Abstract:The Trichinella spiralis novel cystatin (TsCstN) inhibits cathepsin L (CatL) activity and inflammation of macrophages during lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induction. To identify the protease inhibitory region, this study applied an in silico modeling approach to simulate truncation sites of TsCstN (Ts01), which created four truncated forms, including TsCstN∆1-39 (Ts02), TsCstN∆1-71 (Ts03), TsCstN∆1-20, ∆73-117 (Ts04), and TsCstN∆1-20, ∆42-117 (Ts05). The superimposition of these truncates modeled with AlphaFold Col… Show more
