Longistatin is an unconventional serine protease and induces protective immunity against tick infestation
{{output}}
Classical serine proteases use the conserved Ser/His/Asp catalytic triad to hydrolyze substrates. Here, we show that longistatin, a salivary gland protein with two EF-hand domains from the vector tick Haemaphysalis longicornis, does not have the conserved cata... ...
