• Abstract

  Our proposal is to study peptidases involved in different biological systems and performing very diversified functions. Thus, in this project, we will continue the study of the participation of Plasmodium proteases in the pathophysiology of malaria, expanding the results obtained in the previous project (FAPESP 2015-11861-2). Also in this line, we will seek inhibitors of the different cla…

• Abstract

  The purpose of this project is to use the experience of our group, gained in over 20 years of work with proteolytic enzymes, to characterize proteases of Plasmodium and theirs involvement in the pathophysiology of malaria. Analysis of the P. falciparum genome has allowed the identification of approximately 90 proteases that are involved in numerous processes, including degradation of hemo…

• Abstract

  Studies on the structure and mechanisms of action of bioactive peptides and peptidases in experimental models of infectious diseases and cancer. All subprojects depend on an active sector of synthesis and analysis of peptides as installed at the Biophysics Department of UNIFESP. Peptides and peptidases are so broadly involved in the functioning of cells and multicellular organisms that vi…

• Abstract

  Huanglongbing (HLB) is one of the major diseases of citrus, which is caused by the Gram-negative bacteria of the genus Candidatus Liberibacter The main symptoms of HLB in plants are the yellowing of the branches, chlorosis of the leaves and damages to the fruits, which become asymmetric, small, with aborted seeds and bitter taste. In Asia and the Americas, the spread of the disease occur…

• Abstract

  In 2015, the World Health Organization reported 214 million cases of malaria distributed worldwide, with approximately 438,000 deaths. During its life cycle, the malaria parasite invades vertebrate host erythrocytes , where a single parasite reproduces asexually producing 16 to 32 for parasites. The high rate of intra-erythrocytic proliferation is dependent on the uptake of a series of…

• Abstract

  Brazil is one of the largest producers and exporters of oranges in the world, with the State of São Paulo the largest citrus producer in the country. However, in recent years the citrus genus plants have been strongly affected by various diseases and among these, the HLB disease (HLB) have been highlighted by severely compromising the development of plants, causing losses in fruit product…
