) and are among ...

Cysteine proteinase inhibitors: purification and gene isolation [PDF]

, 1989
Genetic engineering has produced a transgenic insect- resistant plant which produces a serine protease inhibitor (Hilder et al., 1987). More insects can be targetted if a plant can be made to produce thiol protease inhibitors.

Peripheral lysosomes recruit PLEKHG3 to focal adhesions and restrain protrusion dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proximity‐dependent labeling at the LAMTOR complex revealed the Rho GEF PLEKHG3 as a lysosome‐proximal protein directing the study toward the influence of lysosome positioning on actin dynamics and cell motility. We show that PLEKHG3 colocalizes with lysosomes at focal adhesion sites and observe that forced peripheral dispersion of lysosomes hinders ...

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Role of Proteases in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2017
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is generally associated with progressive destruction of airways and lung parenchyma. Various factors play an important role in the development and progression of COPD, like imbalance of proteases ...
