Isolation and Characterization of a Cone Snail Protease with Homology to CRISP Proteins of the Pathogenesis-related Protein Superfamily
1 Aug 2003
Abstract excerpt
The pathogenesis-related (PR) protein superfamily is widely distributed in the animal, plant, and fungal kingdoms and is implicated in human brain tumor growth and plant pathogenesis. The precise biological activity of PR proteins, however, has remained elusive. Here we report the characterization, cloning and structural homology modeling of Tex31 from the venom duct of Conus textile. Tex31 was isolated to >95%...
