The malaria parasite egress protease SUB1 is a calcium-dependent redox switch subtilisin. [PDF]
Malaria is caused by a protozoan parasite that replicates within an intraerythrocytic parasitophorous vacuole. Release (egress) of malaria merozoites from the host erythrocyte is a highly regulated and calcium-dependent event that is critical for disease

Crystal structure of subtilisin DY, a random mutant of subtilisin Carlsberg [PDF]
The crystal structure of subtilisin DY inhibited by N‐benzyloxycarbonyl‐Ala‐Pro‐Phe‐chloromethyl ketone has been solved by molecular replacement with subtilisin Carlsberg as the starting model. The model has been refined to a crystallographic R factor (= Σ∣∣Fo∣−∣Fc∣∣ / Σ∣Fo∣) of 15.1 % using X‐ray diffraction data to 0.175 nm resolution.

Subtilisin-like proteases, also known as subtilases, are a very diverse family of serine peptidases present in many organisms. In grapevine, there are hints of the involvement of subtilases in defence mechanisms, but their role is not yet understood. The

Leucoagaricus gongylophorus uses leaf-cutting ants to vector proteolytic enzymes towards new plant substrate [PDF]
The mutualism between leaf-cutting ants and their fungal symbionts revolves around processing and inoculation of fresh leaf pulp in underground fungus gardens, mediated by ant fecal fluid deposited on the newly added plant substrate.

This review highlights recent advances in integrating biocatalysis and chemocatalysis in continuous flow to create streamlined, sustainable processes. It examines chemo‐enzymatic cascades combining at least one enzymatic and one chemical step, discusses challenges such as enzyme immobilization, leaching, and reactor clogging, and presents solutions ...

Kinetic evidence for two different productive substrate binding sites in subtilisins [PDF]
Public data made available to citizens must meet certain characteristics to guarantee it can be easily reused to generate new information or services and, ultimately, to increase the transparency of public bodies.

Non-canonical proteolytic activation of human prothrombin by subtilisin from Bacillus subtilis may shift the procoagulant\ue2\u80\u93anticoagulant equilibrium toward thrombosis [PDF]
Blood coagulation is a finely regulated physiological process culminating with the factor Xa (FXa)-mediated conversion of the prothrombin (ProT) zymogen to active -thrombin (T).

Restricting detergent protease action to surface of protein fibres by chemical modification [PDF]
Due to their excellent properties, such as thermostability, activity over a broad range of pH and efficient stain removal, proteases from Bacillus sp. are commonly used in the textile industry including industrial processes and laundry and represent ...

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.
