What’s the importance of peptidases in cancer? [PDF]

open access: yesEinstein (São Paulo), 2009
A synonym for a successful tumor spread is a productive invasive cell migration, a process by which the extracellular matrix plays the role of substrate for cells to move and reach a secondary site.

P. aeruginosa CtpA protease adopts a novel activation mechanism to initiate the proteolytic process

open access: yesThe EMBO Journal
During bacterial cell growth, hydrolases cleave peptide cross-links between strands of the peptidoglycan sacculus to allow new strand insertion.

In Silico to In Cerebro—Development of the Orexin Receptor Antagonist “Photorexant” for Photomodulation In Vitro and in Mouse Brains

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Following a structure‐based design approach, photoswitchable derivatives of the FDA‐approved drug suvorexant were designed, docked, synthesized, and characterized pharmacologically at the orexin 1 and 2 receptors (OX1R and OX2R). Optimized “photorexant” showed up to an 11‐fold difference in IC50 between photoisomers, enabled dynamic and reversible ...

Enzimas proteolíticas relacionadas con la enfermedad periodontal inflamatoria

open access: yesRevista Cubana de Estomatología, 1998
La enfermedad periodontal inflamatoria ocasiona la destrucción de los tejidos que protegen y soportan al diente; es por eso de gran importancia el papel que pueden desempeñar las enzimas que sean capaces de degradar la matriz del tejido conectivo, como ...

Cell Wall Hydrolases in Bacteria: Insight on the Diversity of Cell Wall Amidases, Glycosidases and Peptidases Toward Peptidoglycan

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
The cell wall (CW) of bacteria is an intricate arrangement of macromolecules, at least constituted of peptidoglycan (PG) but also of (lipo)teichoic acids, various polysaccharides, polyglutamate and/or proteins. During bacterial growth and division, there

Cloning of Synthetic Lipase Gene from Rhizomucor miehei with Original Signal Peptide in Pichia pastoris

open access: yesMicrobiology Indonesia, 2017
Lipases (EC 3.1.1.3) are classified as hydrolases that hydrolyze lipids. These enzymes have potential application in biotechnology and industrial process. In previous study we have cloned the synthetic Rhizomucor miehei lipase gene using the vector pUC57

Proteolysis sensitizes LDL particles to phospholipolysis by secretory phospholipase A2 group V and secretory sphingomyelinase

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2010
LDL particles that enter the arterial intima become exposed to proteolytic and lipolytic modifications. The extracellular hydrolases potentially involved in LDL modification include proteolytic enzymes, such as chymase, cathepsin S, and plasmin, and ...

Optimization-Based Peptide Mass Fingerprinting for Protein Mixture Identification [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
*Motivation:* In current proteome research, peptide sequencing is probably the most widely used method for protein mixture identification. However, this peptide-centric method has its own disadvantages such as the immense volume of tandem Mass ...
