A comprehensive nomenclature for serine proteases with homology to tissue kallikreins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The human kallikrein locus on chromosome 19q13.3-13.4 contains kallikrein 1 - the tissue kallikrein - and 14 related serine proteases. Recent investigations into their function and evolution have indicated that the present nomenclature for these proteins

A Chemical Framework for Engineering Extracellular Vesicles’ Biointerface to Advance Precision Therapeutics

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell‐derived nanoparticles that mediate intercellular communication through their dynamic biointerfaces. Owing to their intrinsic biological functions, EVs have emerged as promising platforms for biomedical applications.

Molecular Editing Reveals a Bilobalide Chemotype that Attenuates Prolyl Endopeptidase (PREP)‐Linked Neuroinflammation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Molecular editing of bilobalide uncovers BB56, a PREP‐engaging chemotype with enhanced anti‐inflammatory activity in microglia. Integrated CETSA‐MS, SAR, and pathway analyses link BB56 to attenuation of p38 MAPK/NF‐κB and NLRP3‐associated inflammatory signaling, highlighting bilobalide editing as a strategy for developing neuroinflammation‐modulating ...

A human serine endopeptidase, purified with respect to activity against a peptide with phosphoserine in the P1' position, is apparently identical with prolyl endopeptidase

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1991
The present work describes the detection, purification, and characterization of a serine endopeptidase with preference for a phosphoserine in the P1' position of the substrate. During probing for the enzyme in crude extracts, as well as during its 64,000-fold purification, 32P-labeled guanidovaleryl-Arg-Ala-Ser(P)-isobutyl amide (I) was used to measure

The family of Deg/HtrA proteases in plants

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2012
Background The Deg/HtrA family of ATP-independent serine endopeptidases is present in nearly all organisms from bacteria to human and vascular plants. In recent years, multiple deg/htrA protease genes were identified in various plant genomes.

EphB1‐Mediated Transient Blood‐Brain Barrier Opening Facilitates a Ferritin‐Based Nanotherapeutic for Alzheimer's Disease

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We constructed a brain‐targeted AFn‐DPZ nanodrug delivery system and identified EphB1 as its receptor on the blood‐brain barrier (BBB). This system facilitates drug transport across the BBB and thereby ameliorates cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's disease.

Insights into the efficient degradation mechanism of extracellular proteases mediated by Purpureocillium lilacinum

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology
Protease secretion is crucial for degrading nematode cuticles using nematophagous fungus Purpureocillium lilacinum, but the secretion pattern of protease remains poorly understood.

The Role of Microbial Aspartic Protease Enzyme in Food and Beverage Industries

open access: yesJournal of Food Quality, 2018
Proteases represent one of the three largest groups of industrial enzymes and account for about 60% of the total global enzymes sale. According to the Nomenclature Committee of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, proteases are ...

SerpinA3 is an Endogenous TGF‐β Receptor Antagonist that Attenuates Cardiac Fibroblast Activation and Fibrotic Remodeling

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
SerpinA3 acts as an endogenous TGF‐β receptor antagonist that binds to the extracellular domain of TGFR‐1, thereby preventing TGFR‐1–TGFR‐2 complex formation. This receptor‐level blockade suppresses TGF‐β/Smad2/3 signaling, attenuates cardiac fibroblast activation, and extracellular matrix deposition, and ultimately alleviates pressure overload–induced

Serine-Modified Au@Cu2O Core–Shell Nanoparticles for Catalysis-Mediated Colorimetric Detection of Small Molecules

open access: yes, 2023
3,3′,5,5′-Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB)-based catalysis-mediated colorimetric analysis for the detection of small molecules has poor specificity. In this study, well-prepared Au@Cu2O core–shell nanocatalysts (NCs) were fabricated that have excellent ...
