Autoprocessing of neutrophil elastase near its active site reduces the efficiency of natural and synthetic elastase inhibitors
2015
Elastase secreted by immune cells contributes to various lung diseases; however, elastase inhibitors have mostly failed in the clinic. Here, the authors discover a second, truncated form of elastase, which is the result of autocatalytic cleavage and is not well targeted by current synthetic elastase inhibitors.
