Three yeast proteins that specifically inhibit yeast proteases A, B, and C.

Baker's yeast was found to contain inhibitors of yeast proteases A and C. These two proteins were partially purified, characterized, and compared with the previously described inhibitor of protease B. The A and B inhibitors were very thermostable and were extracted from intact yeast cells at 9k C. The A inhibitor appeared to be a protein with a molecular weight of about 22,000 which could be dissociated into two monomers or chains, both of which had a molecular weight of approximately 11,000. The protease C (carboxypeptidase Y)-inhibitor complex was purified and then partially disociated on an ion-exchange column. The free protease C inhibitor was very unstable, possibly because of destruction by a contaminating protease. Each inhibitor was specific for its corresponding protease and each inhibition was competitive. Whereas proteases A, B, and C destroyed the B inhibitor, only protease B had a pronounced destructive effect on the protease A inhibitor. Pepstatin was found to be a selective inhibitor of protease A, whereas chymostatin and antipain specifically inhibited protease B.     

Studies on phospholipase A inhibitor in blood plasma. II. Interaction of phospholipase A inhibitor with phospholipase A and its specificity

Non-competitive inhibition of snake venom phospholipase A2 which has been exhibited by bovine plasma phospholipase A inhibitor, a kind of lipoprotein, was not observed unless the inhibitor was preincubated with the enzyme. The inhibition seemed to be due to the formation of the enzyme-inhibitor complex, which was identified by immunoelectrophoresis. The enzyme-inhibitor interaction was observed maximally on incubation at physiological pH, but not below pH 5. The inhibitor was inactivated by trypsin digestion and heat treatment. It suppressed the phospholipase A2 activities of rat blood plasma as well as of the snake venom and porcine pancreas, but not the enzyme activities such as those of phospholipase C of Bacillus cereus, lipase of porcine pancreas, trypsin, and papain. The inhibitor also showed the ability to decrease membrane-bound phospholipase A1 and A2 activities in intracellular organelles such as plasma membranes, mitochondria, lysosomes, and microsomes. In view of these facts, it was concluded that the plasma inhibitor is specific for phospholipase A.     

Purification of the Proteinaceous α-Amylase Inhibitor from Phaseolus Vulgaris by Affinity Chromatography with Immobilized Enzyme or Antibody

A protein inhibiting salivary and pancreatic a-amylase of mammalian origin is contained in dry seeds of beans (Phaseolus vulgaris). Starting from a crude bean extract, the amylase inhibitor may be purified about 30fold in one step to apparent homogeneity by chromatography on matrix-bound salivary amylase. Compared with protein obtained by a conventional purification procedure and in similar yield, the amylase inhibitor obtained by affinity chromatography had the same specific activity (4.5 (akat inhibitor units/mg protein). A one step purification from crude extracts to homogenous inhibitor with the same specific activity was achieved by immuno-affinity chromatography on immobilized rabbit antibody raised against pure amylase inhibitor. The yield was 60 % that of a conventional purification. Criteria of purity of the inhibitor protein were thin-layer electrofocussing and immuno-electrophoresis.     

A trypsin and chymotrypsin inhibitor from chick peas (Cicer arietinum).

1. A trypsin and chymotrypsin inhibitor was isolated by extraction of chick-pea meal at pH8.3, followed by (NH4)2SO4 precipitation and successive column chromatography on CM-cellulose and calcium phosphate (hydroxyapatite). 2. The inhibitor was pure by polyacrylamide-gel and cellulose acetate electrophoresis and by isoelectric focusing in polyacrylamide gels. 3. The inhibitor had a molecular weight of approx. 10000 as determined by ultracentrifugation and by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate. A molecular weight of 8300 was resolved from its amino acid composition. 4. The inhibitor formed complexes with trypsin and chymotrypsin at molar ratios of 1:1. 5. Limited proteolysis of the inhibitor with trypsin at pH3.75 resulted in hydrolysis of a single-Lys-X-bond and in consequent loss of 85% of the trypsin inhibitory activity and 60% of the chymotrypsin inhibitory activity. Limited proteolysis of the inhibitor with chymotrypsin at pH3.75 resulted in hydrolysis of a single-Tyr-X-bond and in consequent loss of 70% of the trypsin inhibitory activity and in complete loss of the chymotrypsin inhibitory activity. 6. Cleavage of the inhibitor with CNBr followed by pepsin and consequent separation of the products on a Bio Gel P-10 column, yielded two active fragments, A and B. Fragment A inhibited trypsin but not chymotrypsin, and fragment B inhibited chymotrypsin but not trypsin. The specific trypsin inhibitory activity, on a molar ratio, of fragment A was twice that of the native inhibitor, suggesting the unmasking of another trypsin inhibitory site as a result of the cleavage. On the other hand, the specific chymotrypsin inhibitory activity of fragment B was about one-half of that of the native inhibitor, indicating the occurrence of a possible conformational change.

