Multiple gains of spliceosomal introns in a superfamily of vertebrate protease inhibitor genes (2009)

Ragg, Hermann, Kumar, Abhishek, Köster, Katharina, Bentele, Caterina, Wang, Yunjie, Frese, Marc-André, ...

Abstract Background Intron gains reportedly are very rare during evolution of vertebrates, and the mechanisms underlying their creation are largely unknown. Previous investigations have shown that,...

Hemmung von Proproteinkonvertasen durch das Branchiostoma-Serpin Bl-Spn1 und Charakterisierung eines neuen humanen Serpins (2008)

Bentele, Caterina

Proproteinkonvertasen (PCs) aktivieren eine Vielzahl von (patho)-physiologisch relevanten Vorläuferproteinen im sekretorischen Pfad. Zur Aufrechterhaltung des zellulären Gleichgewichts muss ihre...

A proprotein convertase-inhibiting serpin with an endoplasmic reticulum targeting signal from Branchiostoma lanceolatum, a close relative of vertebrates

Bentele, Caterina, Krüger, Olaf, Tödtmann, Ulf, Oley, Mareke, Ragg, Hermann

Lancelets are considered to take a key position in the evolution of lineages leading to vertebrates. Herein, a serpin from the lancelet Branchiostoma lanceolatum, Bl-Spn1, was identified that...

The Spn4 gene from Drosophila melanogaster is a multipurpose defence tool directed against proteases from three different peptidase families

Brüning, Mareke, Lummer, Martina, Bentele, Caterina, Smolenaars, Marcel M. W., Rodenburg, Kees W., Ragg, Hermann

By alternative use of four RSL (reactive site loop) coding exon cassettes, the serpin (serine protease inhibitor) gene Spn4 from Drosophila melanogaster was proposed to enable the synthesis of...
