Microbial Killing: Oxidants, Proteases and Ions
There is accumulating evidence that two aspects of the innate immune response, the respiratory burst and secretion of proteases, are intimately intertwined. A recent study suggests that K(+) may be the missing link. Is it time to merge signal transduction with biophysics?
متن کاملVersatility of microbial proteases
Proteases or peptidases constitute the largest group of enzymes in bio-industry with a long array of uses. They play an invincible role in industrial biotechnology, especially in detergent, food and pharmaceutical arena. This focused review encompasses an overview on alkaline proteases, mainly of microbial sources in a handy module. Following an introduction and general classification with evol...
متن کاملMolecular and biotechnological aspects of microbial proteases.
Proteases represent the class of enzymes which occupy a pivotal position with respect to their physiological roles as well as their commercial applications. They perform both degradative and synthetic functions. Since they are physiologically necessary for living organisms, proteases occur ubiquitously in a wide diversity of sources such as plants, animals, and microorganisms. Microbes are an a...
متن کاملA Review on Microbial Alkaline Proteases
Alkaline prorcasex are of considcruhlc interest in view of their activity and stability at alkaline pll. This review describes the protcascs that can resist extreme alkaline environments produced by a wide range of ulk alophilic microorg anisms. Different isol.uion methods which enable the screening and selection of promising organisms 1'01' industrial production are discussed. The various nutr...
متن کاملMechanisms of microbial escape from phagocyte killing.
Phagocytosis and phagosome maturation are crucial processes in biology. Phagocytosis and the subsequent digestion of phagocytosed particles occur across a huge diversity of eukaryotes and can be achieved by many different cells within one organism. In parallel, diverse groups of pathogens have evolved mechanisms to avoid killing by phagocytic cells. The present review discusses a key innate imm...
