Elastolytic Activities of Various Microbial Proteinases and their Proteolytic Substrate Specificities

Elastolytic proteinases of the human macrophage.

Activation of hageman factor and prekallikrein and generation of kinin by various microbial proteinases.

Activation of the Hageman factor-kallikrein-kinin system by serratial 56-kDa proteinase was previously demonstrated (Matsumoto, K., Yamamoto, T., Kamata, T., and Maeda, H. (1984) J. Biochem. (Tokyo) 96, 739-749; Kamata, R., Yamamoto, T., Matsumoto, K., and Maeda, H. (1985) Infect. Immun. 48, 747-753). To investigate whether the activation of the system is specific for 56-kDa proteinase or is fo...
