| Tellurium is a rare element which has been regarded as a toxic, non-essential trace element and its biological role is not clearly established to date. Besides of that, the biological effects of elemental tellurium and some of its inorganic and organic derivatives have been studied, leading to a set of interesting and promising applications. As an example, it can be highlighted the uses of alkali-metal tellurites and tellurates in microbiology, the antioxidant effects of organotellurides and diorganoditellurides and the immunomodulatory effects of the non-toxic inorganic tellurane, named AS-101, and the plethora of its uses. Inasmuch, the nascent applications of organic telluranes (organotelluranes) as protease inhibitors and its applications in disease... |

| This article reports on the design and characteristics of substrate mimetics in protease-catalyzed reactions. Firstly, the basis of protease-catalyzed peptide synthesis and the general advantages of substrate mimetics over common acyl donor components are described. The binding behavior of these artificial substrates and the mechanism of catalysis are further discussed on the basis of hydrolysis, acyl transfer, protein-ligand docking, and molecular dynamics studies on the trypsin model. The general validity of the substrate mimetic concept is illustrated by the expansion of this strategy to trypsin-like, glutamic acid-specific, and hydrophobic amino acid-specific proteases. Finally, opportunities for the combination of the substrate mimetic strategy with... |

| Studies concerning the antigenicity of thyroglobulin fragments allow the characterization of the epitopes but do not consider the role of heavier antigenic fragments that could result in vivo from the action of endoproteases. Here we assess the relative importance of the fragments obtained from thyroglobulin by limited proteolysis with trypsin and compare by immunoblotting their reactivity to serum from patients with autoimmune (Graves' disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis) and non-autoimmune (subacute thyroiditis) disease. The results showed no difference in frequency of recognition of any peptide by sera from patients with autoimmune thyroiditis. In contrast, sera from patients with subacute thyroiditis reacted more frequently with a peptide of 80 kDa.... |

| Thirty-two clinical isolates of Enterococcus faecalis were screened for virulence factors. Twenty-four (75%) isolates produced hemolysin on Mueller-Hinton blood agar plates with sheep erythrocytes. However, the cell free heat-stable hemolysin was detected in all isolates (100%) of E. faecalis when grown in BHI-GA (BHI medium supplemented with 1% glucose and 0.03% L-arginine), but not in BHI broth alone. Twenty-four isolates (75%) produced caseinase and 23 (71.9%) lipase, but none of the isolates produced gelatinase. Fifteen (46.9%) culture filtrates caused rounding and membrane alterations with blebbing formation followed by death in HeLa and HEp-2 cells, but not in Vero cells. Thirteen isolates (40.6%) agglutinated rabbit erythrocytes, but did not produce... |

| Proteases hydrolyze the peptide bonds of proteins into peptides and amino acids, being found in all living organisms, and are essential for cell growth and differentiation. Proteolytic enzymes have potential application in a wide number of industrial processes such as food, laundry detergent and pharmaceutical. Proteases from microbial sources have dominated applications in industrial sectors. Fungal proteases are used for hydrolyzing protein and other components of soy beans and wheat in soy sauce production. Proteases can be produced in large quantities in a short time by established methods of fermentation. The parameters such as variation in C/N ratio, presence of some sugars, besides several other physical factors are important in the development of... |

| Bacillus sp. SMIA-2 cresceu e secretou proteases quando cultivado em culturas líquidas contendo citrato trissódico como fonte de carbono e nitrato de amônio como fonte de nitrogênio. A atividade máxima da enzima foi alcançada após 8 horas de incubação do microrganismo, com níveis de 7,2 U.mg -1 proteína. A suplementação do meio com 2,0 mM de CaCl2 não proporcionou um aumento da atividade da protease, porém aumentou a sua estabilidade de 2 para 4 horas. A redução da concentração do fosfato de potássio no meio de cultura de 11,0 para 5,0 mM promoveu um acréscimo de 82% (13 U.mg -1 proteína) na atividade da protease. A substituição do nitrato de amônio presente no meio de cultura por 0,1% de soro de queijo aumentou a atividade da protease para 25 U.mg -1... |

| O isolamento e a identificação de microrganismos em leite cru se tornam interessantes do ponto de vista de saúde pública, pois dependendo das espécies isoladas, ações direcionadas podem ser tomadas visando a melhoria de sua qualidade. A deterioração do leite é conseqüência sobretudo do crescimento de microrganismos psicrotróficos, que produzem lipases e proteases termoestáveis que não são desnaturadas durante o processo de pasteurização, conferindo sabores e odores rançoso e amargo, respectivamente. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi isolar e identificar os principais gêneros de bactérias pertencentes à família Enterobacteriaceae, Gram-negativas oxidase positiva, gêneros Staphylococcus e Enterococcus, bem como atividade de lipases e proteases de 16... |

| Protease and α-amylase production by a thermophilic Bacillus sp. SMIA-2 cultivated in liquid cultures containing 0.25% (w/v) starch as a carbon source reached a maximum at 18 hours (47 U.mg-1 Protein) and 36 hours (325 U.mg-1 Protein), respectively. Culture medium supplementation with whey protein concentrate (0.1%, w/v) and corn steep liquor (0.3%, w/v) not only improved the production of both enzymes but also enabled them to be produced simultaneously. Under these conditions, α-amylase and protease production reached a maximum in 18 hours with levels of 401 U.mg-1 protein and 78 U.mg-1 protein, respectively. The compatibility of the enzymes produced with commercial laundry detergent was investigated. In the presence of Campeiro® detergent, α-amylase... |

| Cigarrinhas são as principais pragas da pastagem e da cana-de-açúcar, destacando-se os gêneros Deois e Mahanarva. Essas pragas vêm causando sérios danos a estas culturas na região de Tangará da Serra, MT, Brasil. O fungo Metarhizium anisopliae é considerado um eficiente agente para o controle biológico de insetos, possuindo vários fatores de virulência, incluindo a produção de proteases, consideradas fundamentais no processo de penetração através da cutícula do inseto. Este trabalho tem como objetivos analisar a produção de proteases extracelulares a partir de isolados de M. anisopliae, utilizando substratos cuticulares e não-cuticulares, e verificar a influência desses substratos na expressão dessas enzimas. Foram utilizados 4 isolados de M. anisopliae... |

| Peptides are molecules of paramount importance in the fields of health care and nutrition. Several technologies for their production are now available, among which chemical and enzymatic synthesis are especially relevant. The present review pretends to establish a non-biased appreciation of the advantages, potentials, drawbacks and limitations of both technologies. Chemical synthesis is thoroughly reviewed and their potentials and limitations assessed, focusing on the different strategies and challenges for large-scale synthesis. Then, the enzymatic synthesis of peptides with proteolytic enzymes is reviewed considering medium, biocatalyst and substrate engineering, and recent advances and challenges in the field are analyzed. Even though chemical synthesis... |

| Mycoplasmas are very fastidious in their nutritional requirements for in vitro growth and have limited biosynthetic capacity, a reflection of their reduced genomes. As a result, these bacteria depend upon external metabolites for nutrition and growth and have developed dependence on their hosts for survival and maintenance. Protein degradation and peptide importation play an important role in Mycoplasma spp. nutrition, and proteases can play a role in host adaptation and pathogenicity. Here, we present a general survey on the genes involved in protein degradation, secretion and importation, comparing all available Mollicute genomes. |
