Ready, set, cleave: Proteases in action

Seth J. Salpeter, Galia Blum

Research output: Contribution to journalShort surveypeer-review

Abstract

Activity-based probes are small molecules that can be used to monitor enzyme activity by covalently binding to specific residues in the active site. In this issue of Chemistry & Biology, Lu and colleagues developed a specific fluorescent activity-based probe that targets the papain-like cysteine bacterial type III effector protease AvrPphB and used it to demonstrate the regulation of the protease secretion and pathogenesis.
