Emerging data indicate that serine proteases of the kallikrein family (KLK) are implicated in various human diseases, including carcinoma; however, kallikrein gene expression has never been investigated in lung cancer. Using RT-PCR and Western blotting, we demonstrated the expression of both KLK5 and KLK7, and their respective proteins (hK5 and hK7) in tumoral and nontumoral lung tissues. Quantitative gene expression was then analyzed in a cohort of 56 patients with non-small cell lung cancer by real-time RT-PCR. KLK5 expression is significantly more expressed in squamous cell carcinoma than in matched nonmalignant lung tissue (P=0.02), whereas expression of KLK7 was decreased in adenocarcinoma (P=0.003). Multivariate analysis revealed diverse correlations between the KLK5 and KLK7 expression levels in nonmalignant and malignant tissues, and clinical parameters, including histotype, metastatic status, and grade. Our findings provide new insight into kallikrein gene expression in hormone-independent carcinoma. Altogether, our results suggest that variability in KLK5 and KLK7 gene expression might be involved in lung tumorigenesis and useful for clinical purposes. 相似文献

Human kallikrein 8 (KLK8) is a member of the human kallikrein gene family of serine proteases, and its protein, hK8, has recently been suggested to serve as a new ovarian cancer marker. To gain insights into the physiological role of hK8, the active recombinant enzyme was obtained in a pure state for biochemical and enzymatic characterizations. hK8 had trypsin-like activity with a strong preference for Arg over Lys in the P1 position, and its activity was inhibited by typical serine protease inhibitors. The protease degraded casein, fibronectin, gelatin, collagen type IV, fibrinogen, and high-molecular-weight kininogen. hK8 also converted human single-chain tissue-type plasminogen activator (65 kDa) to its two-chain form (32 and 33 kDa) by specifically cleaving the peptide bond Arg275-Ile276. This conversion resulted in a drastic increase in the activity of the activator toward the fluorogenic substrate Pyr-Gly-Arg-MCA and plasminogen in the absence of fibrin. Our findings suggest that hK8 may be implicated in ECM protein degradation in the area surrounding hK8-producing cells. 相似文献

The hydrolytic activity of trypsin, chymotrypsin, elastase, and leucine aminopeptidase, is inhibited by different boronic acids. However, all the enzymes are inhibited by the compound CbzAla(boro)Gly(OH)(2). Therefore, these additives can control the nucleophilic hydrolytic activity of these enzymes. 相似文献

Murine hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase has been purified from liver microsomes by affinity chromatography on 2('),5(')-ADP-Sepharose. The purified enzyme has 6-phosphogluconolactonase activity and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity and has a native molecular mass of 178 kDa and a subunit molecular mass of 89 kDa. Glucose 6-phosphate, galactose 6-phosphate, 2-deoxyglucose 6-phosphate, glucosamine 6-phosphate, and glucose 6-sulfate are substrates for murine hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, with either NADP or deamino-NADP as coenzyme. This study confirms that hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase is a bifunctional enzyme which can catalyze the first two reactions of the pentose phosphate pathway. 相似文献

The human tissue kallikrein (KLK) family contains 15 secreted serine proteases that are expressed in a wide range of tissues and have been implicated in different physiological functions and disease states. Of these, KLK1 has been shown to be involved in the regulation of multiple physiological processes such as blood pressure, smooth muscle contraction, and vascular cell growth. KLK6 is overexpressed in breast and ovarian cancer tissues and has been shown to cleave peptide derived from human myelin protein and Abeta amyloid peptide in vitro. Here we analyzed the substrate specificity of KLK1 and KLK6, by substrate phage display using a random octapeptide library. Consistent with earlier biochemical data, KLK1 was shown to exhibit both trypsin- and chymotrypsin-like selectivities with Tyr/Arg preferred at site P1, Ser/Arg strongly preferred at P1', and Phe/Leu at P2. KLK6 displayed trypsin-like activity, with the P1 position occupied only by Arg and a strong preference for Ser in P1'. Docking simulations of consensus peptide provide information on the identity of the enzyme residues that are responsible for substrate binding. Bioinformatic analysis suggested several putative KLK6 protein substrates, such as ionotropic glutamate receptor (GluR) and synphilin. 相似文献

