Trypanosoma cruzi recognition by macrophages and muscle cells: perspectives after a 15-year study
Macrophages and muscle cells are the main targets for invasion of Trypanosoma cruzi. Ultrastructural studies of this phenomenon in vitro showed that invasion occurs by endocytosis, with attachment and internalization being mediated by different ...

Bacterial aspartic proteinases [PDF]
Regions of genomic DNA encoding putative aspartic proteinase domains were amplified by PCR from the bacterial species, Escherichia coli and Haemophilus influenzae. Expression of each of these DNA fragments resulted in the accumulation of the corresponding recombinant proteins in insoluble aggregates.

Proteinases in the joint: clinical relevance of proteinases in joint destruction [PDF]
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.

Potyviral NIa Proteinase, a Proteinase with Novel Deoxyribonuclease Activity [PDF]
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.
