One of the major challenges in Brazilian sugarcane production is the weevil Sphenophorus levis. The major digestive proteins of S. levis belong to cysteine peptidases (cathepsins L -like). Sugarcane, on the other hand, presents endogenous defense by the production of phytocystatins, cysteine peptidases inhibitors. Based on sugarcane EST library (SUCEST), Laboratory of Molecular Biology …
Natural products libraries are known as medicine molecules providers once these molecules have a high target specificity inherited from the long natural evolutionary process. Thereby, animal, plant and microorganisms' secretions are very important to biotechnological applications. However, despite the large number of molecules that can be found in those secretions, the difficulty on obtai…
Plant cystatins (PhysCys) are tight-binding cysteine protease inhibitors produced by plants. Besides presenting cystatins conserved motifs, they also show an active L-A-R-F-A-V-X (3)-N-terminal sequence that is folded in an alpha-helix. Up to date, Laboratory of Molecular Biology has discovered, produced and characterized six sugarcane cystatins named CaneCPI-1 to CaneCPI-6. Among them, C…
