DETECTION OF SECRETED PROTEASES AND A MEMBRANE PROTEASE IN PATHOGENIC ACANTHAMOEBA CULBERTSONI
… has also been documented in the literature that secreted Acanthamoeba proteases have the ability to degrade components of the extracellular matrix. The role of amoebic proteases in mediating the attachment and invasion processes is not entirely understood. Initial experiments conducted in the …

The Immune Inhibitor A1 Protease of <em>Bacillus Anthracis</em>
… utilizes multiple mechanisms to regulate secreted factors; one example is the activity of secreted proteases. One of the most abundant proteins in the culture supernates of <em>B. anthracis</em> is the Immune Inhibitor A1 (InhA1) protease. Here, I demonstrate that InhA1 modulates the …

Studies on the effects of sub-minimal inhibitory concentrations of antibiotics on the virulence factors of biofilm bacteria
… of the pathogen comes from investigation of its secreted proteases and cytotoxins (leucocidin). Virulence-specific azocasein and micro-culture tetrazolium (MTT) assays against both monospecies and binary biofilms of <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> indicate significant increases in virulence …

Understanding the role of TapA in the formation of <i>B. subtilis</i> biofilms: a biochemical and genetic analysis
… is dependent on the proteolytic activity of secreted proteases. Subsequently, it was found that a limited part of the N-terminus of the TapA protein is sufficient to restore rugosity to a ΔtapA mutant biofilm. Genetic analysis of the minimal functional unit identified key amino acids needed …

Cannabinoid Modulation of Chemotaxis of Macrophages and Macrophage-like Cells
… upon Activation Normal T-cell Expressed and Secreted) and to Acanthamoeba conditioned medium containing secreted proteases. The partial agonist delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), administered in vitro, inhibited the chemotactic response of peritoneal macrophages to the chemokine RANTES and …

Infections of the Norway lobster, Nephrops norvegicus (L.) by dinoflagellate and ciliate parasites
… The ciliate was found to secrete a number of proteases into the culture medium, and these are exclusively of the metallo type They have gelatinolytic and azocaseinolytic activities and are active at the physiological temperature and haemolyph pH of the host. Secreted proteases were selective …
