.... In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae , Nma111p functions as a nuclear serine protease that is necessary for apoptosis under cellular stress conditions, such as elevated temperature or treatment of cells with hydrogen peroxide to induce cell death. We have examined the role of nuclear protein import...

...W. Brian Saunders; Kayla J. Bayless; George E. Davis Previous work has shown that endothelial cell (EC)-derived matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) regulate regression of capillary tubes in vitro in a plasmin- and MMP-1 dependent manner. Here we report that a number of serine proteases can activate...
