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 ...

Transcription of Bacillus subtilis subtilisin and expression of subtilisin in sporulation mutants [PDF]
The start point for transcription of the subtilisin (aprE) gene was determined by primer extension analysis and was found to be at a point significantly different from that identified in a previously published report (S. L. Wong, C. W. Price, D. S. Goldfarb, and R. H. Doi, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 81:1184-1188, 1984).
