Discovery of digestive enzymes in carnivorous plants with focus on proteases.

Only registered users can translate articles

UNASSIGNED Carnivorous plants have been fascinating researchers with their unique characters and bioinspired applications. These include medicinal trait of some carnivorous plants with potentials for pharmaceutical industry. UNASSIGNED This review will cover recent progress based on current studies

Nepenthesin protease activity indicates digestive fluid dynamics in carnivorous nepenthes plants.

Only registered users can translate articles

Carnivorous plants use different morphological features to attract, trap and digest prey, mainly insects. Plants from the genus Nepenthes possess specialized leaves called pitchers that function as pitfall-traps. These pitchers are filled with a digestive fluid that is generated by the plants

Expression and characterization of plant aspartic protease nepenthesin-1 from Nepenthes gracilis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Carnivorous plants of the genus Nepenthes produce their own aspartic proteases, nepenthesins, to digest prey trapped in their pitchers. Nepenthesins differ significantly in sequence from other aspartic proteases in the animal or even plant kingdoms. This difference, which also brings more cysteine

Aspartic protease nepenthesin-1 as a tool for digestion in hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry.

Only registered users can translate articles

Hydrogen/deuterium exchange coupled to mass spectrometry (HXMS) utilizes enzymatic digestion of proteins to localize the information about altered exchange patterns in protein structure. The ability of the protease to produce small peptides and overlapping fragments and provide sufficient coverage

An aspartyl protease inhibitor orthologue expressed by Parelaphostrongylus tenuis is immunogenic in an atypical host.

Only registered users can translate articles

Parelaphostrongylus tenuis is a neurotropic nematode common in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) of eastern North America. This parasite is the causative agent of a debilitating neurologic disease in atypical hosts, including domestic livestock. In order to identify proteins of potential

Cathepsin B-like and hemoglobin-type cysteine proteases: stage-specific gene expression in Angiostrongy cantonensis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Three cysteine protease genes, cathepsin B-like enzyme gene 1, 2 (AC-cathB-1, AC-cathB-2) and hemoglobin-type cysteine protease gene (AC-hem) were isolated and described from Angiostrongylus cantonensis adult. The deduced amino acid sequence of Ac-cathB-1 and AC-cathB-2 contain all of the conserved

Expression, purification and crystallization of VP4 protease from Tellina virus 1.

Only registered users can translate articles

Tellina virus 1 is an aquabirnavirus that was isolated from the sand-dwelling marine bivalve mollusc Tellina tenuis. The self-encoded protease viral protein 4 (VP4) processes its own polyprotein to yield the individual proteins VP2 and VP3 that are required for viral assembly. VP4 protease utilizes

Crystal structure of a viral protease intramolecular acyl-enzyme complex: insights into cis-cleavage at the VP4/VP3 junction of Tellina birnavirus.

Only registered users can translate articles

Viruses of the Birnaviridae family are characterized by their bisegmented double-stranded RNA genome that resides within a single-shelled non-enveloped icosahedral particle. They infect birds, aquatic organisms, and insects. Tellina virus 1 (TV-1) is an Aquabirnavirus isolated from the mollusk

Novel proteases from the genome of the carnivorous plant Drosera capensis: Structural prediction and comparative analysis.

Only registered users can translate articles

In his 1875 monograph on insectivorous plants, Darwin described the feeding reactions of Drosera flypaper traps and predicted that their secretions contained a "ferment" similar to mammalian pepsin, an aspartic protease. Here we report a high-quality draft genome sequence for the cape sundew,

Proteomic analysis of secreted protein induced by a component of prey in pitcher fluid of the carnivorous plant Nepenthes alata.

Only registered users can translate articles

The Nepenthes species are carnivorous plants that have evolved a specialized leaf organ, the 'pitcher', to attract, capture, and digest insects. The digested insects provide nutrients for growth, allowing these plants to grow even in poor soil. Several proteins have been identified in the pitcher

Carnivorous Nutrition in Pitcher Plants (Nepenthes spp.) via an Unusual Complement of Endogenous Enzymes.

Only registered users can translate articles

Plants belonging to the genus Nepenthes are carnivorous, using specialized pitfall traps called "pitchers" that attract, capture, and digest insects as a primary source of nutrients. We have used RNA sequencing to generate a cDNA library from the Nepenthes pitchers and applied it to mass

Regulation of enzyme activities in carnivorous pitcher plants of the genus Nepenthes.

Only registered users can translate articles

UNASSIGNED Nepenthes regulates enzyme activities by sensing stimuli from the insect prey. Protein is the best inductor mimicking the presence of an insect prey. Carnivorous plants of the genus Nepenthes have evolved passive pitcher traps for prey capture. In this study, we investigated the ability
