Transcriptome dynamics in the asexual cycle of the chordate Botryllus schlosseri [PDF]
Background: We performed an analysis of the transcriptome during the blastogenesis of the chordate Botryllus schlosseri, focusing in particular on genes involved in cell death by apoptosis. The tunicate B.

Proteases that degrade the biofilm matrix
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 ...

Proteases of haematophagous arthropod vectors are involved in blood-feeding, yolk formation and immunity : a review [PDF]
Ticks, triatomines, mosquitoes and sand flies comprise a large number of haematophagous arthropods considered vectors of human infectious diseases. While consuming blood to obtain the nutrients necessary to carry on life functions, these insects can ...

Structural modeling and functional analysis of the essential ribosomal processing protease Prp from Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]
In Firmicutes and related bacteria, ribosomal large subunit protein L27 is encoded with a conserved N-terminal extension that is removed to expose residues critical for ribosome function. Bacteria encoding L27 with this N-terminal extension also encode a

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