We prepared cell lysates in the absence or presence of the zinc-metalloprotease inhibitor 1,10-phenanthroline and examined the levels and integrity of ten previously reported host cell GP63 substrates. major metacyclic promastigotes for various time points. To this end, we infected bone marrow-derived macrophages with either wild type, Δgp63, and Δgp63+ GP63 L.
In the present study, we re-examined the cleavage/degradation of reported GP63 substrates when GP63 activity was efficiently neutralized during the preparation of cell lysates.
Given the potent proteolytic activity of GP63, identification of its substrates requires the adequate preparation of cell lysates to prevent artefactual degradation during cell processing. The major mode of action of this virulence factor entails the cleavage/degradation of host cell proteins.
Sometimes, the only way to live your life is to lean on the ones who love you.Colonization of host phagocytic cells by Leishmania metacyclic promastigotes involves several parasite effectors, including the zinc-dependent metalloprotease GP63. They bring me into their circle, determined to protect me and help me on my new path.īut sometimes, we get in our own way. The only thing that’s worth getting up for in the morning is my new friends, a group of guys who have made it their mission to put me under their wing. My best friends are far away, my dance career is on hold, and the family drama is movie-worthy. My life has never been a bed of roses, to begin with, but being here? It’s hell. So now it’s a new school, new life, new town. But when my mom drops a bombshell on me, that we’re moving to her hometown hours away, all the secrets come out, including the fact that the man who I’ve called dad my whole life, is really my uncle. My life consisted of secrets, escape, two best friends, and most importantly, dance. Until recently, I had no family, aside from my mom and dad. My father’s successful, and my mother’s devoted to seeing me and my siblings succeed… Oh, wait…that’s not my life at all. I live in a beautiful mansion on top of a hill and want for nothing. My name is Peyton, and I have a charmed life.
