This study is the first to demonstrate the activity of putative cellulosomal protease/peptidase inhibitors (named cyspins) of Clostridium cellulovorans, using the Saccharomyces cerevisiae display system. Cyspins exhibited inhibitory activities against several representative plant proteases. This suggests that these inhibitors protect their microbe and cellulosome from external attack by plant proteases.
这项研究首次利用酿酒酵母展示系统证明了纤维素分解梭菌(Clostridium cellulovorans)假定的纤维小体蛋白酶/肽酶抑制剂(命名为 cyspin)的活性。Cyspin 对几种代表性的植物蛋白酶表现出抑制活性。这表明这些抑制剂可以保护微生物及其纤维小体免受植物蛋白酶的外部攻击。
