1. Caracterização de proteinases envolvidas na geração de peptídeos antimicrobianos no intestino de Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus. / CE. Characterization of proteinases involved in the generation of antimicrobial peptides in the gut of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus.
It is known that hemoglobin is a rich source of antimicrobial peptides (hemocidins). The first hemoglobin-derived hemocidin characterized in ticks was the peptide Hb33-61, which is active against Gram-positive bacteria and fungi. It is believed that hemocidins are endogenously generated in the tick gut. In this work we biochemically characterized a cathepsin
