Metalloprotease meprin beta in rat kidney: glomerular localization and differential expression in glomerulonephritis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2008
Meprin (EC 3.4.24.18) is an oligomeric metalloendopeptidase found in microvillar membranes of kidney proximal tubular epithelial cells. Here, we present the first report on the expression of meprin beta in rat glomerular epithelial cells and suggest a ...

Extracellular matrix and dermal nerve growth factor dysregulation in prurigo nodularis compared to atopic dermatitis

Frontiers in Medicine, 2022
Prurigo nodularis (PN) is a chronic, pruritic, inflammatory skin disease characterized by hyperkeratotic nodules on the trunk and extremities. While there is growing research on the immunological basis of PN, the neuropathic and structural components of ...

Crystal structure of a thermophilic GrpE protein: insight into thermosensing function for the DnaK chaperone system. [PDF]

, 2010
A homodimeric GrpE protein functions as a nucleotide exchange factor of the eubacterium DnaK molecular chaperone system. The co-chaperone GrpE accelerates ADP dissociation from, and promotes ATP binding to, DnaK, which cooperatively facilitates the DnaK ...

The astacin family of metalloendopeptidases [PDF]

Protein Science, 1995
AbstractThe astacin family of metalloendopeptidases was recognized as a novel family of proteases in the 1990s. The crayfish enzyme astacin was the first characterized and is one of the smallest members of the family. More than 20 members of the family have now been identified.
