Identification of a Novel Thermostable Alkaline Protease from Bacillus megaterium-TK1 for the Detergent and Leather Industry

Biology, 2020
An increased need by the green industry for enzymes that can be exploited for eco-friendly industrial applications led us to isolate and identify a unique protease obtained from a proteolytic Bacillus megaterium-TK1 strain from a seawater source.

Pericellular activation of hepatocyte growth factor by the transmembrane serine proteases matriptase and hepsin, but not by the membrane-associated protease uPA [PDF]

, 2009
HGF (hepatocyte growth factor) is a pleiotropic cytokine homologous to the serine protease zymogen plasminogen that requires canonical proteolytic cleavage to gain functional activity.

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 shock‐induced 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.

Comparative evolutionary histories of fungal proteases reveal gene gains in the mycoparasitic and nematode-parasitic fungus Clonostachys rosea

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018
Background The ascomycete fungus Clonostachys rosea (order Hypocreales) can control several important plant diseases caused by plant pathogenic fungi and nematodes. Subtilisin-like serine proteases are considered to play an important role in pathogenesis

T-SP1: a novel serine protease-like protein predominantly expressed in testis [PDF]

, 2008
Here, we describe a novel member in the group of membrane-anchored chymotrypsin (S1)-like serine proteases, namely testis serine protease 1 (T-SP1), as it is principally expressed in testis tissue.

A trypsin-like serine protease is involved in pseudorabies virus invasion through the basement membrane barrier of porcine nasal respiratory mucosa

Veterinary Research, 2011
Several alphaherpesviruses breach the basement membrane during mucosal invasion. In the present study, the role of proteases in this process was examined.

SjAPI, the first functionally characterized Ascaris-type protease inhibitor from animal venoms. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Serine protease inhibitors act as modulators of serine proteases, playing important roles in protecting animal toxin peptides from degradation. However, all known serine protease inhibitors discovered thus far from animal venom belong to the Kunitz-type ...

The kunitz domain protein BLI-5 plays a functionally conserved role in cuticle formation in a diverse range of nematodes [PDF]

, 2010
The cuticle of parasitic nematodes performs many critical functions and is essential for proper development and for protection from the host immune response.

Reelin Is a Serine Protease of the Extracellular Matrix [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2002
Reelin is an extracellular matrix protein that plays a pivotal role in development of the central nervous system. Reelin is also expressed in the adult brain, notably in the cerebral cortex, where it might play a role in synaptic plasticity. The mechanism of action of reelin at the molecular level has been the subject of several hypotheses.

Characteristics of Mycobacterium tuberculosis serine protease Rv1043c in enzymology and pathogenicity in mice

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2023
The serine proteases of Mycobacteria tuberculosis (Mtb) are important contributors to the process of bacterial invasion and its pathogenesis. In the present study, we systematically characterized the role of the Rv1043c protein in Mycobacterium infection