We describe a chemo-enzymatic synthesis of 3'- and 6'-O-sialyllactose, two trisaccharides occurring in the 'acidic fraction' of the human milk oligosaccharides and endowed with potential antiadhesive activity. The key step is the highly regioselective 6'-O-acylation of benzyllactoside, which gave access to suitably protected lactose building blocks to be used as acceptors in the sialylation reaction. Moreover, the synthesis of the carboxymethyl and sulfo analogues of the title compounds is reported. 相似文献

Change of activity and substrate specificity of human glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase by oxidation
A Yoshida 《Archives of biochemistry and biophysics》1973,159(1):82-88
Human glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase contains about 18 sulfhydryl groups per active dimer (MW = 110,000, and it does not contain S–S bridges. Chloromercuribenzoate stoichinmetrically and reversibly inactivates the enzyme. Oxidation of the enzyme by hydrogen peroxide induces a reduction of enzyme activity, an alteration of the substrate specificity, and an increased anodal electrophoretic mobility. The oxidized enzyme can use 2-deoxyglucose 6-phosphate, deamino NADP, and NAD far more effectively than the native enzyme. Oxidation of the enzyme by air at pH 8.0 does not induce a significant loss of enzyme activity or an alteration of the substrate specificity, although about 70% of the sulfhydryl groups of the enzyme are oxidized by the treatment. 相似文献

Human kallikrein 7, a major protease of human skin, has been synthesized directly in its native conformation in Escherichia coli by forcing the secretion of the newly synthesized polypeptide into the bacterial periplasm. The procedure yields a stable kallikrein 7 with highly specific activity that is inhibited efficiently by its specific inhibitor LEKTI domain 6. The protein was crystallized, and its three-dimensional structure was solved in the absence of protease inhibitors. The structure obtained agrees with that reported recently for human tissue kallikrein 7 crystallized in the presence of protease inhibitors from a preparation obtained in a baculovirus protein expression system. A model of the interaction between the protease and its inhibitor is proposed on the basis of both the three-dimensional structure of human tissue kallikrein 7 reported here and that of the LEKTI domain 6 solved previously by NMR. 相似文献

Glutamine-181 is crucial in the enzymatic activity and substrate specificity of human endoplasmic-reticulum aminopeptidase-1 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
ERAP-1 (endoplasmic-reticulum aminopeptidase-1) is a multifunctional enzyme with roles in the regulation of blood pressure, angiogenesis and the presentation of antigens to MHC class I molecules. Whereas the enzyme shows restricted specificity toward synthetic substrates, its substrate specificity toward natural peptides is rather broad. Because of the pathophysiological significance of ERAP-1, it is important to elucidate the molecular basis of its enzymatic action. In the present study we used site-directed mutagenesis to identify residues affecting the substrate specificity of human ERAP-1 and identified Gln(181) as important for enzymatic activity and substrate specificity. Replacement of Gln(181) by aspartic acid resulted in a significant change in substrate specificity, with Q181D ERAP-1 showing a preference for basic amino acids. In addition, Q181D ERAP-1 cleaved natural peptides possessing a basic amino acid at the N-terminal end more efficiently than did the wild-type enzyme, whereas its cleavage of peptides with a non-basic amino acid was significantly reduced. Another mutant enzyme, Q181E, also revealed some preference for peptides with a basic N-terminal amino acid, although it had little hydrolytic activity toward the synthetic peptides tested. Other mutant enzymes, including Q181N and Q181A ERAP-1s, revealed little enzymatic activity toward synthetic or peptide substrates. These results indicate that Gln(181) is critical for the enzymatic activity and substrate specificity of ERAP-1. 相似文献

