DNA accelerates the protease inhibition of a bacterial serpin chloropin
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2023 Serine protease inhibitors (Serpins) are the most widely distributed protease inhibitors in nature and have been identified from all kingdoms of life.

Inhibitory serpins. New insights into their folding, polymerization, regulation and clearance.
Biochemical Journal, 2016 Serpins are a widely distributed family of high molecular mass protein proteinase inhibitors that can inhibit both serine and cysteine proteinases by a remarkable mechanism-based kinetic trapping of an acyl or thioacyl enzyme intermediate that involves ...

Nature, 1994 Recent structures of members of the serine proteinase inhibitor families (serpins) continue to emphasize the flexibility of the reactive loop and suggest possible 'active' conformations.

Serpins from wheat grain [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1994 Wheat serpin genes have been identified by Southern blot hybridization with three distinct barley protein Z probes. Immunoblot analysis with a monoclonal antibody towards barley protein Z confirmed expression of related M r ~ 40 kDa proteins in wheat grain.

Inhibitor of DNA binding‐1 is a key regulator of cancer cell vasculogenic mimicry
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Elevated expression of transcriptional regulator inhibitor of DNA binding 1 (ID1) promoted cancer cell‐mediated vasculogenic mimicry (VM) through regulation of pro‐angiogenic and pro‐cancerous genes (e.g. VE‐cadherin (CDH5), TIE2, MMP9, DKK1). Higher ID1 expression also increased metastases to the lung and the liver.

SerpinB3 and Yap Interplay Increases Myc Oncogenic Activity [PDF]
, 2015 SerpinB3 has been recently described as an early marker of liver carcinogenesis, but the potential mechanistic role of this serpin in tumor development is still poorly understood.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.A DIA‐MS‐based proteomics analysis of serum samples from GB patients and healthy controls showed that high levels of IL1R2 and low levels of CRTAC1 and HRG in serum are associated with poor survival outcomes for GB patients. These circulating proteins could serve as biomarkers for the prediction of outcome in patients with GB.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.The tumor microenvironment is a dynamic, multifaceted complex system of interdependent cellular, biochemical, and biophysical components. Three‐dimensional in vitro models of the tumor microenvironment enable a better understanding of these interactions and their impact on cancer progression and therapeutic resistance.

Misfolding linked mutations of SERPINA1 gene are uncommon in preeclampsia
Archives of Medicine and Health Sciences, 2019 Background: Alpha-1 antitrypsin (A1AT) is a protease inhibitor that plays an important role in regulating oxidative stress in preeclampsia (PE). Recent studies have shown that A1AT is misfolded in PE.

An antibody raised against a pathogenic serpin variant induces mutant-like behaviour in the wild-type protein. [PDF]
, 2015 A monoclonal antibody (mAb) that binds to a transient intermediate may act as a catalyst for the corresponding reaction; here we show this principle can extend on a macro-molecular scale to the induction of mutant-like oligomerisation in a wild-type ...
