Mast cells limit extracellular levels of IL-13 via a serglycin proteoglycan-serine protease axis [PDF]
Mast cell (MC) granules contain large amounts of proteases of the chymase, tryptase and carboxypeptidase A (MC-CPA) type that are stored in complex with serglycin, a proteoglycan with heparin side chains.

Isolation, purification, characterization and applications of serine protease from Bacillus megaterium [PDF]
Bacillus megaterium isolated from poultry farm soil was identified by standard biochemical tests and screened for the production of serine protease. Production of serine protease was done using 5 different medias by varying the type of amino acid added ...

SmSP2: A serine protease secreted by the blood fluke pathogen Schistosoma mansoni with anti-hemostatic properties. [PDF]
BackgroundSerine proteases are important virulence factors for many pathogens. Recently, we discovered a group of trypsin-like serine proteases with domain organization unique to flatworm parasites and containing a thrombospondin type 1 repeat (TSR-1 ...

In vitro characterization of jellyfish venom fibrin(ogen)olytic enzymes from Nemopilema nomurai
Background Because jellyfish are capable of provoking envenomation in humans, they are considered hazardous organisms. Although the effects of their toxins are a matter of concern, information on the venom components, biological activity and pathological

Structure of the Human Cytomegalovirus Protease Catalytic Domain Reveals a Novel Serine Protease Fold and Catalytic Triad [PDF]
Proteolytic processing of capsid assembly protein precursors by herpesvirus proteases is essential for virion maturation. A 2.5 Å crystal structure of the human cytomegalovirus protease catalytic domain has been determined by X-ray diffraction.
