Genetic divergence between populations of feral and domestic forms of a mosquito disease vector assessed by transcriptomics [PDF]

PeerJ, 2015
Culex pipiens, an invasive mosquito and vector of West Nile virus in the US, has two morphologically indistinguishable forms that differ dramatically in behavior and physiology. Cx.

Molecular adaptation of a plant-bacterium outer membrane protease towards plague virulence factor Pla

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011
Background Omptins are a family of outer membrane proteases that have spread by horizontal gene transfer in Gram-negative bacteria that infect vertebrates or plants.

Soluble ICAM-5, a product of activity dependent proteolysis, increases mEPSC frequency and dendritic expression of GluA1. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are zinc dependent endopeptidases that can be released from neurons in an activity dependent manner to play a role in varied forms of learning and memory.

Pharmaceutically modified subtilisins withstand acidic conditions and effectively degrade gluten in vivo [PDF]

, 2019
Detoxification of gluten immunogenic epitopes is a promising strategy for the treatment of celiac disease. Our previous studies have shown that these epitopes can be degraded in vitro by subtilisin enzymes derived from Rothia mucilaginosa, a natural ...

Using the SUBcellular database for Arabidopsis proteins to localize the Deg protease family

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
Sub-functionalization during the expansion of gene families in eukaryotes has occurred in part through specific subcellular localization of different family members.

Insights into the keratin efficient degradation mechanism mediated by Bacillus sp. CN2 based on integrating functional degradomics

Biotechnology for Biofuels and Bioproducts, 2023
Background Keratin, the main component of chicken feather, is the third most abundant material after cellulose and chitin. Keratin can be converted into high-value compounds and is considered a potential high-quality protein supplement; However, its ...

Amino acid sequence of the chymotryptic protease II from the larvae of the hornet, Vespa crabro [PDF]

, 1916
The covalent structure of the chymotrypsin II from the larvae of the hornet, Vespa crabro, has been determined. The sequence has been deduced from 3 sets of overlapping peptides generated by trypsin after modification of the lysine or arginine residues ...

Modulation of posterior intestinal mucosal proteome in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) after Yersinia ruckeri infection

Veterinary Research, 2019
Yersinia ruckeri is the causative agent of enteric redmouth disease in salmonids. In fish, the intestine represents an important site of nutrient uptake, host–pathogen interactions, and defense.

Proteases that degrade the biofilm matrix

Zdorovʹe Rebenka, 2020
Biofilms protect bacteria from the action of antibacterial drugs and are one of the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance of infections. Destruction of the bacterial biofilm matrix leads to the release of bacteria and they again become vulnerable to ...

A biotechnology perspective of fungal proteases [PDF]

, 2015
Proteases hydrolyze the peptide bonds of proteins into peptides and amino acids, being found in all living organisms, and are essential for cell growth and differentiation.
