  2. 1. Neutral proteases of rodent mast cells

    Author : Carolina Lunderius; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell and molecular biology; Mast cell; serine protease; MMCP; RMCP; heparin; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; immunologi; Immunology;

    Abstract : Mast cells are important effector cells in general as well as in allergic inflammation andin the defence against helminthic parasites and bacteria. Two major populations, withdifferences in tissue distribution, have been identified; connective tissue mast cells andmucosal mast cells. READ MORE

  4. 2. A thermostable alkaline protease from a new alkaliphilic Nesterenkonia sp

    Author : Shahrzad Bakhtiar; Bioteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; substrate specificity; crystallization; Biotechnology; Bioteknik; DNA-DNA hybridisation; 16S rDNA analysis; phenotypic characterisation; circular dichroism; differential scanning calorimetry; Nesterenkonia abyssinica; stability; calcium-independent; alkaline protease; alkaliphilic;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns a novel alkaline protease produced by an extremophilic microbial specie, designated as AL20, isolated from a feather sample collected at the shore of the alkaline soda lake Abjata in the Ethiopian Rift Valley. The isolate is a heterotrophic, alkaliphilic, halotolerant gram-positive, strictly aerobic, non-motile, non-spore forming bacterium. READ MORE

  5. 3. Assembly and proteolytic cleavages of gel-forming mucins

    Author : Martin Lidell; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : mucins; MUC2; MUC5AC; dimer; trimer; cleavage; Entamoeba histolytica; cysteine protease;

    Abstract : Gel-forming mucins are large glycoproteins constituting the main structural component of themucus layer protecting epithelial surfaces of the body. This thesis aims to a deeper understandingof how gel-forming mucins are synthesized and assembled, and how they may interact with othermolecules. READ MORE

  6. 4. Virulence determinants of the insect pathogen Bacillus thuringiensis; : Molecular characterization of flagellins and the virulence protease immune inhibitor A

    Author : Ann Lövgren; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Abstract : Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a motile, Gram positive, rod-shaped and spore-forminginsect pathogenic bacterium found on plants and in soil. The main insecticidal activityresides in a proteinacious crystal inclusion body (the S-endotoxin), but also the sporesare important for lethality. READ MORE

  7. 5. Chymotrypsin/trypsin-related serine proteases : A structural, functional and evolutionary analysis

    Author : Maryam Poorafshar; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biochemistry; serine proteases; proteoglycans; mast cells; basophils; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi; immunologi; Immunology;

    Abstract : Is life possible without proteolytic enzymes? Proteases participate in almost everyaspect of life and they can be found throughout the body and in every cell. Mast cells,together with basophils are, two important effector cells of the immune system. READ MORE
