Bauhinia Kunitz-type proteinase inhibitors: structural characteristics and biological properties
(Walter de Gruyter & Co, 2008-08-01)
Plant proteinase inhibitors are involved in the regulation of the activity of many proteinases and, in consequence, in biological processes driven by proteolysis. in this review, we summarize recent results on the activity ...
Bauhinia proteinase inhibitor-based synthetic fluorogenic substrates for enzymes isolated from insect midgut and caterpillar bristles
(Walter de Gruyter & Co, 2003-03-01)
Bauhinia ungulata factor Xa inhibitor (BuXI) inactivates factor Xa and LOPAP, a prothrombin activator proteinase isolated from the venom of Lonomia obliqua caterpillar bristles. the reactive site of the enzyme inhibitor ...
Interaction of proteinase inhibitors with phospholipid vesicles is modulated by pH
(Elsevier B.V., 2010-11-01)
rBbKI and rBbCI, plant recombinant inhibitors from Bauhinia bauhinioides, and BpuTI from Bauhinia purpurea seeds distinctly and specifically block proteolytic enzymes. the secondary structures of those inhibitors were ...
A Plant Proteinase Inhibitor from Enterolobium contortisiliquum Attenuates Pulmonary Mechanics, Inflammation and Remodeling Induced by Elastase in Mice
(Mdpi Ag, 2017)
Proteinase inhibitors have been associated with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities and may represent a potential therapeutic treatment for emphysema. Our aim was to evaluate the effects of a plant Kunitz proteinase ...
Proteolytic activity of gut bacteria isolated from the velvet bean caterpillar Anticarsia gemmatalis
(Journal of Comparative Physiology B, 2018)
Molecular evolution of Bowman-Birk type proteinase inhibitors in flowering plants
(Elsevier B.V., 2003-04-01)
The Bowman-Birk family (BBI) of proteinase inhibitors is probably the most studied family of plant inhibitors. We describe the primary structure and the gene expression profile of 14 putative BBIs from the sugarcane expressed ...
Proteomic analysis reveals suppression of bark chitinases and proteinase inhibitors in citrus plants affected by the citrus sudden death disease
(Amer Phytopathological Soc, 2008-10-01)
Citrus sudden death (CSD) is a disease of unknown etiology that greatly affects sweet oranges grafted on Rangpur lime rootstock, the most important rootstock in Brazilian citriculture. We performed a proteomic analysis to ...
A proteinase inhibitor from Caesalpinia echinata (pau-brasil) seeds for plasma kallikrein, plasmin and factor XIIa
(Walter de Gruyter & Co, 2004-11-01)
Caesalpinia echinata is a tree belonging to the Leguminosae family. the red color of the trunk, looking like burning wood ('brasa' in Portuguese), is the origin of the name Brazil. Seeds of leguminous plants contain high ...
Erratum to Action of plant proteinase inhibitors on enzymes of physiopathological importance [An Acad Bras Cienc 81(2009): 615-621]
(Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2010-06-01)
Protease inhibitors extracted from caesalpinia echinata lam. Affect kinin release during lung inflammation
(Springer Heidelberg, 2016)
Inflammation is an essential process in many pulmonary diseases in which kinins are generated by protease action on kininogen, a phenomenon that is blocked by protease inhibitors. We evaluated kinin release in an in vivo ...
