VEGF121 como Mediador de Efeitos Cardioprotetores Pós-Hipóxia via CaSR e via da Protease Dependente de Mitocôndria

Arq. bras. cardiol; 117 (3), 2021
Resumo Fundamento: A doença cardiovascular é a principal causa de morte em todo o mundo. A apoptose mediada por hipóxia em cardiomiócitos é uma das principais causas de distúrbios cardiovasculares. O tratamento com a proteína do fator de crescimento endotelial vascular (VEGF, do inglês vascular ...

Obtención de hidrolizados proteicos de leguminosas usando una proteasa recombinante de Pseudomonas aeruginosa M211

Rev. chil. nutr; 47 (3), 2020
El género Pseudomonas es una fuente importante de proteasas; sin embargo, su uso está restringido en la industria alimentaria. El clonaje permite aprovechar la capacidad catalítica de estas enzimas mediante su producción en microorganismos inocuos. Por otro lado, las leguminosas son fuentes ricas en ...

Improved protease activity of Pixian broad bean paste with cocultivation of Aspergillus oryzae QM-6 and Aspergillus niger QH-3

BACKGROUND: The preparation of broad bean koji is a key process in the production of Pixian broad bean paste (PBP). Protease is essential for the degradation of proteins during PBP fermentation. To obtain broad bean koji with high protease activity using the cocultivated strains of Aspergillus oryzae QM-...

Diversity and antimicrobial activity of culturable fungi associated with sea anemone Anthopleura xanthogrammica

Background: The main objective of this study was to isolate fungi associated with Anthopleura xanthogrammica and measure their antimicrobial and enzymatic activities. A total of 93 fungal strains associated with A. xanthogrammica were isolated in this study, of which 32 isolates were identified using bot...

Bioprospection of proteases from Halobacillus andaensis for bioactive peptide production from fish muscle protein

BACKGROUND: Biologically active peptides produced from fish wastes are gaining attention because their health benefits. Proteases produced by halophilic microorganisms are considered as a source of active enzymes in high salt systems like fish residues. Hence, the aim of this study was the bioprospection...

Degradation of keratin substrates by keratinolytic fungi

Background: The hydrolysis of keratin wastes by microorganisms is considered a biotechnological alternative for recycling and valorization through keratinolytic microorganisms. Despite their resistant structure, keratin wastes can be efficiently degraded by various microorganisms through the secretion of...
