Transcriptome dynamics in the asexual cycle of the chordate Botryllus schlosseri [PDF]
Background: We performed an analysis of the transcriptome during the blastogenesis of the chordate Botryllus schlosseri, focusing in particular on genes involved in cell death by apoptosis. The tunicate B.

Evolutionary histories of expanded peptidase families in Schistosoma mansoni
Schistosoma mansoni is one of the three main causative agents of human schistosomiasis, a major health problem with a vast socio-economic impact. Recent advances in the proteomic analysis of schistosomes have revealed that peptidases are the main ...

AtDeg2 – a chloroplast protein with dual protease/chaperone activity
Chloroplast protease AtDeg2 (an ATP-independent serine endopeptidase) is cytosolically synthesized as a precursor, which is imported into the chloroplast stroma and deprived of its transit peptide.

Action of Serine Carboxypeptidases on Endopeptidase Substrates, N-Acyldipeptideamides [PDF]
Abstract Action patterns of two serine carboxypeptidases, one from yeast (Y) and the other from wheat bran (W), on N-[3-(2-furyl)acryloyl]-(Fua-) dipeptideamide substrates were examined by HPLC and amino acid analysis. In the reaction of the wheat enzyme the substrates were hydrolyzed to Fua-amino acid and no sufficient amount of Fua ...

Fibroblast Activation Protein Specific Optical Imaging in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is a cell surface propyl-specific serine protease involved in the regulation of extracellular matrix. Whilst expressed at low levels in healthy tissue, upregulation of FAP on fibroblasts can be found in several solid ...
