1. Efeitos de uma desintegrina RGD recombinante de Rhinocerophis alternatus (Bothrops alternatus) na migração de células normais e tumorais
Cell migration, invasion of the surrounding tissues, blood vessels and proliferation are cellular processes involved in metastases. These events are mediated by integrins, adhesion receptors present on cell surfaces and responsible for the extracellular matrix and cells binding. Disintegrins, snake venoms polypeptides, are known to inhibit integrins action,

2. Efeitos da ovariectomia e treinamento resistido na atividade da metaloproteinase-2 no tendão calcâneo de ratas
Tendons remodeling relies upon extracellular matrix restructuring by the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). The aim of this study was to investigate MMP-2 activity in different regions of the calcanear tendon after resistance training in ovariectomized rats. Wistar adult female rats were grouped into: sedentary (Sed-Intact); ovariectomized sedentary (Sed-Ovx)

3. Efeitos dos esteróides anabólicos androgênicos sobre a bioquímica, morfologia, biomecânica e expressão gênica de diferentes tendões de ratos submetidos ao exercício de carga
O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar os efeitos do salto vertical em associação com esteróide anabólico androgênico (EAA) nas propriedades bioquímicas, biomecânicas, morfológicas e a expressão dos principais genes responsáveis pelo remodelamento do tendão calcâneo (TC), tendão flexor superficial (TFS) e tendão flexor profundo (TFP) de ratos. Rat

4. Remodelamento do miocárdio no exercício com componente anaeróbico.
The extracellular matrix (ECM) components are continuously synthesized and degraded at distinct rates in a process called remodeling involving the expression of matrix metallopeptidases (MMPs) and their inhibitors (TIMPs) in physiological (growth, exercise) or pathological (high blood pressure, myocardial infarction) conditions. The expression of myosin heav

5. Catalytic Domain Architecture of Metzincin Metalloproteases*
Metalloproteases cleave proteins and peptides, and deregulation of their function leads to pathology. An understanding of their structure and mechanisms of action is necessary to the development of strategies for their regulation. Among metallopeptidases are the metzincins, which are mostly multidomain proteins with ∼130–260-residue globular catalytic do

6. AAA proteases with catalytic sites on opposite membrane surfaces comprise a proteolytic system for the ATP-dependent degradation of inner membrane proteins in mitochondria.
The mechanism of selective protein degradation of membrane proteins in mitochondria has been studied employing a model protein that is subject to rapid proteolysis within the inner membrane. Protein degradation was mediated by two different proteases: (i) the m-AAA protease, a protease complex consisting of multiple copies of the ATP-dependent metallopeptida

7. cDNA cloning and expression of bovine procollagen I N-proteinase: A new member of the superfamily of zinc-metalloproteinases with binding sites for cells and other matrix components
Procollagen N-proteinase (EC 3.4.24.14) cleaves the amino-propeptides in the processing of type I and type II procollagens to collagens. Deficiencies of the enzyme cause dermatosparaxis in cattle and sheep, and they cause type VIIC Ehlers–Danlos syndrome in humans, heritable disorders characterized by accumulation of pNcollagen and severe skin fragility.
