TRANSGENIC PLANTS RESISTANT TO INSECTS [PDF]
Proteinase inhibitors are secondary metabolites present in all plants and it seems that their major role is protection of plants against attacks of animals, insects and microorganisms.

Lipopeptides as dimerization inhibitors of HIV-1 protease [PDF]
In AIDS therapy, attempts have been made to inhibit the virus-encoded enzymes, e.g, HIV-1 protease, using active site-directed inhibitors. This approach is questionable, however, due to virus mutations and the high toxicity of the drugs, An alternative ...

HIV proteinase inhibitors target the Ddi1-like protein of Leishmania parasites
HIV proteinase inhibitors reduce the levels of Leishmania parasites in vivo and in vitro, but their biochemical target is unknown. We have identified an ortholog of the yeast Ddi1 protein as the only member of the aspartic proteinase family in Leishmania

Melia azedarach L. extract induced the production of phytocystatin in passion fruit leaves
Phytocystatins belong to the family of cysteine proteinases inhibitors. These proteinase inhibitors have crucial functions in plant defense against insects and pathogens attack. In the present study Melia azedarach L. extract acts as an elicitor of plant

Protease inhibitors prevent plasminogen-mediated, but not pemphigus vulgaris-induced, acantholysis in human epidermis [PDF]
Pemphigus is an autoimmune blistering disease of the skin and mucous membranes. It is caused by autoantibodies directed against desmosomes, which are the principal adhesion structures between epidermal keratinocytes.

Coevolution between pathogen-derived proteinases and proteinase inhibitors of host insects
Virulence is thought to coevolve as a result of reciprocal selection between pathogens and their hosts. This paper focuses on coevolution between microbial proteinases operating as virulence factors and host defense molecules of insects. Owing to shorter
