Recombinant human cathepsin X is a carboxymonopeptidase only: a comparison with cathepsins B and L
(Walter de Gruyter & Co, 2005-11-01)
The S-1 and S-2 subsite specificity of recombinant human cathepsins X was studied using fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) peptides with the general sequences Abz-Phe-Xaa-Lys(Dnp)-OH and Abz-XaaArg-Lys(Dnp)-OH, ...
Sequence and function of lysosomal and digestive cathepsin D-like proteinases of Musca domestica midgut
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2009)
Musca domestica larvae display in anterior and middle midgut contents, a proteolytic activity with pH optimum of 3.0-3.5 and kinetic properties like cathepsin D. Three cDNAs coding for preprocathepsin D-like proteinases ...
Role of cathepsin S In periodontal wound healing-an in vitro study on human PDL cells
(2018-04-05)
Background: Cathepsin S is a cysteine protease, which is expressed in human periodontal ligament (PDL) cells under inflammatory and infectious conditions. This in vitro study was established to investigate the effect of ...
Plasminogen hydrolysis by cathepsin S and identification of derived peptides as selective substrate for cathepsin V and cathepsin L inhibitor
(Walter de Gruyter Gmbh, 2010-05-01)
Plasminogen is a glycoprotein implicated in angiogenesis and fibrin clot degradation associated with the release of angiostatin and plasmin activation, respectively We have recently reported that cathepsin V. but not ...
Localization of Cathepsins D and B at the Maternal-Fetal Interface and the Invasiveness of the Trophoblast during the Postimplantation Period in the Mouse
(KARGER, 2011)
A survey of existing data suggests that trophoblast cells produce factors involved in extracellular matrix degradation. In this study, we correlated the expression of cathepsins D and B in the murine ectoplacental cone ...
Defining the substrate specificity of mouse cathepsin P
(Elsevier B.V., 2005-03-01)
Cathepsin P is a recently discovered placental cysteine protease that is structurally related to the more ubiquitously expressed, broad-specificity enzyme, cathepsin L. We studied the substrate specificity requirements of ...
Cathepsin X binds to cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans
(Elsevier B.V., 2005-04-15)
Glycosaminoglycans have been shown to be important regulators of activity of several papain-like cathepsins. Binding of glycosaminoglycans to cathepsins thus directly affects catalytic activity, stability or the rate of ...
Cyclic, Linear, Cycloretro-Isomer, and Cycloretro-Inverso Peptides Derived from the C-Terminal Sequence of Bradykinin as Substrates or Inhibitors of Serine and Cysteine Proteases
(Springer, 2004-05-01)
We investigated the inhibition of trypsin, human tissue (hK1) and human plasma kallikrein (HuPK), papain, and cathepsin L, B, and X by synthetic cyclic, cycloretro-isomer, cycloretro-inverso, and linear peptides derived ...
Assessment of cathepsin mRNA expression and enzymatic activity during early embryonic development in the yellowtail kingfish Seriola lalandi
(Elsevier B.V., 2017)
© 2017 Elsevier B.V. In pelagic species such as Seriola lalandi, survival of both the eggs and embryos depends on yolk processing during oocyte maturation and embryo development. The main enzymes involved in these processes ...
