Extracellular Pneumococcal Serine Proteases Affect Nasopharyngeal Colonization
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.

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 ...

Serine proteases at the cutting edge of IBD: Focus on gastrointestinal inflammation
The FASEB Journal, 2020 Serine proteases have been long recognized to coordinate many physiological processes and play key roles in regulating the inflammatory response. Accordingly, their dysregulation has been regularly associated with several inflammatory disorders and ...

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.

Activity-Based Probes to Utilize the Proteolytic Activity of Cathepsin G in Biological Samples
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2021 Neutrophils, migrating to the site of infection, are able to release serine proteases after being activated. These serine proteases comprise cathepsin G (CatG), neutrophil elastase protease 3 (PR3), and neutrophil serine protease 4 (NSP4). A disadvantage

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.
