Immunoglobulin A protease from Sutterella wadsworthensis modifies outcome of infection with Campylobacter jejuni and is associated with microbiome diversity [PDF]
Gut MicrobesSutterella wadsworthensis is an enigmatic member of the microbiota, previously reported to be present in healthy humans yet also associated with certain gut diseases and their therapeutic outcomes. Here, we report on S.

Discovery and biochemical characterization of the D-aspartyl endopeptidase activity of the serine protease LACTB. [PDF]
J Biol ChemNon-enzymatic D-isomerization of aspartic acid in proteins has been observed in lesions associated with age-related diseases, including cataracts and Alzheimer's disease. Given that D-isomerization of Asp disrupts the physiological conformation of proteins, it has been postulated that D-isomerization of Asp in proteins is a key factor in the ...

Characterization of endopeptidases from the midgut of Morimus funereus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) larvae [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2008 Application of specific chromogenic substrates, use of class-specific inhibitors, and zymogram analysis enabled us to identify several peptidase classes in extracts of the midgut of Morimus funereus larvae.

Self Purification of Two Serine Endopeptidases [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1972 We have reported that a serine protease from Pronase, homologous with bovine chymotrypsin, is both active and stable in 6 M guanidinium chloride. The present investigation examined the possibility that this unique property might be used to permit the enzyme to engage in its own purification by cleaving companion proteins to low-molecular ...

Fibroblast Activation Protein Specific Optical Imaging in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Frontiers in Oncology, 2022 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 ...

Substrate Specificity of Honeydew Melon Protease D, a Plant Serine Endopeptidase [PDF]
Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 1997 The substrate specificity of honeydew melon (Cucumis melo var. inodorus Naud) protease D was studied by the use of synthetic substrates and oligopeptides derived from a protein hydrolyzate. The hydrolysis rates of succinyl-(L-Ala)1-3-p-nitroanilide (Suc-(Ala)1-3-pNA) the hydrolysis rate progressively rose in proportion to the increased chain length ...
