Abstract:

μ -Calpain is localized to the mitochondrial intermembrane space. Apoptosisinducing factor (AIF), which executes caspase-independent cell death, is also localized to the mitochondrial intermembrane space. Following processing at the N-terminus, AIF becomes truncated (tAIF) and is released from mitochondria. The protease responsible for AIF processing has not been established. The same submitochondrial localization of mitochondrial μ-calpain and AIF gives support to the hypothesis that mitochondrial μ-calpain may be responsible for processing AIF.

Abstract:

Calpain 5 (CAPN5) is a non-classical member of the calpain family. It lacks the EF-hand motif characteristic of the classical calpains, calpain 1 and 2, but retains catalytic and Ca2+ binding non EF domains. Tra-3, an ortholog of CAPN5, is involved in necrotic cell death in C.elegans; although specific role of CAPN5 has not been investigated in the mammalian CNS. I compared relative mRNA levels of calpains in rat CNS, which revealed that CAPN5 is the second most highly expressed calpain. We examined relative levels of CAPN5 from late embryonic day 18 to postnatal day 90 and found lower mRNA bu

Abstract:

Neutrophils are phagocytic white blood cells which act as the first line of defence against entry of foreign microorganisms. Neutrophils are recruited to their target site through the process of spreading, extravasation and phagocytosis involving complex signal transduction within the cells, which might include the activation of the cytosolic Ca2+ activated protease, calpain-1. The work described here investigates the role of calpain-1 in regulating neutrophil functions such as spreading, trans-endothelial migration, chemotaxis, phagocytosis and Ca2+ signalling.

Trypanosomatid parasites are unicellular eukaryotes characterised by the presence of a subpellicular array of microtubules, a single flagellum, and a kinetoplast (containing the condensed mitochondrial DNA). The majority of trypanosomatid species undergo complex life-cycles, alternating between a mammalian host and an insect vector. Progression through this life-cycle requires the differentiation of trypanosomatids into distinct, niche adapted developmental forms. Differentiation into each life-cycle stage involves important biochemical and morphological changes, including the remodelling of t

Abstract:

The calcium activated cysteine protease calpain-I has a pivotal role in a variety of physiological processes within the human body. In particular calpain-I enables the cell spreading and subsequent chemotaxis behaviour of neutrophils in response to tissue damage. Neutrophils are linked to the pathological condition rheumatoid arthritis and so calpain-I is considered be a valuable therapeutic target. Many inhibitors of calpain-I are highly non-selective with the exception of two small molecule synthetic inhibitors. A phenyl and an indole-based α-mercaptoacrylic acid have shown a slight selectiv

The skeletal muscle specific calpain-3 plays a key role in skeletal muscle integrity and has also been linked to insulin resistance in humans and rodents.

Abstract:

The mechanism by which β-agonists induce skeletal muscle hypertrophy is believed largely to be through a reduction in protein degradation. These growth promoters are also known to effect the activity of the calcium dependent proteinases (calpains) and their specific endogenous inhibitor calpastatin. The changes in activity appear to be toward a decrease in the calpain system's proteolytic potential. In this study attempts were made to determine whether the altered activity of the enzymes and inhibitor were brought about by induced changes in gene expression as reflected by altered levels of sp

Calpains are a ubiquitous family of calcium-dependent cysteine proteases involved in a wide range of cell regulatory and differentiation processes. In many protozoan organisms, atypical calpains have been discovered that lack the characteristic calcium-binding penta-EF-hand motif of typical vertebrate calpains and most of these novel calpain-like proteins are non-enzymatic homologues of typical calpains. The gene family is particularly expanded in ciliates and kinetoplastids, comprising 25 members in the parasite Trypanosoma brucei. Unique to kinetoplastids, some calpain-like proteins contain

Regulated proteolysis plays an important role in modulating the activities of receptors, cytoskeletal proteins and transcription factors during cell growth and development.

The importance of calpains is highlighted through their involvement in a number of pathologies in humans.

Our group has previously shown that Ca2+-dependent proteases, calpains, cleave dysferlin following membrane injury, releasing mini-dysferlinC72, that we hypothesise mediates membrane repair.

Muscular dystrophy is a disease which gradually deteriorates skeletal muscle cells, leading to the eventual death of such cells and the surrounding tissue.

It has been suggested that part of the enhanced deterioration in the dystrophic state is due to enhanced calpain activity; therefore analysis of normal and dystrophic muscle was essential.

Abstract:

2010/2011<br>The calpains are a family of intracellular cysteine proteases, among which the best studied isoforms, micro- (CAPN1) and milli-calpain (CAPN2), are heterodimers consisting of a catalytic subunit and a common regulatory subunit, CAPNS1, required for function. Calpain is involved in many processes important for cancer biology, such as autophagy, indeed in calpain-depleted cells autophagy is impaired, with a subsequent increase in apoptosis sensitivity. Calpain is also important in all the stages of the stress response. A proteomic approach was employed for the identification of nov

Abstract:

Lo scopo principale del progetto di dottorato è stato quello di studiare il ruolo delle calpaine ubiquitarie nella regolazione del processo autofagico. Differenti tecniche biochimiche, di microscopia confocale e elettronica, ci hanno portato all'identificazione di una proteina target della micro-calpaina: Bif-1. L'azione proteasica su Bif-1 sembra sia indispensabile per la fissione e il trasporto di porzioni del Golgi verso il sito di formazione dell'autofagosome.

Abstract:

L’ADN est constamment altéré du fait du métabolisme oxydatif de la cellule ou de l’exposition à des agents génotoxiques. Malgré l’existence de systèmes de réparation efficaces, certaines lésions présentes lors de la phase S bloquent la progression des fourches de réplication. La synthèse translésionnelle (TLS) permet la reprise de la réplication. Pol η est une ADN polymérase TLS capable de franchir et sans erreur les lésions induites par les UV mais pol η est mutagène lorsqu’elle réplique l'ADN non endommagé. Par conséquent, son activité doit être strictement régulée. La thèse présente l’étude

Abstract:

Les cellules souche cancéreuses contribuent au développement des sarcomes, mais le manque de marqueurs spécifiques empêche leur caractérisation et la possibilité de cibler ce type de cellules. Nous avons utilisé la séquence régulatrice de la calpaïne-6 dans des systèmes rapporteurs pour identifier les cellules exprimant la calpaïne-6. Ces cellules étaient des cellules initiatrices de tumeurs et se comportaient comme des cellules souche, au sommet de la hiérarchie cellulaire. L'expression de la calpaïne-6 dépend d’un programme génique de cellules souche qui implique Oct4, Nanog et Sox2 et est a

Abstract:

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o potencial de utilização de marcadores moleculares em genes candidatos da calpaína (CAPN) e calpastatina (CAST) como ferramenta auxiliar para programas de melhoramento de características relacionadas ao crescimento e maciez da carne. Foram avaliados 605 bovinos da raça Nelore, pertencentes à Agropecuária CFM Ltda, com idade média ao abate de 24 meses. Após a extração do DNA de amostras de sangue, por desproteinização em presença de NaCl, a identificação e determinação do polimorfismo para os marcadores moleculares CAPN316, CAPN530, CAPN4751, CAPN4753 e UO
