西藏高原黄蘑菇的保鲜研究

Glutenase and collagenase activities of wheat cysteine protease Triticain-α: Feasibility for enzymatic therapy assays

Insufficient and/or improper protein degradation is associated with the development of various human pathologies. Enzymatic therapy with proteolytic enzymes aimed to improve insufficient proteolytic activity was suggested as a treatment of protease deficiency-induced disorders. Since in many cases human degradome is incapable of degrading the entire target protein(s), other organisms can be used as a source of proteases exhibiting activities distinct from human enzymes, and plants are perspective candidates for this source. In this study recombinant wheat cysteine protease Triticain-α was shown to refold in vitro into an autocatalytically activated proteolytic enzyme possessing glutenase and collagenase activities at acidic (or close to neutral) pH levels at the temperature of human body. Mass-spectrometry analysis of the products of Triticain-α-catalyzed gluten hydrolysis revealed multiple cleavage sites within the sequences of gliadin toxic peptides, in particular, in the major toxic 33-mer α-gliadin-derived peptide initiating inflammatory responses to gluten in celiac disease (CD) patients. Triticain-α was found to be relatively stable in the conditions simulating stomach environment. We conclude that Triticain-α can be exploited as a basic compound for development of (i) pharmaceuticals for oral administration aimed at release of the active enzyme into the gastric lumen for CD treatment, and (ii) topically active pharmaceuticals for wound debridement applications.

Purification and properties of an aminopeptidase from rat-liver cytosol.

An aminopeptidase was purified from the rat-liver cytosolic fraction to apparent electrophoretic homogeneity. The enzyme is a monomeric protein of 95 kDa, having an isoelectric point of 4.9. Amino acid analyses indicate that the enzyme is rich in acidic amino acids and is poor in cysteine. The enzyme hydrolyzed a broad spectrum of amino acid beta-naphthylamides at a neutral pH. The enzyme also hydrolyzed di-, tri-, and oligopeptides, including physiologically active peptides such as enkephalins and Met-Lys-bradykinin. The enzyme was inhibited by metal-chelating agents, sulfhydryl-reactive reagents, N-P-tosyl-L-phenylalaninechloromethyl ketone, N-P-tosyl-L-lysinechloromethyl ketone, and puromycin but not by protease inhibitors of microbial origin. The enzyme was activated by the addition of Co2+ and sulfhydryl compounds. The aminopeptidase enhanced proteolysis when the enzyme was added to the protease assay system with purified rat-liver cytosolic neutral protease, suggesting the cooperative action of aminopeptidase in the overall process of protein degradation.     

Esterase activity of zinc neutral proteases.

The hydrolysis of a series of depsipeptides demonstrates that the zinc neutral endopeptidases of bacteria are active esterases. Esters such as BzGly-OPhe-Ala, BzGly-OLeu-Ala, and FA-Gly-OLeu-NH2 are hydrolyzed at rates three- to eightfold slower than are their exact peptide analogues, when hydrolyzed by thermolysin, Bacillus subtilis neutral protease and the neutral protease from Aeromonas proteolytica. Ester hydrolysis by zinc neutral proteases follows the characteristic preference for hydrophobic amino acids adjacent to the site of cleavage, discerned from the hydrolysis of peptide substrates. Removal of zinc from thermolysin abolishes the esterase activity of the native enzyme. Among the metals examined, only Co2+ and Zn2+ restore esterase activity to any significant extent, Co2+ restoring 50% and Zn2+ 100% of the native thermolysin activity. The hydrolysis of esters and peptides by thermolysin does not differ with respect to either the binding or catalytic steps. Substrate specificity, pH-rate profiles, inhibitor, and deuterium isotope effects are identical for both types of substrates.     

Protease Ti from Escherichia coli requires ATP hydrolysis for protein breakdown but not for hydrolysis of small peptides

