Multi-omics of NET formation and correlations with CNDP1, PSPB, and L-cystine levels in severe and mild COVID-19 infections

open access: yesHeliyon, 2023
The detailed mechanisms of COVID-19 infection pathology remain poorly understood. To improve our understanding of SARS-CoV-2 pathology, we performed a multi-omics and correlative analysis of an immunologically naïve SARS-CoV-2 clinical cohort from blood ...

The Bacillus subtilis signaling protein SpoIVB defines a new family of serine peptidases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The protein SpoIVB plays a key role in signaling in the sigma (K) checkpoint of Bacillus subtilis. This regulatory mechanism coordinates late gene expression during development in this organism and we have recently shown SpoIVB to be a serine peptidase ...

Urinary felinine excretion in intact male cats is increased by dietary cystine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Felinine is a branched-chain sulfur amino acid present in the urine of certain Felidae, including domestic cats. The objective of the present study was to determine if additional cystine and/or dietary N would increase felinine and N-acetylfelinine ...

Fruit ripening-associated leucylaminopeptidase with cysteinylglycine dipeptidase activity from durian suggests its involvement in glutathione recycling

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2021
Background Durian (Durio zibethinus L.) is a highly popular fruit in Thailand and several other Southeast Asian countries. It is abundant in essential nutrients and sulphur-containing compounds such as glutathione (GSH) and γ-glutamylcysteine (γ-EC ...

ArgR is an essential local transcriptional regulator of the arcABC-operon in Streptococcus suis and crucial for biological fitness in acidic environment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Streptococcus suis is one of the most important pathogens in pigs and can also cause severe infections in humans. Despite its clinical relevance very little is known about the factors contributing to its virulence.

A proteinaceous organic matrix regulates carbonate mineral production in the marine teleost intestine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Marine teleost fish produce CaCO(3) in their intestine as part of their osmoregulatory strategy. This precipitation is critical for rehydration and survival of the largest vertebrate group on earth, yet the molecular mechanisms that regulate this ...

Circulating carnosine dipeptidase 1 associates with weight loss and poor prognosis in gastrointestinal cancer.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
BackgroundCancer cachexia (CC) is linked to poor prognosis. Although the mechanisms promoting this condition are not known, several circulating proteins have been proposed to contribute.

DIPEPTIDYL PEPTIDASE-4 REGULATION OF SDF-1/CXCR4 AXIS: IMPLICATIONS FOR CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2015
Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) is a ubiquitously expressed protease that regulates a diverse number of physiologic functions. As a dipeptidase it exerts its catalytic effects on proteins/peptides with proline, alanine or serine in the penultimate (P1 ...

The toxicity of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors to larvae of the disease vectors Aedes aegypti and Anopheles gambiae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The control of mosquitoes is threatened by the appearance of insecticide resistance and therefore new control chemicals are urgently required. Here we show that inhibitors of mosquito peptidyl dipeptidase, a peptidase related to mammalian angiotensin ...
