Extracellular Pneumococcal Serine Proteases Affect Nasopharyngeal Colonization [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021 Streptococcus pneumoniae has evolved versatile strategies to colonize the nasopharynx of humans. Colonization is facilitated by direct interactions with host cell receptors or via binding to components of the extracellular matrix.

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.

Genome-wide survey of prokaryotic serine proteases: Analysis of distribution and domain architectures of five serine protease families in prokaryotes [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2008 Background Serine proteases are one of the most abundant groups of proteolytic enzymes found in all the kingdoms of life. While studies have established significant roles for many prokaryotic serine proteases in several physiological processes, such as ...

Modeling and structural analysis of PA clan serine proteases
BMC Research Notes, 2012 Background Serine proteases account for over a third of all known proteolytic enzymes; they are involved in a variety of physiological processes and are classified into clans sharing structural homology. The PA clan of endopeptidases is the most abundant

REVIEW OF SERINE PROTEASE INHIBITORS: DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATIONS [PDF]
Bulletin of Pharmaceutical Sciences. Assiut University, 2023 A class of enzymes known as proteases is responsible for catalyzing the breakdown of covalent peptide bonds. Proteases account for almost 2% of the genes in humans, infectious organisms, and other forms of life.

Peptidyl Activity-Based Probes for Imaging Serine Proteases
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2021 Proteases catalyze the hydrolysis of peptide bonds. Products of this breakdown mediate signaling in an enormous number of biological processes. Serine proteases constitute the most numerous group of proteases, accounting for 40%, and they are prevalent ...
