Journal ArticleDOI
Endolysosomal proteolysis and its regulation.
TL;DR: The view is emerging that lysosomes are organelles for the storage of hydrolases, perhaps in an inactivated form, and such systems would permit simultaneous regulation of a number of unrelatedhydrolases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cathepsin B and D are Localized at the Surface of Human Breast Cancer Cells.
Mansoureh Sameni,Edith Elliott,Grace Ziegler,Philip H. Fortgens,Clive Dennison,Bonnie F. Sloane +5 more
TL;DR: The altered trafficking of cathepsins B and D may be of functional significance in malignant progression of human breast epithelial cells and in human breast carcinoma lines MCF-7 and BT20.
Journal ArticleDOI
The cysteine protease cathepsin B in cancer
Edith Elliott,Bonnie F. Sloane +1 more
TL;DR: The results of recent studies suggest that cathepsins B and L are more stable in the extracellular environment than previously believed and so could play a significant extrace cellular role in invasive cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neutrophil tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases-1 occurs in novel vesicles that do not fuse with the phagosome
TL;DR: Density gradient cofractionation with the least dense, secretory population and some pleomorphism of the organelle suggest it is a "vesicle" rather than a "granule" population, which suggests that TIMP-1 vesicle biogenesis occurs between metamyelocytic and terminal differentiation and before secretory vesicles synthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anti-peptide antibodies to cathepsins B, L and D and type IV collagenase. Specific recognition and inhibition of the enzymes.
TL;DR: Anti-peptide antibodies were raised against synthetic peptides selected from the sequences of human cathepsins B and L, porcine cat hepsin D and human type IV collagenase to find those found to recognise and inhibit the native enzyme and were also able to discriminate between denaturedCathepsin L and B on Western blots.
