Plant-Programmed Cell Death-Associated Genes Participation in Pinus sylvestris L. Trunk Tissue Formation

Plants, 2022
Molecular genetic markers of various PCD (programmed cell death) variants during xylo- and phloemogenesis have been identified for the first time in Scots pine under lingonberry pine forest conditions in Northwest Russia (middle taiga subzone).

Sensitive substrates for neprilysin (neutral endopeptidase) and thermolysin that are highly resistant to serine proteases [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 1996
Tripeptide derivatives like 3‐carboxypropanoylalanyl‐alanyl‐leucine 4‐nitroanilide or 3‐carboxypropanoylalanyl‐alanyl‐phenylalanine 4‐nitroanilide are very sensitive substrates for neprilysin (k cat > 102 s−1; k cat/K m ≥ 106 s−1 · M−1) and are widely employed in investigations of the enzyme. However, these compounds are also good substrates for the

Filling the Gaps to Solve the Extensin Puzzle [PDF]

, 2018
Extensins (EXTs) are highly repetitive plant O-glycoproteins that require several post-translational modifications (PTMs) to become functional in plant cell walls.

The midgut transcriptome of Aedes aegypti fed with saline or protein meals containing chikungunya virus reveals genes potentially involved in viral midgut escape

BMC Genomics, 2017
Background The mosquito Aedes aegypti is the primary vector for medically important arthropod-borne viruses, including chikungunya virus (CHIKV). Following oral acquisition, an arbovirus has to persistently infect several organs in the mosquito before ...

Presence and expression of hydrogenase specific C-terminal endopeptidases in cyanobacteria [PDF]

, 2003
BACKGROUND: Hydrogenases catalyze the simplest of all chemical reactions: the reduction of protons to molecular hydrogen or vice versa. Cyanobacteria can express an uptake, a bidirectional or both NiFe-hydrogenases.

Modeling and structural analysis of PA clan serine proteases

BMC Research Notes, 2012
Background Serine proteases account for over a third of all known proteolytic enzymes; they are involved in a variety of physiological processes and are classified into clans sharing structural homology. The PA clan of endopeptidases is the most abundant

MEPE-derived ASARM peptide inhibits odontogenic differentiation of dental pulp stem cells and impairs mineralization in tooth models of X-linked hypophosphatemia. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Mutations in PHEX (phosphate-regulating gene with homologies to endopeptidases on the X-chromosome) cause X-linked familial hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH), a disorder having severe bone and tooth dentin mineralization defects.

Ankyrin-mediated self-protection during cell invasion by the bacterial predator Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus [PDF]

, 2015
Predatory Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus are natural antimicrobial organisms, killing other bacteria by whole-cell invasion. Self-protection against prey-metabolizing enzymes is important for the evolution of predation.
