Maturation of subtilisin-like protease NbSLP1 from microsporidia Nosema bombycis

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Microsporidia are obligate intracellular parasites and possess a unique way of invading hosts, namely germination. Microsporidia are able to infect almost all animal cells by germination. During the process, the polar tube extrudes from the spores within,
