Extensive evolution of cereal ribosome-inactivating proteins translates into unique structural features, activation mechanisms, and physiological roles [PDF]
, 2017 Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are a class of cytotoxic enzymes that can depurinate rRNAs thereby inhibiting protein translation. Although these proteins have also been detected in bacteria, fungi, and even some insects, they are especially ...

The Behavioral Role of Males of Platypus Quercivorus Murayama in Their Subsocial Colonies [PDF]
, 2016 The behavioral role of male ambrosia beetles, Platypus quercivorus, in subsocial colonies both field and laboratory has been investigated. The entrance tunnels, where the male beetles are staying, are short, with a mean 4 cm long and mostly incline ...

GERMAN COCKROACH FRASS PROTEASES CLEAVE PRO-MATRIX METALLOPROTEINASE-9
Experimental Lung Research, 2007 Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9, secreted as pro-MMP-9, is cleaved by serine proteases at the N-terminus to generate active MMP-9. Pro-MMP-9 has been found in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of patients with asthma. Because many inhaled aeroallergens contain active proteases, the authors sought to determine whether German cockroach (GC) fecal ...
