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.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2005
The protease-antiprotease theory of emphysema is widely accepted, but exactly which cells/proteases play a role continues to be a controversial subject.Reports in humans show increased metalloproteinase activity in emphysema, but the exact role of metalloproteinases remains unclear.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