Hydrolysis of D-valyl-L-leucyl-L-arginine p-nitroanilide by human tissue kallikrein (hK1) was studied in the absence and in the presence of increasing concentrations of the following chloride salts: sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and aluminium. The data indicate that the inhibition of hK1 by sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium is linear competitive and that divalent cations are more potent inhibitors of hK1 than univalent cations. However the inhibition of hK1 by aluminium cation is linear mixed, with the cation being able to bind to both the free enzyme and the ES complex. This cation was the best hK1 inhibitor. Aluminium is not a physiological cation, but is a known neurotoxicant for animals and humans. The neurotoxic actions of aluminium may relate to neuro-degenerative diseases. 相似文献

Human lactate dehydrogenase 5 (hLDH5) is an important metabolic enzyme playing critical roles in the anaerobic glycolysis. Herein, we employed an in silico method and biological validation to identify a novel hLDH5 inhibitor with a promising cellular activity under hypoxia condition. The identified compound 9 bound to hLDH5 with a Kd value of 1.02 µM, and inhibited the enzyme with an EC50 value of 0.7 µM. Compound 9 exhibited a weak potency against NCI-H1975 cell proliferation under normal condition (IC50 = 36.5 µM), while dramatically increased to 5.7 µM under hypoxia condition. In line with the observation, hLDH5 expression in NCI-H1975 cell under hypoxia condition is much higher as compared to the normal oxygenated condition, indicating the hLDH5 inhibition may contribute to the cancer cell death. 相似文献

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a cytokine that acts on a variety of cell types, including myeloid progenitor cells and B and T lymphocytes. It has been found to activate cytotoxic T cells and natural killer (NK) cells and to induce T-cell-mediated antitumour effects in animal models. In a phase I clinical trial of recombinant human IL-6, 20 patients with advanced cancer were entered to receive daily subcutaneous injections of IL-6 over 7 days followed by a 2-week observation period and another 4 weeks of daily IL-6 injections. Doses varied between 0.5 g/kg and 20 g/ kg body weight and immune functions were monitored throughout. At all dose levels IL-6 administration led to a marked increase in serum levels of C-reactive protein and a moderate rise in complement factor C3. The proportions of CD4, CD8 or HLA-DR lymphocytes in peripheral blood did not alter with IL-6 treatment nor did the in vitro proliferation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells induced by either phytohaemagglutinin, pokeweed mitogen or fixedStaphylococcus aureus. By contrast, NK cell activity, lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cell activity and proliferation induced by in vitro culture with interleukin-2 (IL-2) were suppressed at doses exceeding 2.5 g/kg. Serum IgE levels were consistently elevated over the IL-6 dose range but IgM, IgG and IgA levels were unaffected. In summary there is a dose-dependent induction of acutephase proteins by in vivo IL-6 treatment. At higher IL-6 doses there is a suppressive effect on NK and LAK activity measured in vitro. IL-6 may thus be useful in combination cytokine therapies that seek to suppress LAK and favour cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses. The rise in IgE levels in response to IL-6 was unexpected and suggests a more pivotal role than previously known for the control of IgE production; this could include IgE-related diseases.Supported by a Mildred Scheel Research-Fellowship from the Deutsche Krebshilfe 相似文献

