Proteinases in the joint: clinical relevance of proteinases in joint destruction [PDF]
Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2007 Proteinases are involved in essential steps in cartilage and bone homeostasis. Consequently, efforts have been made to establish their potential role in the pathology of rheumatic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and spondyloarthritis.

Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2021 Background: The cell-surface cysteine proteinases RgpA, RgpB (Arg-gingipain), and Kgp (Lys-gingipain) are major virulence factors of P. gingivalis, a keystone pathogen in the development of destructive periodontal disease.

Potyviral NIa Proteinase, a Proteinase with Novel Deoxyribonuclease Activity [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2004 The NIa proteinase from pepper vein banding virus (PVBV) is a sequence-specific proteinase required for processing of viral polyprotein in the cytoplasm. It accumulates in the nucleus of the infected plant cell and forms inclusion bodies. The function of this protein in the nucleus is not clear.

Analyses of MMP20 Missense Mutations in Two Families with Hypomaturation Amelogenesis Imperfecta
Frontiers in Physiology, 2017 Amelogenesis imperfecta is a group of rare inherited disorders that affect tooth enamel formation, quantitatively and/or qualitatively. The aim of this study was to identify the genetic etiologies of two families presenting with hypomaturation ...

Characterization of lactococci isolated from homemade kefir [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2007 Five bacteriocin-producing lactococci isolates from traditionally prepared kefir were determined as Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis. The analyzed isolates showed different plasmid profiles and no cross inhibition between them was detected.

Cysteine proteinases and cystatins [PDF]
Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2003 This review describeds the definition, localization, functions and examples of cysteine proteinases and their protein inhibitors in vertebrate, non-vertebrate animals and plants. These inhibitors are related with defense mechanisms of plant against pests.

Pathogenicity and virulence of Streptococcus pneumoniae: Cutting to the chase on proteases
Virulence, 2021 Bacterial proteases and peptidases are integral to cell physiology and stability, and their necessity in Streptococcus pneumoniae is no exception. Protein cleavage and processing mechanisms within the bacterial cell serve to ensure that the cell lives ...

Ubiquitin, a central component of selective cytoplasmic proteolysis, is linked to proteins residing at the locus of non-selective proteolysis, the vacuole [PDF]
, 1992 Ubiquitin, an evolutionary highly conserved protein, is known to be involved in selective proteolysis in the cytoplasm. Here we show that ubiquitin-protein conjugates are also found in the yeast vacuole.

Viral cysteine proteinases [PDF]
Perspectives in Drug Discovery and Design, 1996 Dozens of novel cysteine proteinases have been identified in positive single-stranded RNA viruses and, for the first time, in large double-stranded DNA viruses. The majority of these proteins are distantly related to papain or chymotrypsin and may be direct descendants of primordial proteolytic enzymes.
