Inhibition of chicken calpain II by proteins of the cystatin superfamily and alpha 2-macroglobulin was investigated. Human liver cystatins A and B, human cystatin C, chicken cystatin and rat T-kininogen were found not to be inhibitory. Inhibition was, however, observed

Homogeneous porcine calpain (Ca2+-dependent cysteine proteinase) was found to hydrolyze a variety of peptides and synthetic substrates. Leu-Trp-Met-Arg-Phe-Ala, eledoisin-related peptide, alpha-neoendorphin, angiotensin I, luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone, neurotensin, dynorphin, glucagon, and oxidized insulin B chain were cleaved with a general preference

Detecting calpain activity in Drosophila tissues is a fundamental tool to study calpain function. We use differential centrifugation to prepare membrane- versus cytosol-enriched fractions for measuring calpain activity with the fluorogenic substrate N-LY-AMC. With this method one can measure calpain
The resistance of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) to various antibiotics has increased dramatically due to the misuse of antibiotics, and thus the development of new anti-infective drugs with new targets is urgently needed to combat resistance. Caseinolytic peptidase P is
