Functions and evolution of FAM111 serine proteases [PDF]
Proteolysis plays fundamental and regulatory roles in diverse cellular processes. The serine protease FAM111A (FAM111 trypsin-like peptidase A) emerged recently as a protease involved in two seemingly distinct processes: DNA replication and antiviral ...

Ionization Behavior of the Histidine Residue in the Catalytic Triad of Serine Proteases [PDF]
α-Lytic protease is a homologue of the mammalian serine proteases such as trypsin, chymotrypsin, and elastase, and its single histidine residue belongs to the Asp-His-Ser catalytic triad. This single histidine residue has been selectively enriched in the

Novel inhibitors and activity-based probes targeting serine proteases [PDF]
Serine proteases play varied and manifold roles in important biological, physiological, and pathological processes. These include viral, bacterial, and parasitic infection, allergic sensitization, tumor invasion, and metastasis. The use of activity-based

Sequence and phylogenetic analysis of viper venom serine proteases [PDF]
Snakebites are a major neglected tropical disease responsible for as many as 95000 deaths every year worldwide. Viper venom serine proteases disrupt haemostasis of prey and victims by affecting various stages of the blood coagulation system.

Staphylococcal SplA and SplB serine proteases target ubiquitin(-like) specific proteases [PDF]
Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive opportunistic pathogen that has colonized nearly 30% of the human population and can cause life-threatening infections. S. aureus exports a variety of virulence factors, such as a novel set of extracellular serine

Serine proteases and metalloproteases are highly increased in irritable bowel syndrome Tunisian patients [PDF]
Serine proteases are involved in many biological processes and are associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) pathology. An increase in serine protease activity has been widely reported in IBS patients.
