Evolutionary Analysis of Cystatins of Early-Emerging Metazoans Reveals a Novel Subtype in Parasitic Cnidarians
(MDPI AG, 2021-02)
The evolutionary aspects of cystatins are greatly underexplored in early-emerging metazoans. Thus, we surveyed the gene organization, protein architecture, and phylogeny of cystatin homologues mined from 110 genomes and ...
Purification and identification of novel antioxidant peptides isolated from geoffroea decorticans seeds with anticoagulant activity
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2021-08)
Geoffroea decorticans is a xerophilous deciduous tree present in most arid forests of southern South America, which is commonly used in traditional medicine. The seeds of this tree have been previously investigated for ...
Preparation of soy protein hydrolysates with antioxidant activity by using peptidases from latex of Maclura pomifera fruits
(Elsevier, 2018-10)
A partially purified proteolytic extract prepared from Maclura pomifera latex was employed in hydrolyzing a soybean-protein isolate (4.2 mg/mL). The hydrolysis-product formation, monitored by tricine–sodium-dodecyl-sulfa ...
Functional and in silico Characterization of Neutralizing Interactions Between Antibodies and the Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus Immunodominant Antigenic Site
(Frontiers Media, 2021-05)
Molecular knowledge of virus–antibody interactions is essential for the development of better vaccines and for a timely assessment of the spread and severity of epidemics. For foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) research, ...
Inhibition of bacterial adherence to vascular catheter of the antimicrobial peptide AP7121
(Fundación Revista Medicina, 2021)
Healthcare-associated bloodstream infections are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients. Vascular catheter-related infection is its main source. Gram-positive bacteria specially Staphylococcus ...
Evidence that changes in antimicrobial peptides during tuberculosis are related to disease severity, clinical presentation, specific therapy and levels of immune-endocrine mediators
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020-02)
Given the role of host defense peptides (HDPs) in the defensive response against mycobacteria, we analyzed the circulating levels of LL-37, β-defensin-2 and -3 in newly diagnosed patients with pulmonary (PTB) or pleural ...
An allatotropin-like neuropeptide in Mesostoma ehrenbergii (Rhabdocoela, Platyhelminthes)
(Springer, 2012-03)
Allatotropin (AT), a neuropeptide isolated on the basis of its ability to stimulate the synthesis of juvenile hormones (JHs) in insects, has also been found in other groups. In addition to this function, AT has proved to ...

Potato Snakin-1 Gene Silencing Affects Cell Division, Primary Metabolism, and Cell Wall Composition
(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2012-01)
Snakin-1 (SN1) is an antimicrobial cysteine-rich peptide isolated from potato (Solanum tuberosum) that was classified as a member of the Snakin/Gibberellic Acid Stimulated in Arabidopsis protein family. In this work, a ...
