Engineering thermostability in serine protease inhibitors.
Unlike most globular proteins, the native form of serine protease inhibitors (serpins) is strained. Previous studies of human alpha(1)-antitrypsin, a prototype plasma serpin, revealed that various unfavorable interactions, such as overpacking of side chains, buried polar groups and cavities, are the structural basis of the strain. The local strain could be relieved by various stabilizing single...
متن کاملSerine proteases of the complement system.
The complement system in blood plasma is a major mediator of innate immune defence. The function of complement is to recognize, then opsonize or lyse, particulate materials, including bacteria, yeasts and other microrganisms, host cell debris and altered host cells. Recognition occurs by binding of complement proteins to charge or saccharide arrays. After recognition, a series of serine proteas...
متن کاملSerine proteases, inhibitors and receptors in renal fibrosis.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is estimated to affect one in eight adults. Their kidney function progressively deteriorates as inflammatory and fibrotic processes damage nephrons. New therapies to prevent renal functional decline must build on basic research studies that identify critical cellular and molecular mediators. Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), a potent fibrosis-promoting glyc...
متن کاملEpidermal Serine Proteases and Their Inhibitors in Atopic Dermatitis
The skin and its appendages protect the body from water loss, chemical and physical damages, UV-radiation and infection by pathogenic as well as non-pathogenic microbes. The protective function of both, the physical and the chemical barrier, is provided from epidermal keratinocytes, which are continuously dividing in the stratum basale and differentiating towards the surface (Candi et al. 2005)...
