    • A Boophilus microplus vitellin-degrading cysteine endopeptidase 

      Seixas, Adriana; Santos, Patricia Coutinho dos; Velloso, Fernando F.; Vaz Junior, Itabajara da Silva; Masuda, Aoi; Horn, Fabiana; Termignoni, Carlos (2003) [Journal article]
      Here we describe the purification and characterization of a vitellin (VT) degrading cysteine endopeptidase (VTDCE) from eggs of the hard tick Boophilus microplus. A homogeneous enzyme preparation was obtained by chromatographic ...

    • Localization and function of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus vitellin-degrading cysteine endopeptidase 

      Seixas, Adriana; Estrela, Andreia Bergamo; Ceolato, Juliana Casagrande; Pontes, Emerson Guedes; Lara, Flávio Alves; Gondim, Katia Calp; Termignoni, Carlos (2010) [Journal article]
      The tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus is an important parasite of cattle in many areas of the tropics. Characterization of molecules involved in mechanisms such as vitellogenesis and embryo development may contribute ...
