Proteases [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent 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.

Structural basis of specific inhibition of tissue-type plasminogen activator by plasminogen activators inhibitor-1

open access: yesData in Brief, 2016
Thrombosis is a leading cause of death worldwide [1]. Recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) is the FDA-approved thrombolytic drug for ischemic strokes, myocardial infarction and pulmonary embolism.

tPA promotes ADAMTS-4-induced CSPG degradation, thereby enhancing neuroplasticity following spinal cord injury

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2014
Although tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is known to promote neuronal remodeling in the CNS, no mechanism of how this plastic function takes place has been reported so far.

Tumor-Associated Macrophages Derived from Circulating Inflammatory Monocytes Degrade Collagen through Cellular Uptake

open access: yesCell Reports, 2017
Physiologic turnover of interstitial collagen is mediated by a sequential pathway in which collagen is fragmented by pericellular collagenases, endocytosed by collagen receptors, and routed to lysosomes for degradation by cathepsins.

CCL2/MCP-1 signaling drives extracellular matrix turnover by diverse macrophage subsets

open access: yesMatrix Biology Plus, 2019
Macrophage plasticity, cellular origin, and phenotypic heterogeneity are perpetual challenges for studies addressing the biology of this pivotal immune cell in development, homeostasis, and tissue remodeling/repair.

Sustainable Upcycling of Fisheries and Aquaculture Wastes Using Fish-Derived Cold-Adapted Proteases

open access: yesFrontiers in Nutrition, 2022
The fisheries and aquaculture industries are some of the major economic sectors in the world. However, these industries generate significant amounts of wastes that need to be properly managed to avoid serious health and environmental issues.

Protein Quality Control at the Sarcomere: Titin Protection and Turnover and Implications for Disease Development

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2022
Sarcomeres are mainly composed of filament and signaling proteins and are the smallest molecular units of muscle contraction and relaxation. The sarcomere protein titin serves as a molecular spring whose stiffness mediates myofilament extensibility in ...

Serine proteases [PDF]

open access: yesIUBMB Life, 2009
AbstractOver one third of all known proteolytic enzymes are serine proteases. Among these, the trypsins underwent the most predominant genetic expansion yielding the enzymes responsible for digestion, blood coagulation, fibrinolysis, development, fertilization, apoptosis, and immunity.

Plant Proteases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Plant proteases are involved in most aspects of plant physiology and development, playing key roles in the generation of signaling molecules and as regulators of essential cellular processes such as cell division and metabolism. They take part in important pathways like protein turnover by the degradation of misfolded proteins and the ubiquitin ...
