Proteinases as virulence factors in
Parasites & Vectors, 2012 Leishmania parasites cause human tegumentary and visceral infections that are commonly referred to as leishmaniasis. Despite the high incidence and prevalence of cases, leishmaniasis has been a neglected disease because it mainly affects developing ...

Digestive proteinases from marine organisms and their applications [PDF]
Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2008 Fish viscera have wide biotechnological potential as a source of digestive enzymes, especially proteinases. The biological diversity of fish species provides a wide array of enzymes with unique properties. Fish digestive proteolytic enzymes most commonly

The use of phenyl-Sepharose for the affinity purification of proteinases [PDF]
, 1993 Phenyl-Sepharose is most often used as an adsorbent for hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC). We report on its effective use for the affinity purification of some extracellular thermostable proteinases from bacterial sources.

Inflammation and cancer: The role of the human neutrophil
South African Journal of Science, 2014 Chronic inflammation of both infective and non-infective origin has been implicated in the aetiology of approximately 30% of all human epithelial malignancies.

A Proteinase and Proteinase Inhibitor of Mammalian Sperm Acrosomes [PDF]
Biology of Reproduction, 1973 Acrosomal extracts of epididymal boar and epididymal and ejaculated rooster spermatozoa possess high proteinase (acrosin) activity. Less activity is present in extracts from ejaculated human, monkey, and ram sperm or epididymal rabbit, stallion, and ram sperm, and virtually none can be found in extracts at neutral pH of ejaculated sperm of the rabbit ...

Nematicidal effects of cysteine proteinases against sedentary plant parasitic nematodes [PDF]
, 2007 Cysteine proteinases from the fruit and latex of plants, such as papaya, pineapple and fig, have previously been shown to have substantial anthelmintic efficacy, in vitro and in vivo, against a range of animal parasitic nematodes.

A confederacy of proteinases [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2002 The demolition of large buildings can be accomplished by a single explosive agent destroying a single class of structural components, namely weight-bearing beams. Although the breakdown of tissues in disease has often been conceived to occur in an analogous manner, with a single proteinase degrading a single structural ECM protein, it has become clear ...

Journal of Lipid Research, 2004 Lipid-laden monocyte/macrophages in atherosclerotic plaques can produce a range of proteinases capable of degrading components of the plaque extracellular matrix, an event that may weaken plaques, rendering them vulnerable to rupture.

Differential Expression and Localization of ADAMTS Proteinases in Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy
Molecules, 2022 We analyzed the expression of ADAMTS proteinases ADAMTS-1, -2, -4, -5 and -13; their activating enzyme MMP-15; and the degradation products of proteoglycan substrates versican and biglycan in an ocular microenvironment of proliferative diabetic ...
