Topic: Cathepsin B


In the News (Tue 29 Dec 09)

  
  RedNova News - Science - HaCaT Keratinocytes Secrete Lysosomal Cysteine Proteinases During Migration   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Cell surface- association of active cathepsin B was observed during spontaneous and induced migration, suggesting a contribution of cathepsin B to dissociation of cellular contacts and to ECM remodelling to enable keratinocytes to populate free surface areas during growth, and to facilitate keratinocyte migration during wound healing.
Cathepsin B activity is detected in association with perinuclear vesicles corresponding to lysosomes, or extracellularly at the plasma membrane of keratinocytes at the wound margins (c', f', arrowheads, punctate lines denote the cell surfaces).
Cathepsin B was already suggested as an important enzyme for proteolysis of ECM constituents during the propagation of streptococcal infections of mouse skin (Lukomski et al., 1999).
