Comparing the frequency, antifungal susceptibility, and enzymatic profiles of the oral fungal composition in patients with and without Alzheimer's disease admitted to a neurology clinic

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
BackgroundStudies have shown that changes in the frequency of oral microorganisms may play a key role in the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, no research has been conducted on the oral fungal composition in AD-patients. The present study

Plasmodium falciparum proteinases: cloning of the putative gene coding for the merozoite proteinase for erythrocyte invasion (MPEI) and determination of hydrolysis sites of spectrin by Pf37 proteinase

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1994
Numerous proteinase activities have been shown to be essential for the survival of Plasmodium falciparum. One approach to antimalarial chemotherapy, would be to block specifically one or several of these activities, by using compounds structurally ...

Proteolytic Cleavage of Various Human Serum Proteinase Inhibitors by Candida albicans Aspartic Proteinase [PDF]

, 2008
The secreted Candida albicans aspartic proteinase (SAP) is presumed to be one of the putative Candida virulence factors, while serum proteinase inhibitors depend on host defense mechanisms.

Structural determinants of specificity and regulation of activity in the allosteric loop network of human KLK8/neuropsin

Scientific Reports, 2018
Human KLK8/neuropsin, a kallikrein-related serine peptidase, is mostly expressed in skin and the hippocampus regions of the brain, where it regulates memory formation by synaptic remodeling.

Use of a cysteine proteinase from Carica candamarcensis as a protective agent during DNA extraction

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1998
We describe the use of a plant cysteine proteinase isolated from latex of Carica candamarcensis as a protective agent during isolation of bacterial DNA following growth in culture of these cells.

A study of the cell wall-associated proteinase of lactic streptococci : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in biochemistry at Massey University [PDF]

, 1988
The cell wall proteinase of Streptococcus lactis 4760 was released by incubation of milk­ grown cells in Ca++- free buffer. The effects of duration of incubation, pH and presence of Ca++ ions on the release of proteinase activity was investigated.

Loss of expression of neutrophil proteinase-3: a factor contributing to thrombotic risk in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria

Haematologica, 2011
Background A deficiency of specific glycosylphosphatidyl inositol-anchored proteins in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria may be responsible for most of the clinical features of this disease, but some functional consequences may be indirect. For example,
