Items for "proteolysis"

High urokinase expression contributes to the angiogenic properties of endothelial cells derived from circulating progenitors

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) display a unique ability to repair vascular injury and promote neovascularization although the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood...

Keywords: Endothelial progenitor, urokinase, Angiogenesis, proteolysis

Plasma prekallikrein/kallikrein processing by lysosomal cysteine proteases

Plasma kallikrein plays a role in coagulation, fibrinolysis and inflammation. Cathepsins B and L participate in (patho)physiological processes such as peptide antigen processing, tissue remodeling events, protein turnover in cells, hormone processing and tumor invasion...

Keywords: cathepsins, kallikrein, kinin system, proteolysis

Cellular prion protein acquires resistance to proteolytic degradation following copper ion binding

The conversion of cellular prion protein (PrPC) into its pathological isoform (PrPSc) conveys an increase in hydrophobicity and induces a partial resistance to proteinase K (PK)...

Keywords: BSE, prion protein, proteinase K, proteolysis, scrapie

Degradation of the sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) by the ubiquitin-proteasome system

The sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (Ntcp, Slc10a1) is the major uptake system for bile acids into liver cells...

Keywords: aggresome, integral membrane proteins, N-linked glycosylation, proteasome, proteolysis, ubiquitin

Evidence for a common regulation in the activation of a polyphenol oxidase by trypsin and sodium dodecyl sulfate

Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) was extracted from beet root, in both soluble and membrane fractions, and in both cases the enzyme was in a latent state...

Keywords: Beta vulgaris, betalains, latency, proteolysis, tyrosinase

Platelets promote coagulation factor XII-mediated proteolytic cascade systems in plasma

Blood coagulation factor XII (FXII, Hageman factor) is a plasma serine protease which is autoactivated following contact with negatively charged surfaces in a reaction involving plasma kallikrein and high-molecular-weight kininogen (contact phase activation)...

Keywords: bradykinin, Coagulation, inflammation, kallikrein-kinin system, plasma proteins, proteolysis

Identification of calpain cleavage sites in the G1 cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p19INK4d

Calpains are a large family of Ca2+-dependent cysteine proteases that are ubiquitously distributed across most cell types and vertebrate species...

Keywords: calpain, calpastatin, cyclin-dependent kinases, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, proteolysis, p19INK4d

Regulation of cathepsin K activity by hydrogen peroxide

Although cysteine cathepsins, including cathepsin K, are sensitive to oxidation, proteolytically active forms are found at inflammatory sites...

Keywords: cysteine cathepsin, inflammation, Oxidation, protease, proteolysis, sulfenic acid
