  4. 2. Haematopoietic Serine Proteases : A Cleavage Specificity Analysis

    Author : Michael Thorpe; Lars Hellman; Urban Gullberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mast cell; cleavage specificity; phage display; chymase; serine protease; granzyme; fish protease;

    Abstract : Mast cells are innate immune cells, historically involved in allergy responses involving IgE. Through this, they have earned a reputation as a fairly detrimental cell type. Their beneficial roles remain somewhat enigmatic although they clearly have the ability to modulate the immune system. READ MORE

  5. 3. 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

  7. 5. Intracellular systems for characterization and engineering of proteases and their substrates

    Author : George Kostallas; Stefan Ståhl; Patrik Samuelson; Matthew DeLisa; KTH; []

    Abstract : Over the years, the view on proteases as relatively non-specific protein degradation enzymes, mainly involved in food digestion and intracellular protein turnover, has shifted and they are now recognized as key regulators of many biological processes that determine the fate of a cell. Besides their biological role, proteases have emerged as important tools in various biotechnical, industrial and medical applications. READ MORE
