Cathepsin L by parasites - occurrence, features, functions
Perháčová, Terézia ; Mikeš, Libor (advisor) ; Kašný, Martin (referee)
Cathepsines L are lysosomal cysteine endopeptidases with an universal function in protein catabolism. This work discusses present knowledge about their characteristics in the context of their specific function in parasites. Features and function differences are described in detail on molecular level. The emphasis is on the biochemical properties with resultant use of these enzymes. Cathepsines L of kinetoplastida, aplikomplexa, entamoeba and helmints (focused on Fasciola spp and Schistosoma spp) are each discussed in appropriate chapters. Key words: hydrolase, protease, cysteine peptidase, cathepsin L, lysosome, parasite
