Carbohydrate-controlled serine protease inhibitor (serpin) production in Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum

Abstract The Serine Protease Inhibitor (serpin) protein has been suggested to play a key role in the interaction of bifidobacteria with the host. By inhibiting intestinal serine proteases, it might allow bifidobacteria to reside in specific gut niches. In inflammatory diseases where serine proteases...
