The HtrA family of serine proteases [PDF]
Molecular Microbiology, 1997 HtrA, also known as DegP and probably identical to the Do protease, is a heat shockâinduced serine protease that is active in the periplasm of Escherichia coli. Homologues of HtrA have been described in a wide range of bacteria and in eukaryotes. Its chief role is to degrade misfolded proteins in the periplasm.

The epidermolytic toxins are serine proteases [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1990 Certain strains of Staphylococcus aureus usually belonging to phage group II produce epidermolytic toxins (ETA and ETB) which cause intraepidermal splitting in mice, neonates and occasionally adults. Amino acid sequences of ETA and ETB have been reported but the mechanism of epidermolysis remains unknown.

Serine proteases, their inhibitors and allergy [PDF]
Allergy, 2006 This paper reviews four serine protease inhibitors and three protease gene defects that are associated with allergic conditions, suggesting an important role for these genes and their products in the development of allergy. Serine protease inhibitors may have a therapeutic potential in the treatment of allergy.

Serine Proteases in Rodent Hippocampus [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1998 Brain serine proteases are implicated in developmental processes, synaptic plasticity, and in disorders including Alzheimer's disease. The spectrum of the major enzymes expressed in brain has not been established previously. We now present a systematic study of the serine proteases expressed in adult rat and mouse hippocampus.

IUBMB Life, 2009 AbstractOver one third of all known proteolytic enzymes are serine proteases. Among these, the trypsins underwent the most predominant genetic expansion yielding the enzymes responsible for digestion, blood coagulation, fibrinolysis, development, fertilization, apoptosis, and immunity.

Interdependence of kallikrein-related peptidases in proteolytic networks [PDF]
, 2010 Human kallikrein-related peptidases (KLKs) are 15 homologous serine proteases involved in several (patho)physiological processes, including cancer. Secreted as precursors, they are activated upon proteolytic release of a short propeptide. We searched for

Preliminary investigations on the serine and aspartic protease inhibitors from Nothopegia beddomei
Ceylon Journal of Science, 2019 Aqueous stem bark extract of Nothopegia beddomei was assayed for serine and aspartic protease inhibitors by using trypsin and pepsin as the target enzymes, respectively. Crude bark extract was dialyzed and subjected to inhibition assays.

Identification and characterization of fusolisin, the Fusobacterium nucleatum autotransporter serine protease. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Fusobacterium nucleatum is an oral anaerobe associated with periodontal disease, adverse pregnancy outcomes and colorectal carcinoma. A serine endopeptidase of 61-65 kDa capable of damaging host tissue and of inactivating immune effectors was detected ...
