Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular and Biotechnological Aspects of Microbial Proteases
TL;DR: Despite the extensive research on several aspects of proteases, there is a paucity of knowledge about the roles that govern the diverse specificity of these enzymes and deciphering these secrets would enable to exploit proteases for their applications in biotechnology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chickpea Defensive Proteinase Inhibitors Can Be Inactivated by Podborer Gut Proteinases
Ashok P. Giri,Abhay Harsulkar,Vasanti Deshpande,Mohini N. Sainani,Vidya S. Gupta,Prabhakar K. Ranjekar +5 more
TL;DR: In vitro and in vivo proteolysis of the early- and late-stage-specific Tis indicated that the chickpea Pis were prone to proteolytic digestion by H. armigera gut proteinases, and data suggest that survival of H.Armigera on chickPEa may result from the production of inhibitor-insensitive proteinases and by secretion of proteinases that digest chickpeA Pis.
Journal ArticleDOI
High activity alkaline protease from Conidiobolus coronatus (NCL 86.8.20) : enzyme production and compatibility with commercial detergents
TL;DR: Its stability over a range of alkaline pH and temperature and its compatibility with commercial detergents was determined, and the enzyme was most stable between pH 6.0–8.5 and at temperatures up to 40°C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complexity in specificities and expression of Helicoverpa armigera gut proteinases explains polyphagous nature of the insect pest.
Aparna G. Patankar,Ashok P. Giri,Abhay Harsulkar,Mohini N. Sainani,Vasanti Deshpande,Prabhakar K. Ranjekar,Vidya S. Gupta +6 more
TL;DR: The diversity in the proteinase activity observed in H. armigera gut and the flexibility in their expression during developmental stages and depending upon the diet provides a base for selection of proper PIs for insect resistance in transgenic crop plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Successive Use of Non-Host Plant Proteinase Inhibitors Required for Effective Inhibition of Helicoverpa armigera Gut Proteinases and Larval Growth
Abhay Harsulkar,Ashok P. Giri,Aparna G. Patankar,Vidya S. Gupta,Mohini N. Sainani,Prabhakar K. Ranjekar,Vasanti Deshpande +6 more
TL;DR: The optimized combination of potato PI-II and winged bean PIs identified in the present study and their proposed successive use has potential in developing H. armigera-resistant transgenic plants.
