In vitro translation and processing of cathepsin B of Schistosoma mansoni.

The EMBO journal - 1 Feb 1990

Abstract excerpt

Cathepsin B has been implicated with a key role in schistosome metabolism. Here, we investigate the processing of preprocathepsin B to the mature enzyme in in vitro transcription and translation experiments. The cDNA sequence encoding the precursor of cathepsin B of Schistosoma mansoni was cloned...
