The Structure of Subtilisin Novo
The amino acid composition of subtilisin Novo has been determined. The compositions of all of the 14 expected tryptic peptides from subtilisin Novo were obtained or deduced. A total of 281 residues was found by analysis of the protein, in good agreement with the total of 275 residues in the expected 14 tryptic peptides.

Safety assessment of subtilisin QK in rats
Background Subtilisin QK is a serine protease in the subtilisin family, and is fermented by Bacillus subtilis QK02. The fibrinolytic activity of subtilisin QK was measured by detecting low molecular weight degradation products using a spectrophotometric ...

A novel familial mutation in the PCSK1 gene that alters the oxyanion hole residue of proprotein convertase 1/3 and impairs its enzymatic activity. [PDF]
Four siblings presented with congenital diarrhea and various endocrinopathies. Exome sequencing and homozygosity mapping identified five regions, comprising 337 protein-coding genes that were shared by three affected siblings. Exome sequencing identified

Pharmaceutically modified subtilisins withstand acidic conditions and effectively degrade gluten in vivo [PDF]
Detoxification of gluten immunogenic epitopes is a promising strategy for the treatment of celiac disease. Our previous studies have shown that these epitopes can be degraded in vitro by subtilisin enzymes derived from Rothia mucilaginosa, a natural ...

"Fluctuograms" reveal the intermittent intra-protein communication in subtilisin Carlsberg and correlate mechanical coupling with co-evolution. [PDF]
The mechanism of intra-protein communication and allosteric coupling is key to understanding the structure-property relationship of protein function. For subtilisin Carlsberg, the Ca²+-binding loop is distal to substrate-binding and active sites, yet the

Toward an Alternative Intrinsic Probe for Spectroscopic Characterization of a Protein [PDF]
The intrinsic fluorescent amino acid tryptophan is the unanimous choice for the spectroscopic investigation of proteins. However, several complicacies in the interpretation of tryptophan fluorescence in a protein are inevitable and an alternative ...

Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...

The hydrolysis of the three clupein components by subtilisin Novo, subtilisin Carlsberg and nitrated subtilisin Carlsberg [PDF]
The three components of clupein (YI, YII and Z) were hydrolyzed by subtilisin Carlsberg and subtilisin Novo. Subtilisin Novo hydrolyzed all three components much faster than did subtilisin Carlsberg, but components YII and Z were hydrolyzed with the same initial rate and faster than component YI.
