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 ...

Periplasmic Proteases and Protease Inhibitors
2014In general, proteases are involved in diverse functions; the most notable include digestive, protective, and regulatory processes. Digestive proteases are involved in protein degradation for nutritional purposes. About 35% of all entries in the MEROPS database are classified as serine proteases.

West Nile virus (WNV), Zika virus (ZIKV), and Dengue virus (DENV) are vector-borne diseases endemic in tropical and subtropical countries around the world. Their incidence has been growing in recent years and they are becoming increasingly relevant even in non-endemic areas, representing a significant public health problem worldwide.

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2004
Over the past 20 years, the development of subtilisins as typical detergent proteases has employed all the tools of enzyme technology, resulting in a constant flow of new and improved enzymes. The number of molecules identified and characterized, however, is in clear opposition to the number of molecules that are entering the market.

Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation, 1992
The Aspartic proteases (EC 3.4.23) are a group of proteolytic enzymes that share the same catalytic apparatus. Members of the aspartic protease family can be found in different organisms, ranging from humans to plants and retroviruses. The best known sources of aspartic proteases are the stomach of mammals, yeast and fungi, with porcine pepsin as the ...

Experientia, 1996
The interleukin-1 beta-converting enzyme (ICE)-like family proteases have recently been identified as key enzymes in apoptotic cell death. Among these proteases one can identify specific activities which may be involved in cytokine production or in resident protein cleavage. Several factors influence the constitutive apoptotic mechanism and may provide

Parasitology Today, 1988
While studies of schistosome antigens have proceeded rapidly over the past ten years, studies of schistosome enzymes have also been increasing apace. Now the two `lines' of research are coming together. Parasites such as schistosomes hardly present antigens merely to stimulate a host immune response, so it is not surprising that many antigens turn out ...
