Anticancer drugs kill susceptible cells through induction of apoptosis. Alterations of apoptotic pathways in drug-resistant tumor cells leading to apoptosis deficiency might represent a potent mechanism conferring drug resistance. We have assessed the effect of etoposide and cisplatin on the

The premature abscission of flowers and fruits limits crop yield under environmental stress. Drought-induced flower drop in tomato plants was found to be regulated by phytosulfokine (PSK), a peptide hormone previously known for its growth-promoting and immune-modulating activities. PSK formation

The cysteine proteinases cathepsins B and L have collagenolytic potential and so have been implicated in connective-tissue breakdown in chronic periodontitis. Synthetic peptide substrates are often used to detect proteolytic enzymes. The action of homogenates of inflamed gingiva tissue against
This study measures the time-dependence of cellular caspase activation by anticancer drugs and compares it with that of cellular respiration. Intracellular caspase activation and cellular respiration were measured during continuous exposure of Jurkat, HL-60, and HL-60/MX2 (deficient in topoisomerase-II) cells

N-trifluoromethylcoumarinylamide derivatives of benzyloxycarbonyl-Arg-Arg, benzyloxycarbonyl-Phe-Arg and Arg are convenient chromogenic and fluorogenic substrates of cathepsin B, L and H, respectively. Benzyloxycarbonyl-Phe-Arg-N-trifluoromethylcoumarinylamide is also a highly sensitive substrate for papain.