Human tissue kallikrein (hK1) is reduced in hypertension, cardiovascular and renal diseases. There is little information on the participation of hK1 in type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM), type 2 DM, and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), respectively. The aim of this study was to evaluate the roles of insulin and hyperglycemia on urinary hK1 activity in type 1 DM and in GDM. Forty-three type 1 DM patients (5–35 years, disease duration ?5 years, receiving insulin, HbA1c > 7.6%) were selected. Forty-three healthy individuals, paired according to gender and age, were used as controls. Thirty GDM patients (18–42 years, between the 24th and 37th week of pregnancy, recently diagnosed, not under insulin therapy) were also selected. Thirty healthy pregnant (18–42 years, between the 24th and 37th week of pregnancy) and 30 healthy non-pregnant women (18–42 years) were selected as controls. Random midstream urine was used. hK1 amidase activity was estimated with D-Val-Leu-Arg-Nan substrate. Creatinine was determined by Jaffe’s method. hK1 specific amidase activity was expressed as μM/(min mg creatinine) to correct for differences in urine flow rate. hK1 specific amidase activity was significantly higher in the urine of type 1 DM than in controls, and in the urine of GDM patients than in healthy pregnant women and healthy non-pregnant women, respectively. The data suggest that hyperglycemia, rather than insulin, is involved in the mechanism of increased hK1 specific amidase activity in both type 1 DM and GDM patients, respectively. 相似文献

6-Amino-6-deoxychitosans with molecular weights from 0.23 × 104 to 1.41 × 104 and degree of substitution from 0.85 to 0.96 were prepared via N-phthaloylation, tosylation, azidation, hydrazinolysis and reduction of azide groups. Their structures were characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and elemental analysis. The antimicrobial activities of 6-amino-6-deoxychitosans against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Aspergillus niger were investigated. The results showed that 6-amino-6-deoxychitosans had a wide spectrum of effective antimicrobial activities. Compared with chitosan, 6-amino-6-deoxychitosans had much better antimicrobial activities. Their minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were between 0.025% and 0.1% (w/v) in acetic/sodium acetate solution with different pH from 5.4 to 7.5. 6-Amino-6-deoxychitosans could also inhibit growth of bacteria tested in distilled water under pH 6.6-8.45. The antimicrobial mechanism was complex and the positive charge on the amino groups was not the sole factor resulting in the antimicrobial activities. 相似文献

Purified trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was effective over a wide range of substrates, although differing with regard to their relative activity. Polyanions heparin and chondroitin sulfate were seen to stimulate TPS activity, particularly when a pyrimidine glucose nucleotide like UDPG was used, rather than a purine glucose nucleotide like GDPG. A high Vmax and a low Km value of UDPG show its greater affinity with TPS than GDPG or TDPG. Among the glucosyl acceptors TPS showed maximum activity with G-6-P which was followed by M-6-P and F-6-P. Effect of heparin was also extended to the purification of TPS activity, as it helped to retain both stability and activity of the final purified enzyme. Metal co-factors, specifically MnCl2 and ZnCl2 acted as stimulators, while enzyme inhibitors had very little effect on TPS activity. Metal chelators like CDTA, EGTA stimulated enzyme activity by chelation of metal inhibitors. Temperature and pH optima of the purified enzyme were determined to be 40 °C and pH 8.5 respectively. Enzyme activity was stable at 0–40 °C and at alkaline pH. 相似文献

Structural insight into the altered substrate specificity of human cytochrome P450 2A6 mutants 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Human P450 2A6 displays a small active site that is well adapted for the oxidation of small planar substrates. Mutagenesis of CYP2A6 resulted in an increased catalytic efficiency for indole biotransformation to pigments and conferred a capacity to oxidize substituted indoles (Wu, Z.-L., Podust, L.M., Guengerich, F.P. J. Biol. Chem. 49 (2005) 41090-41100.). Here, we describe the structural basis that underlies the altered metabolic profile of three mutant enzymes, P450 2A6 N297Q, L240C/N297Q and N297Q/I300V. The Asn297 substitution abolishes a potential hydrogen bonding interaction with substrates in the active site, and replaces a structural water molecule between the helix B'-C region and helix I while maintaining structural hydrogen bonding interactions. The structures of the P450 2A6 N297Q/L240C and N297Q/I300V mutants provide clues as to how the protein can adapt to fit the larger substituted indoles in the active site, and enable a comparison with other P450 family 2 enzymes for which the residue at the equivalent position was seen to function in isozyme specificity, structural integrity and protein flexibility. 相似文献
