K11777 deactivates enzymes called cysteine proteases, which a schistosome needs to digest proteins drawn from human blood. Their primary structure includes four conserved cysteine residues, and they are categorized into four subfamilies known as CXC, CC, C, and CX3C according to the positions of the first two cysteine residues. The enzyme in the resistant strains is called Mir1-CP or maize insect resistance cysteine protease. |
