PLANT-PIs: a database for plant protease inhibitors and their genes
PLANT-PIs is a database developed to facilitate retrieval of information on plant protease inhibitors (PIs) and related genes. For each PI, links to sequence databases are reported together with a summary of the functional properties of the molecule (and its mutants) as deduced from literature. PLANT-PIs contains information for 351 plant PIs, plus several isoinhibitors. The database is accessi...
متن کاملThe nutritional significance of plant protease inhibitors.
It has been recognized for many years that the nutritive value and protein digestibility of many plant proteins, particularly those derived from legumes, are very poor unless subjected to cooking or some other form of heat treatment (Liener & Kakade, 1969). This beneficial effect of heat has beem generally attributed, at least in part, to the destruction of a unique class of proteins which have...
متن کاملPlant protease inhibitors: a defense strategy in plants
Proteases, though essentially indispensable to the maintenance and survival of their host organisms, can be potentially damaging when overexpressed or present in higher concentrations, and their activities need to be correctly regulated. An important means of regulation involves modulation of their activities through interaction with substances, mostly proteins, called protease inhibitors. Some...
متن کاملMendel, a database of nomenclature for sequenced plant genes
The Mendel database contains names for plant-wide families of sequenced plant genes. The names have either been approved by the Commission on Plant Gene Nomenclature (CPGN), an organization of the International Society for Plant Molecular Biology (ISPMB), or are identified as provisional or temporary names. Mendel also identifies the corresponding genes in individual species of plants. Mendel c...
متن کاملPlant Protease Inhibitors in Therapeutics-Focus on Cancer Therapy
Plants are known to have many secondary metabolites and phytochemical compounds which are highly explored at biochemical and molecular genetics level and exploited enormously in the human health care sector. However, there are other less explored small molecular weight proteins, which inhibit proteases/proteinases. Plants are good sources of protease inhibitors (PIs) which protect them against ...
