A cathepsin L protease essential for Caenorhabditis elegans embryogenesis is functionally conserved in parasitic nematodes.

Molecular and biochemical parasitology - 1 Jun 2002

Britton Collette, Murray Linda

Abstract excerpt

Proteolytic enzymes are involved in processes important to development and survival of many organisms. Parasite proteases are considered potential targets of parasite control yet, for most, their precise physiological functions are unknown. Validation of potential targets requires analysis of function. We have recently identified a cathepsin L (CPL) cysteine protease, Ce-CPL-1, which is essential for embryonic...
