Serine Endopeptidase Activities of Cowpea Seeds: A Time Course during Development and Germination

open access: closedCrop Science, 2019
ABSTRACTProteases in plants carry out an essential role in protein turnover during seed development and germination. Cysteine proteases (EC 3.4.22) are well‐known participants of such processes. Serine proteases (EC 3.4.21), however, are far less reported as protagonists during these events.

Role of a serine endopeptidase in the hydrolysis of exogenous cholecystokinin by brain slices

open access: closedNeuroscience, 1989
The participation of a serine endopeptidase, previously shown to be involved in endogenous cholecystokinin inactivation [Rose, Camus and Schwartz (1989) Neuroscience 29, 583-594], in the hydrolysis of various exogenous cholecystokinin peptides was studied with slices from rat cerebral cortex.

A serine endopeptidase from cucumber leaves is inhibited by l-arginine, guanidino compounds and divalent cations

open access: closedPhytochemistry, 2001
An endopeptidase was purified and characterized from green leaves of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. suyo). The purified enzyme, a basic amino acid-specific endopeptidase with a pI of 5.0, was a monomeric protein of 80 kDa whose pH optimum was 9.5. Inhibitor analysis suggested that it was a serine endopeptidase and contained sulfhydryl groups essential ...

Specificity comparison of a serine endopeptidase (SH1) and a serine thiol endopeptidase (STH2) purified from human urine

The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 2004
In this study, we compared the properties of a serine endopeptidase H1 (SH1) and a serine thiol endopeptidase (STH2) purified from human urine by DEAE-cellulose followed by a Bio Gel A0.5 m or Sepharose Mercurial chromatographs. These enzymes differ in their action upon different hormone peptides.

A serine endopeptidase from the fruits of Melothria japonica (Thunb.) Maxim.

Phytochemistry, 2001
An endopeptidase from the fruits of Melothria japonica (Thunb.) Maxim. has been purified by DEAE-Sepharose chromatography and gel-filtration by a Sephacryl S-300. The enzyme has Mr of 61 kDa. The optimum pH of the enzyme was 8. The enzyme activity was inhibited by diisopropyl fluorophosphate and phenylmethanesulfonylfluoride, but not by EDTA.

Heterozygous variants c.781G>A and c.1066dup ofserine protease 56cause familial nanophthalmos by impairing serine-type endopeptidase activity

British Journal of Ophthalmology, 2022
Background/aimsNanophthalmos is a rare developmental, bilateral, sporadic or hereditary form of microphthalmos. In this study, the heterozygous variants c.781G>A and c.1066dup of thePRSS56gene were identified in two patients with nanophthalmos. This study reports the clinical manifestation and the underlying pathogenic mechanism.MethodsWhole-exome ...
