PROTEIN INHIBITORS SYNTHESISED BY MICROORGANISMS [PDF]

open access: yesBiotechnologia Acta, 2013
In a review the literature data on protein inhibitors of peptidases synthesised by different types of microorganisms are systematized. It is shown that at the present time on the basis of amino acid sequence homology protein inhibitors are grouped into ...

Natural Marine and Terrestrial Compounds as Modulators of Matrix Metalloproteinases-2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9 in Alzheimer’s Disease

open access: yesPharmaceuticals, 2021
Several studies have reported neuroprotective effects by natural products. A wide range of natural compounds have been investigated, and some of these may play a beneficial role in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) progression. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a

EphB1‐Mediated Transient Blood‐Brain Barrier Opening Facilitates a Ferritin‐Based Nanotherapeutic for Alzheimer's Disease

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We constructed a brain‐targeted AFn‐DPZ nanodrug delivery system and identified EphB1 as its receptor on the blood‐brain barrier (BBB). This system facilitates drug transport across the BBB and thereby ameliorates cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's disease.

Specificity of prolyl endopeptidase [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 1986
A series of tetrapeptides, Cbz(Bz)‐Gly‐X‐Leu‐Gly, were synthesized and the kinetic parameters, k cat and , determined for their hydrolyses by prolyl endopeptidase from Flavobacterium. The peptides with X = N‐Me‐Ala, Sar and Ala as well as the standard substrate (X = Pro) were found to be good substrates, while those with X = α‐aminobutyryl, Hyp, Ser ...

Characterization of the extracellular matrix from human and dog umbilical cords

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The extracellular matrix is important for maintaining tissue morphogenesis and homeostasis; it can also be used as a biomaterial for the production of biological scaffolds. Particularly, the umbilical cord has shown potential in the production of scaffolds for small‐diameter vessels.

Monitoring pharmacodynamic and molecular drug targets in liquid biopsy: Exploratory study in liver cancer with modelling of EGFR Receptor engagement

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Liquid biopsy is minimally invasive (compared with tissue biopsy) and has previously been used to generate systems data regarding drug elimination via hepatic enzymes and transporters. This study extends quantitative assessment of systems parameters in liquid biopsy to pharmacodynamic (PD) and disease markers relevant to cancer development

Involvement of Arabidopsis thaliana endoplasmic reticulum KDEL-tailed cysteine endopeptidase 1 (AtCEP1) in powdery mildew-induced and AtCPR5-controlled cell death. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Programmed cell death (PCD) is a prerequisite for successful development and it limits the spread of biotrophic pathogens in a rapid hypersensitive response at the site of infection.

Phylogenetic analysis of the bacterial Pro-Pro-endopeptidase domain reveals a diverse family including secreted and membrane anchored proteins

open access: yesCurrent Research in Microbial Sciences, 2021
Pro-Pro-endopeptidases (PPEP, EC 3.4.24.89) are secreted, zinc metalloproteases that have the unusual capacity to cleave a peptide bond between two prolines, a bond that is generally less sensitive to proteolytic cleavage. Two well studied members of the

Purification of Advanced Therapeutics by Flow‐Through Pseudo‐Affinity Chromatography: Bi‐Specific mABs, Fc Fusion Proteins, and Adeno‐Associated Viruses

open access: yesBiotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modern biopharmaceutical manufacturing requires purification platforms capable of processing structurally and functionally diverse products while addressing the challenge of removing persistent and high‐risk host cell proteins (HCPs).

Current and emerging therapy for celiac disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine, 2014
At present, strict and lifelong gluten free diet is the only effective treatment for celiac disease. Even small amounts of gluten (50mg/day) can be immunogenic; therefore all food and food items and drugs that contain gluten and its derivatives must be ...
