Neutral proteases, essential components of purified tissue dissociation enzymes required for successful human islet isolation, show variable activities and effects of substrate on their activities. Initially we used a spectrophotometric endpoint assay with azocasein substrate to measure neutral protease activity.

Clostripain-specific antibodies were used to analyse the maturation of clostripain prepro-enzyme and core protein heterologously synthesized in Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. Core protein purified from E. coli cells harbouring plasmid pHM3-23 underwent calcium-dependent, self-triggered maturation. Concomitantly, the inactive form

In this study we investigate the active-site structure and the catalytic mechanism of clostripain by using a combination of three separate techniques: affinity labelling, site-directed mutagenesis and molecular modelling. A benzamidinyl-diazo dichlorotriazine dye (BDD) was shown to act as an
Antibacterial activity of casein-derived peptides isolated from rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) milk.

Acid-precipitated rabbit 'whole casein' was digested by trypsin, chymotrypsin, pepsin, and clostripain to screen for possible peptides with antibacterial properties. The peptide fragments were separated by reversed-phase chromatography. The collected fractions were pooled and their antibacterial properties tested against Escherichia

A highly active form of clostripain, composed of two polypeptide chains (Mr = 43,000 and 12,500), was isolated by hydrophobic chromatography from the culture medium of Clostridium histolyticum. It differs in amino acid composition, namely in the value for cyst(e)ine
The Journal of biological chemistry, 280(39), 33687-33692 (2005-07-20)
Ntcp is a phosphoprotein, and its translocation by cAMP to the plasma membrane is associated with dephosphorylation. However, the phosphorylation site(s) of Ntcp is not known. Thus, the aim of the present study was to determine the potential Ntcp phosphorylation

Clostridium perfringens produces a homologue of clostripain (Clo), the arginine-specific endopeptidase of Clostridium histolyticum. To determine the biochemical and biological properties of the C. perfringens homologue (Clp), it was purified from the culture supernatant of a recombinant C. perfringens strain

Clostridium histolyticum culture supernatant contains numerous enzymes, which exert a cytotoxic effect on host cells. This includes lethal toxin, clostripain and high-potassium-sensitive toxin. Since the number of C. histolyticum infections increased during the last several years, it seems worthwhile to
