Kidney-Specific Membrane-Bound Serine Proteases CAP1/Prss8 and CAP3/St14 Affect ENaC Subunit Abundances but Not Its Activity

Simona Frateschi, Sévan Stroh

The serine proteases CAP1/Prss8 and CAP3/St14 are identified as ENaC channel-activating proteases in vitro, highly suggesting that they are required for proteolytic activation of ENaC in vivo. The present study tested whether CAP3/St14 is relevant for rena ...

Development of cyclic peptides that can be administered orally to inhibit disease targets

Christian Heinis, Manuel Leonardo Merz

Cyclic peptides can bind challenging disease targets, but their oral application is hindered by digestion and absorption issues. We developed a versatile method for the synthesis and functional screening of vast numbers of synthetic cyclic peptides and ide ...

Assessment of metal-based dihydrofolate reductase inhibitors on a novel mesofluidic platform

Paul Joseph Dyson, Sarah Alexandra Pais Pereira

A new miniaturized micro sequential injection coupled with the lab-on-valve (mu SIA-LOV) technique was full-blown to perform inhibitory studies on dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). The system was used to evaluate the DHFR inhibition activity of metal-based a ...

Bacterial matrix metalloproteases and serine proteases contribute to the extra-host inactivation of enteroviruses in lake water

Tamar Kohn, Virginie Bachmann

Enteroviruses are ubiquitous contaminants of surface waters, yet their fate in presence of microbial congeners is poorly understood. In this work, we investigated the inactivation of Echovirus-11 (E11) and Coxsackievirus-A9 (CVA9) by bacteria isolated from ...

Boosted Pro-Inflammatory Activity in Human PBMCs by Lipopolysaccharide and SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Is Regulated by alpha-1 Antitrypsin

Florian Maria Wurm, Divor Kiseljak

For the treatment of severe COVID-19, supplementation with human plasma-purified alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) to patients is currently considered. AAT inhibits host proteases that facilitate viral entry and possesses broad anti-inflammatory and immunomodulato ...

Umpolung Of Electron-Rich Heteroarenes With Hypervalent Iodine Reagents

Jérôme Waser, Raj Kumar Nandi

Five-membered heterocycles are well known for their innate nucleophilicity. In contrast, reaction of these heterocycles as electrophiles is less established and has become only recently an intensively investigated research area in synthetic chemistry. The ...

Human proteinase 3 resistance to inhibition extends to alpha-2 macroglobulin

Marc Moniatte

Polymorphonuclear neutrophils contain at least four serine endopeptidases, namely neutrophil elastase (NE), proteinase 3 (PR3), cathepsin G (CatG), and NSP4, which contribute to the regulation of infection and of inflammatory processes. In physiological co ...
