Parasitology Research, 2023
The members of genus Acanthamoeba are the etiological agent of uncommon but severe or even fatal opportunistic infections in human beings. The presence of different classes of intracellular and extracellular proteases including serine proteases, cysteine proteases, and metalloproteases has been well documented in environmental and clinical isolates of ...

Proteases, protease inhibitors and radiation carcinogenesis
International Journal of Radiation Biology, 2021The purpose of the studies described in this mini review article was to identify nontoxic compounds that could prevent or suppress the radiation induced malignant transformation of cells and be useful as human cancer preventive agents.(1) Many different types of potential anticarcinogenic substances were evaluated initially for their abilities to ...

Current Opinion in Gastroenterology, 2023
Purpose of review Proteases constitute a group of enzymes that hydrolyze peptide bonds. Intestinal proteases are an integral part of gut homeostasis and digestion. This review discusses the broader classification of proteases, regulation of proteolytic activity (PA) in the intestinal tract, and how dysregulation of intestinal ...

Proteases and protease inhibitors in infectious diseases
Medicinal Research Reviews, 2017AbstractThere are numerous proteases of pathogenic organisms that are currently targeted for therapeutic intervention along with many that are seen as potential drug targets. This review discusses the chemical and biological makeup of some key druggable proteases expressed by the five major classes of disease causing agents, namely bacteria, viruses ...

Current Protocols in Protein Science, 2000
AbstractThe processes of growth and remodeling of cells and tissues in multicellular organisms require the breakdown of old protein molecules, in concert with the synthesis of new ones. For example, many newly‐synthesized molecules require proteolytic processing to convert them to biologically active forms.

Proteases and protease inhibitors in cancer
Acta Histochemica, 1998The second conference on 'Proteases and protease inhibitors in cancer' was organized by the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) and Acta Pathologica Microbiologica et Immunologica Scandinavica (APMIS). To understand the role of proteinases and to develop relevant synthetic inhibitors to stop or slow the progression of cancer, an integrated ...

Proteases and Protease Inhibitors in Tumor Progression
1997Our understanding of the role of matrix degrading proteases in cancer has dramatically expanded over the last two decades. From correlative observations linking proteases to cancer progression, we have accumulated evidence supporting a causal role for proteases in various steps of tumor progression and have become increasingly aware of the complex ...

Engineering of proteases and protease inhibition
Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 1991Proteases are unquestionably the single most studied class of enzymes and yet many questions still remain about their mechanisms and roles. Protein engineering offers the opportunity to provide some of the answers. In this review, recent advances towards the understanding of stability, mechanism, specificity and regulation of proteases and their ...

Autophagy is a process involved in the proteolytic degradation of cellular macromolecules in lysosomes, which requires the activity of proteases, enzymes that hydrolyse peptide bonds and play a critical role in the initiation and execution of autophagy. Importantly, proteases also inhibit autophagy in certain cases.

Inhibition of mite protease (Df-protease) with protease inhibitors.
Biochemistry international, 1993A protease from house dust mite(Dermatophagoides farinae) having high specificity towards a substrate of blood coagulation factor XIIa catalyzes the activation of kallikrein-kinin system in plasma (Takahashi et al., 1990). To prevent the formation of kinin by the mite-protease, inhibition of the protease with its inhibitors was tested in vitro and in ...
