A novel alpha-addition of propiolates to urazoles followed by Michael addition of a variety of nucleophiles has been developed for rapid production and optimization of peptidomimetic drug leads. This technology has produced a number of highly potent and selective inhibitors of the serine protease,
Virion uncoating is a critical step in the life cycle of mammalian orthoreoviruses. In cell culture, and probably in extraintestinal tissues in vivo, reovirus virions undergo partial proteolysis within endosomal or/or lysosomal compartments. This process converts the virion into a form referred to
The measurement of interleukin (IL)-5 in sputum is problematic, with interfering factors affecting immunoassay. The authors investigated whether sputum proteases could be acting as interfering factors by studying the effect of protease inhibitors (PI) on sputum IL-5 measurement. Induced sputa from
Psoriasis is an inflammatory disorder characterized by a T helper type 1 cell cytokine pattern. Increased expression of adhesion molecules, prominent neutrophil accumulation, and increased production of nitric oxide are characteristics of this disorder. Moreover, histamine and proteases are supposed
The effects of peptides and polyethylene glycol (PEG) on the immobilization of protease using glutaraldehyde-activated Lewatit R258-K resin were investigated. When soy peptide was added at 0.1 g/l, the activity recovery and effectiveness factor increased by 20% and 38%, respectively. When PEG4000
The growth performance and nutrient utilization responses of White Pekin ducks to a commercial enzyme preparation were investigated. The enzyme contained 4,000 units amylase, 12,000 units protease, and 1,600 units xylanase per gram. Twelve pens of 10 ducks were fed diets based on corn and soybean
The aim of this study was to investigate the biochemical disintegration effect of hydrolytic enzymes in lab scale experiments. Influences of enzyme addition on the biogas yield as well as effects on the process stability were examined. The addition of proteases occurred with low and high dosages in
The dorsoventral axis of the Drosophila embryo is defined by a ventral signal that arises within the perivitelline space, an extracellular compartment between the embryo plasma membrane and the vitelline membrane layer of the eggshell. Production of the ventral signal requires four members of the
Bacillus subtilis Bios11 strain was previously isolated and identified. This strain naturally produces a high level of alpha-amylase. The multicopy (pS1) plasmid that carries the complete alkaline protease aprA gene was introduced to this host strain by transformation. The newly constructed strain
A new activity of alkaline protease from Bacillus subtilis for Michael addition reactions of imidazole, 4-nitro-1H-imidazole and 2-methyl-4-nitro-1H-imidazole with acrylates and acrylic acid was investigated. The reactions were carried out in pyridine at 50 degrees C for 72 h. Five N-substituted
In the present study the effect of feeding the soybean-derived Bowman-Birk protease inhibitor (BBI) on dimethylhydrazine (DHM)-induced gastrointestinal tract and liver carcinogenesis in mice was examined. In this investigation we found the addition of 0.5 or 0.1% semipurified BBI or 0.1% purified
Posttranslational modification of proteins with ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like modifiers such as SUMO can be reverted by specific proteases, also referred to as deubiquitinases and isopeptidases, most of which are cysteine-dependent. We have found that the replacement of the conserved C-terminal
Human interleukin-2 (hIL-2) was produced as a recombinant fusion protein (G3.IL-2/HF) consisting of three tandem-arranged human glucagon molecules (G3) and hIL-2. For the recovery of hIL-2, a factor Xa (FXa) cleavage sequence was introduced next to the N-terminus of hIL-2. Cleavage efficiency on
Gabexate mesilate is a non-peptide protease inhibitor, developed in Japan, which is used in the treatment of acute pancreatitis and disseminated intravascular coagulation. This compound is readily hydrolyzed as it has ester bonds in its structure. It is now out of patent in Japan and there are many