Purification and properties of a heat-stable protein inhibitor of phosphoprotein phosphatase from rabbit liver.

A heat-stable protein inhibitor of phosphoprotein phosphatase has been purified to homogeneity from rabbit liver extract by heating to 95 degrees followed by ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and gel filtration on Sephadex G-200. The purified inhibitor showed a single band when examined by gel electrophoresis S20, w and Stokes radius values were 1.45 and 25.5, respectively. Using these two values, the molecular weight and frictional ratio was calculated to be 15,500 and 3.40, respectively. The molecular weight determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis was found to be 14,200. The inhibition of phosphoprotein phosphatase was linear up to 40% inhibition with respect to inhibitor was constant with time of incubation for at least 30 min. The optimum pH for the inhibition was between 6.8 and 7.6. A kinetic analysis of the effect of the inhibitor on the dephosphorylation of [32P]phosphorylase a by rabbit liver phosphoprotein phosphatase indicated a noncompetitive inhibition with respect to phosphorylase a. Purified liver inhibitor inhibited the phosphoprotein phosphatase activity in all rat tissues examined. Utilizing purified rabbit liver phosphoprotein phosphatase, the presence of inhibitor activity was also demonstrated in all rat tissues tested.     

Purification and characterization of a protein inhibitor from rat liver that inhibits type 1 protein phosphatase when 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase is the substrate

A protein inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase phosphatase activity from rat liver was purified to homogeneity. The protein was purified 4,000-fold with an overall yield of 4%. The purified protein had a molecular mass of 31 kDa. This spontaneously active protein is thermostable and acid-resistant. The protein inhibitor is phosphorylated by glycogen synthase kinase-3 and cAMP-dependent protein kinase without change in its inhibitory activity. The inhibition caused by this inhibitor on phosphatases 1 and 2A is similar to that of inhibitor-2 from rabbit skeletal muscle using hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase as substrate. The regulation properties of this inhibitor towards phosphatase 1 together with another protein inhibitor of phosphatase 2A in cholesterol metabolism are discussed.     

Isolation and partial characterization of the trypsin inhibitor from the seeds of Brassica oleracea var. sabellica

A trypsin inhibitor was extracted from the kale seeds with 0.01 M-HCl, precipitated with ammonium sulphate, and purified by affinity chromatography on immobilized trypsin and ion-exchange chromatography on QAE-Sephadex A-25. The inhibitor, of Mr 8 000, is composed of 64 amino acid residues and contains neither threonine nor methionine. Its isoelectric point is 8.9. In addition to trypsin, the inhibitor acts on subtilopeptidase A and shows a very weak antichymotrypsin activity. The factors modifying the arginine residues inactivate the inhibitor. A modified form of the inhibitor (with a broken reactive site peptide bond) has been isolated in pure form, and its properties were compared with those of the virgin form.     

Kunitz-type proteinase inhibitors derived by limited proteolysis of the inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor. VI. Detection of a complex between immunoglobulin g and the inhibitory active part of the inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor

A latent trypsin inhibitor is released from denatured human serum proteins by proteolytic digestion with thermolysin. The latent inhibitor was enriched by chromatography on DEAE-Sephacel, Sephadex G-200, and Protein A-Sepharose, respectively. Immunological cross-section identified the latent inhibitor as a complex between IgG and the inhibitory active part of the inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor.     

alpha-Amylase inhibitor from fungus Cladosporium herbarum F-828

A strain of fungus Cladosporium herbarum extracellularly produced an inhibitor specific for mammalian alpha-amylase. The inhibitor was purified 81-fold by freeze-thawing, heat treatment, and column chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, Sephadex G-75, DEAE-Sephacel, and Bio-Gel P-100. An apparent molecular weight of approximately 18,000 was estimated for the inhibitor using Bio-Gel P-100 filtration. The purified inhibitor preparation was a glycoprotein containing about 10% carbohydrate. The amino acid analysis of the inhibitor showed abundances of Gly, Asp, Glu, Ser, Ala, and Thr residues. The inhibitor was stable between pH 5 and 12 at 4 degrees C, and below 80 degrees C at pH 7.0. A binary complex formation out of equimolar amounts of the inhibitor and alpha-amylase, was demonstrated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and Bio-Gel P-100 chromatography. Kinetic studies exhibited that the inhibitor noncompetitively inhibited the enzyme reaction with a Ki value of 2.3 approximately 4.8 x 10(-10) M, by combining with the enzyme molecule at a different site from the substrate binding site.
