Journal ArticleDOI
Stored proteinases and the initiation of storage protein mobilization in seeds during germination and seedling growth
TL;DR: The evidence that the small amounts of endopeptidases in protein bodies of embryonic axes and cotyledons of dry seeds from dicotYledonous plants play an important role in the initiation of storage protein mobilization during early germination is summarized here.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity of digestive proteinases in Tenebrio molitor (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) larvae.
K.S. Vinokurov,Elena N. Elpidina,Brenda Oppert,S. Prabhakar,D. P. Zhuzhikov,Yakov E. Dunaevsky,Mikhail A. Belozersky +6 more
TL;DR: Data support a complex system of protein digestion, and the correlation of proteinase activity and pH indicates a physiological mechanism of enzyme regulation in the gut.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aspartic proteinase from wheat seeds: isolation, properties and action on gliadin.
TL;DR: Wheat endosperm was shown to contain an aspartic proteinase capable of hydrolyzing the wheat storage protein, gliadin, in vitro, and it is suggested that the enzyme has an endogenous function by initiating proteolysis of storage proteins in germinating wheat seeds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protease Inhibitors in Improvement of Plant Resistance to Pathogens and Insects
TL;DR: This review concerns the possibility of using plant inhibitors of proteolytic enzymes to improve plant resistance to insects and phytopathogens and has several advantages over the standard methods and is ecologically safe.
Journal ArticleDOI
A chymotrypsin-like proteinase from the midgut of Tenebrio molitor larvae.
Elena N. Elpidina,T. A. Tsybina,Yakov E. Dunaevsky,Mikhail A. Belozersky,D. P. Zhuzhikov,Brenda Oppert +5 more
TL;DR: A chymotrypsin-like proteinase was isolated from the posterior midgut of larvae of the yellow mealworm, Tenebrio molitor, by ion-exchange and gel filtration chromatography and found that the best substrate was SucAAPFpNA, with k(cat app) 36.5 s(-1) and K(m) 1.59 mM.
