The protease code of the bacterial gut microbiota: ecological regulation, barrier disruption, and rewiring host defense and signaling [PDF]
Gut MicrobesThe human gastrointestinal tract is home to a dense and diverse microbial ecosystem that functions as a complex superorganism. Yet, the enzymatic machinery responsible for orchestrating this coexistence remains underexplored.

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023 We have previously demonstrated that deletion of an intracellular leucine aminopeptidase results in attenuated virulence of S. aureus. Herein we explore the role of 10 other aminopeptidases in S. aureus pathogenesis. Using a human blood survival assay we

Proteomic Studies to Understand the Mechanisms of Peach Tissue Degradation by Monilinia laxa
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Monilinia laxa is a necrotrophic plant pathogen able to infect and produce substantial losses on stone fruit. Three different isolates of M. laxa were characterized according to their aggressiveness on nectarines. M.

Lysosomal peptidases—intriguing roles in cancer progression and neurodegeneration
FEBS Open Bio, 2022 Lysosomal peptidases are hydrolytic enzymes capable of digesting waste proteins that are targeted to lysosomes via endocytosis and autophagy. Besides intracellular protein catabolism, they play more specific roles in several other cellular processes and ...
