Watanabe L, de Moura P, Bleicher L, Nascimento A, Zamorano L, Calvete J, et al.
J Struct Biol . 2009 Oct; 169(2):226-42. PMID: 19854274
Royal palm tree peroxidase (RPTP) is a very stable enzyme in regards to acidity, temperature, H(2)O(2), and organic solvents. Thus, RPTP is a promising candidate for developing H(2)O(2)-sensitive biosensors for...

de Moura P, Watanabe L, Bleicher L, Colau D, Dumoutier L, Lemaire M, et al.
FEBS Lett . 2009 Mar; 583(7):1072-7. PMID: 19285080
Interleukin-22 (IL-22) plays an important role in the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses in mammals. The IL-22 binding protein (IL-22BP), a soluble receptor that specifically binds IL-22, prevents the...

Watanabe L, de Moura P, Silva Nascimento A, Colau D, Dumoutier L, Renauld J, et al.
Acta Crystallogr Sect F Struct Biol Cryst Commun . 2009 Feb; 65(Pt 2):102-4. PMID: 19193995
Interleukin-22 (IL-22) is a pleiotropic cytokine that is involved in inflammatory responses. Human IL-22 was incubated with its soluble decoy receptor IL-22BP (IL-22 binding protein) and the IL-22-IL-22BP complex was...

Zamorano L, Pina D, Arellano J, Bursakov S, Zhadan A, Calvete J, et al.
Biochimie . 2008 Aug; 90(11-12):1737-49. PMID: 18725267
The structural stability of a peroxidase, a dimeric protein from royal palm tree (Roystonea regia) leaves, has been characterized by high-sensitivity differential scanning calorimetry, circular dichroism, steady-state tryptophan fluorescence and...

Bleicher L, de Moura P, Watanabe L, Colau D, Dumoutier L, Renauld J, et al.
FEBS Lett . 2008 Aug; 582(20):2985-92. PMID: 18675809
Interleukin-22 (IL-22) is a member of the interleukin-10 cytokine family, which is involved in anti-microbial defenses, tissue damage protection and repair, and acute phase responses. Its signaling mechanism involves the...
