Novel inhibitors and activity-based probes targeting serine proteases

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2022
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

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 ...

Regulation of Neutrophil Serine Proteases by Intracellular Serpins [PDF]

, 2015
Neutrophil granules contain serine proteases that are central components of the antimicrobial weapons of the innate immune system. Neutrophil proteases also contribute to the amplification and resolution of inflammatory responses through defined ...

Comparative kinetic characterization of the activity of glycosylated and non-glycosylated trypsin-like serine protease isolated from adults of Rhyzopertha dominica (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) reared on the grain of three different cultivars of wheat

European Journal of Entomology, 2023
Rhyzopertha dominica is a pest that uses trypsin-like serine protease enzymes to hydrolyse the proteins in the cereal grains on which it feeds. The present study reveals for the first time that that there are both glycosylated and non-glycosylated serine

Serine protease CrKP43 interacts with MAPK and regulates fungal development and mycoparasitism in Clonostachys chloroleuca

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Serine proteases are a group of important hydrolytic enzymes that play vital roles in various cellular processes in fungi. In this study, the S8 serine protease-encoding gene CrKP43 was identified in the highly efficient Clonostachys chloroleuca 67–1 ...

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

tPA promotes ADAMTS-4-induced CSPG degradation, thereby enhancing neuroplasticity following spinal cord injury

Neurobiology of Disease, 2014
Although tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is known to promote neuronal remodeling in the CNS, no mechanism of how this plastic function takes place has been reported so far.

A comprehensive nomenclature for serine proteases with homology to tissue kallikreins [PDF]

, 2006
The human kallikrein locus on chromosome 19q13.3-13.4 contains kallikrein 1 - the tissue kallikrein - and 14 related serine proteases. Recent investigations into their function and evolution have indicated that the present nomenclature for these proteins

Induction of IDO1 and Kynurenine by Serine Proteases Subtilisin, Prostate Specific Antigen, CD26 and HtrA: A New Form of Immunosuppression?

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Several serine proteases have been linked to autoimmune disorders and tumour initiation although the mechanisms are not fully understood. Activation of the kynurenine pathway enzyme indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase (IDO1) modulates cellular activity in the ...
