A structure-derived snap-trap mechanism of a multispecific serpin from the dysbiotic human oral microbiome
2017, Journal of Biological ChemistryHow serpins transport hormones and regulate their release
2017, Seminars in Cell and Developmental BiologyCitation Excerpt :The revelation that the release of hormones from their serpin transporters in the blood is not an on-and-off process but is subtly modulated by dynamic movements of the intact reactive loop, is now opening new understandings in endocrine medicine [9,10]. Initially the recognition and naming of the serpins as a protein family focused on the protease inhibitors in human plasma [11–16]. But at the same time there was also much interest in the identification in human plasma of three non-inhibitory members of the serpin family − the hormone carriers: angiotensinogen [17], thyroxine-binding globulin [18] and corticosteroid-binding globulin [19].

2016, BiochimieCitation Excerpt :The serpins belong to the I4 family of protease inhibitors and constitute a large family of proteins found in animals, plants and different microorganisms [1]. Serpins regulate a wide range of physiological processes including blood coagulation, complement activation, inflammation, extracellular matrix remodeling, and tumor suppression [2], and their main characteristic is the inhibition of serine proteases [3,4]. Most serpins inhibit peptidases from one or several different clans [5], and in the intact serpin the reactive center constitutes an exposed mobile loop with the P1–P1′ residues acting as a bait for the target protease and responsible for defining their primary peptidase inhibitory specificity [6–8].
