1. Localization and function of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus vitellin-degrading cysteine endopeptidase
The tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus is an important parasite of cattle in many areas of the tropics. Characterization of molecules involved in mechanisms such as vitellogenesis and embryo development may contribute to a better understanding of this parasite’s physiology. The vitellin-degrading cysteine endopeptidase (VTDCE) is the most active enzy

2. Structure of the streptococcal endopeptidase IdeS, a cysteine proteinase with strict specificity for IgG
Pathogenic bacteria have developed complex and diverse virulence mechanisms that weaken or disable the host immune defense system. IdeS (IgG-degrading enzyme of Streptococcus pyogenes) is a secreted cysteine endopeptidase from the human pathogen S. pyogenes with an extraordinarily high degree of substrate specificity, catalyzing a single proteolytic cleavage

3. Differential expression of soybean cysteine proteinase inhibitor genes during development and in response to wounding and methyl jasmonate.
Three cysteine proteinase inhibitor cDNA clones (pL1, pR1, and pN2) have been isolated from a soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) embryo library. The proteins encoded by the clones are between 60 and 70% identical and contain the consensus QxVxG motif and W residue in the appropriate spatial context for interaction with the cysteine proteinase papain. L1, R1, and
