Toxin release mediated by the novel autolysin Cwp19 in Clostridium difficile
Microbial Cell, 2018 Clostridium difficile, also known as Clostriodioides difficile, is a Gram positive, spore-forming bacterium and a leading cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea in nosocomial environments. The key virulence factors of this pathogen are two toxins, toxin

Cathepsin E (EC 3.4.23.34) — a review
Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica, 2012 Cathepsin E belongs to the third class of enzymes — hydrolases, a subclass of peptide bond hydrolases and a sub-subclass of endopeptidases with aspartic catalytic sites. Cathepsin E is an endopeptidase with substrate specificity similar to that
