Protease Activity of Allergenic Pollen of Cedar, Cypress, Juniper, Birch and Ragweed [PDF]

, 2008
BackgroundPollen is an important trigger of allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis, and/or asthma, and an exacerbating factor in atopic dermatitis. Although it is proposed that protease activity from allergen sources, such as mites, enhances allergenicity ...

Impact of Isolation Techniques on the Content of Small Extracellular Vesicles

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT An important topic of discussion amongst the extracellular vesicle (EV) research field is which genetic materials are considered true constituents of EV cargo. What were once regarded as non‐EV components have now evolved to be potentially essential to EV composition, serving as key mediators in communication.

Genome‐Wide In Silico Analysis of the Type VI Secretion System (T6SS) Within the Morganella Genus

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
▪ Species‐specific T6SS patterns among Morganella genus (M. morganii and M. sibonii). ▪ Only one‐third of M. morganii isolates haboured a T6SS. ▪ All M. sibonii possess four T6SS clusters. ▪ M. sibonii exhibited a wide diversity of effectors compared to M. morganii.

Structural basis for dimerization, catalytic regulation, and substrate selectivity of the chloroplast S9D CGEP protease in Arabidopsis thaliana

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract S9 proteases are widely distributed across the tree‐of‐life and play essential roles in protein processing. However, the structural and mechanistic basis for protease activity in the S9D subfamily, restricted to photosynthetic eukaryotes (e.g., plants), cyanobacteria, proteobacteria and flavobacteria, is unknown. Here, we report the first high‐

Traversing the effects of ploidy changes in different Eragrostis curvula genotypes through high‐throughput RNA sequencing

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Polyploidization has played a key role in plant genome evolution. Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Ness, a perennial forage grass species of the Poaceae family, is an excellent model for investigating genome duplication due to its natural variation in ploidy levels.

Protease activities in the midgut of Western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte)

, 2009
The Western corn rootworm is one of the most economically important pests in corn. One possibility for controlling this pest is the cultivation of transgenic corn expressing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins, such as Cry3A, Cry34Ab1/Cry35Ab1, and ...

Inhibition of Fibroblast Activation Protein‐α Ameliorates Intervertebral Disc Degeneration via Reduced Vascular Invasion in Cartilage Endplate

Cell Proliferation, Volume 59, Issue 6, June 2026.
Schematic illustration showing that FAP‐α promoted angiogenesis, cytokine release and ECM degradation in the CEP degeneration of the intervertebral disc through upregulating the PI3K/Akt/HIF‐1α/VEGFA pathway. ABSTRACT Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a primary cause of low back pain, with the development of new blood vessels being a key ...

Identification and characterization of burkholderia pseudomallei K96243 serine and metallopeptidase

, 2014
Burkholderia pseudomallei K96243, the causative agent of melioidosis, is reported to produce various extracellular products, including proteases. The role of these proteases in the melioidosis, however, remains obscure.