Protease Ti, a new ATP-dependent protease in Escherichia coli, degrades proteins and ATP in a linked process, but these two hydrolytic functions are catalyzed by distinct components of the enzyme. To clarify the enzyme's specificity and the role of ATP, a variety of fluorogenic peptides were tested as possible substrates for protease Ti or its two components. Protease Ti rapidly hydrolyzed N-succinyl(Suc)-Leu-Tyr-amidomethylcoumarin (AMC) (Km = 1.3 mM) which is not degraded by protease La, the other ATP-dependent protease in E. coli. Protease Ti also hydrolyzed, but slowly, Suc-Ala-Ala-Phe-AMC and Suc-Leu-Leu-Val-Tyr-AMC. However, it showed little or no activity against basic or other hydrophobic peptides, including ones degraded rapidly by protease La. Component P, which contains the serine-active site, by itself rapidly degrades the same peptides as the intact enzyme. Addition of component A, which contains the ATP-hydrolyzing site and is necessary for protein degradation, had little or no effect on peptide hydrolysis. N-Ethylmaleimide, which inactivates the ATPase, did not inhibit peptide hydrolysis. In addition, this peptide did not stimulate the ATPase activity of component A (unlike protein substrates). Thus, although the serine-active site on component P is unable to degrade proteins, it is fully functional against small peptides in the absence of ATP. At high concentrations, Suc-Leu-Tyr-AMC caused a complete inhibition of casein breakdown, and diisopropylfluorophosphate blocked similarly the hydrolysis of both protein and peptide substrates. Thus, both substrates seem to be hydrolyzed at the same active site on component P, and ATP hydrolysis by component A either unmasks or enlarges this proteolytic site such that large proteins can gain access to it.     

Protease La, the lon gene product, cleaves specific fluorogenic peptides in an ATP-dependent reaction

Protease La is an ATP-dependent protease that catalyzes the rapid degradation of abnormal proteins and certain normal polypeptides in Escherichia coli. In order to learn more about its specificity and the role of ATP, we tested whether small fluorogenic peptides might serve as substrates. In the presence of ATP and Mg2+, protease La hydrolyzes two oligopeptides that are also substrates for chymotrypsin, glutaryl-Ala-Ala-Phe-methoxynaphthylamine (MNA) and succinyl-Phe-Leu-Phe-MNA. Methylation or removal of the acidic blocking group prevented hydrolysis. Closely related peptides (glutaryl-Gly-Gly-Phe-MNA and glutaryl-Ala-Ala-Ala-MNA) are cleaved only slightly, and substrates of trypsin-like proteases are not hydrolyzed. Furthermore, several peptide chloromethyl ketone derivatives that inhibit chymotrypsin and cathepsin G (especially benzyloxycarbonyl-Gly-Leu-Phe-chloro-methyl ketone), inhibited protease La. Thus its active site prefers peptides containing large hydrophobic residues, and amino acids beyond the cleavage site influence rates of hydrolysis. Peptide hydrolysis resembles protein breakdown by protease La in many respects: 1) ADP inhibits this process rapidly, 2) DNA stimulates it, 3) heparin, diisopropyl fluorophosphate, and benzoyl-Arg-Gly-Phe-Phe-Leu-MNA inhibit hydrolysis, 4) the reaction is maximal at pH 9.0-9.5, 5) the protein purified from lon- E. coli or Salmonella typhymurium showed no activity against the peptide, and that from lonR9 inhibited peptide hydrolysis by the wild-type enzyme. With partially purified enzyme, peptide hydrolysis was completely dependent on ATP. The pure protease hydrolyzed the peptide slowly when only Mg2+, Ca2+, or Mn2+ were present, and ATP enhanced this activity 6-15-fold (Km = 3 microM). Since these peptides cannot undergo phosphorylation, adenylylation, modification of amino groups, or denaturation, these mechanisms cannot account for the stimulation by ATP. Most likely, ATP and Mg2+ affect the conformation of the enzyme, rather than that of the substrate.     

Time-dependent enzyme activity dominated by dissociation of J-aggregates bound to protein surface

J-Aggregates of diprotonated 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-sulfonatopheny)porphyrin (H?TPPS2?) were stabilized even in a neutral aqueous solution (pH 7.0) containing per-O-methylated β-cyclodextrin by binding to the surface of α-chymotrypsin (ChT). The large J-aggregates covered the active site of ChT and completely inhibited the hydrolysis of the peptides. However, enzyme activity was gradually restored with the dissociation of the J-aggregates attached to the protein surface to monomers. After the completion of dissociation of the aggregates, the enzyme activity was almost completely restored, though the structure of ChT significantly changed. Circular dichroism spectroscopy suggested that the microscopic structure at the active site of ChT was scarcely affected by the J-aggregates, but the binding of J-aggregates to ChT increased the content of the random coils in the enzyme. The present study showed a new type of effector for controlling the function of ChT.
