The synthesis of the C-terminal nonapeptide of bovine insulin B-chain is described. 4-(Bromomethyl)-3-nitrobenzoylglycyl-poly(ethylene glycol) Mr = 15,000) was used as soluble support. The C-terminal alanine was first converted to Boc-Ala-O-(2-nitro-4-carboxy) benzyl ester which was then coupled to Gly-PEG via DCC activation. The synthesis was performed using the in situ symmetrical anhydride coupling method. Cleavage of the protected peptide from the polymeric support was achieved by photolysis. The product was then chromatographed on a column of Sephadex LH-20. All the protecting groups of a sample were removed with liquid HF and the unprotected crude peptide was purified by ion-exchange chromatography on CM-Sephadex to obtain an electrophoretically and chromatographically pure peptide. The identity of this peptide was confirmed by field desorption mass spectrometry and amino acid analysis. Circular dichroism measurement suggests that the free nonapeptide possesses a disordered conformation. The nonapeptide was tested for the racemization of the individual amino acids by gas chromatography and the results showed that no residue was significantly racemized. 相似文献

Synthesis is described of the partially protected octapeptide tert-butyloxycarbonyl-gamma-tert-butylglutamylasparaginyl-N-trifluoroacetyllysyl-N-trifluoracetyllysylarginyl-Ngamma-4,4'-dimethoxybenzhydryglutaminylthreonylproline corresponding to positions 36-43 of the amino acid sequence of porcine pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor II. The tetrapeptide free base arginyl-Ngamma-4,4'-dimethoxybenzhydrylglutaminylthreonylproline was acylated, by the azide proceedure, with the tripeptide benzyloxycarbonyl-asparaginyl-N-trifluoroacetyllsyl-N-trifluoroacetyllysine hydrazide. The resulting protected heptapeptide was partially deblocked by catalytic hydrogenation and reacted with alpha-1-succinimidyl-gamma-tert-butyl tert-butyloxycarbonylglutamate. The stereochemical homogeneity of the ensuing octapeptide was assessed, after partial deprotection with aqueous 90% trifluoroacetic acid, by digestion with papain and aminopeptidase M followed by quantitative amino acid analysis. 相似文献

The synthesis of the amino-protected decapeptide tert-butyloxycarbonylhydrazide corresponding to positions 15-24 of the amino acid sequence of porcine pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor II (Kazal inhibitor) is described. The tripeptide free base threonyl-beta-tert-butylaspartylglycine tert-butyloxycarbonylhydrazide (sequence 22-24) was acylated with 1-succinimidyl o-nitrophenylsulfenylvalyl-S-acetamidomethylcysteinylglycinate (sequence 19-21). Removal of the amino protecting group from the resulting hexapeptide followed by acylation of the free base with either benzyloxycarbonylisoleucyl-O-tert-butyltyrosylasparaginylproline or O-nitrophenylsulfenylisoleucyl-O-tert-butyltyrosylasparaginylproline, via the pyrazoline active ester method, yielded the decapeptide tert-butyloxycarbonylhydrazide (sequence 15-24) in the form of Nalpha-benzyloxycarbonyl or Nalpha-O-nitrophenylsulfenyl derivative. The stereochemical homogeneity of the two decapeptides was assessed, after partial deprotection with liquid hydrogen fluoride, or thioacetamide and aqueous 90% trifluoroacetic acid, by digestion with papain and aminopeptidase M followed by quantitative amino acid analysis. 相似文献

Thymocyte growth peptide (TGP) initiates DNA synthesis in immature thymocytes and has previously been characterized as an acidic peptide isolated from calf thymus. We now report the isolation of TGP from sheep thymus and show it to be a nonapeptide with a large N-terminal blocking moiety characterized by high UV absorbance. The amino acid composition is identical to FTS, consisting of 2 Gly, 2 Ser, 2 Glx, 1 Ala, 1 Lys, 1 Asx. In contrast to FTS, TGP is acidic with an apparent isoelectric point of 4.2 and a high UV absorbance at 270–280 nm. Reverse phase chromatography of TGP at an acidic pH results in a change of the molecule and the appearance of two new compounds TGP-A and TGP-B, both with less than 50% of the original TGP activity. Full activity could be restored by the addition of ZnCl2 to TGP-A. Both TGP-A and B have some amino acid composition and high UV absorbance as native TGP. We propose that TGP consists of a non-peptide moiety bound to the N-terminal of the nonapeptide Glu-Ala-Lys-Ser-Gln-Gly-Gly-Ser-Asn and that the active molecule is stabilized by Zn2+. 相似文献

Synthesis is described of the protected undecapeptide tert-butyloxycarbonylisoleucyl-threonyltyrosylserylasparaginyl-gamma-tert-butylglutamyl-S-acetamidomethylcysteinyl-valylleucyl-S-acetamidomethylcysteinylseriny hydrazide corresponding to positions 25-35 of the amino acid sequence of porcine pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor II (Kazal). The hepatapeptide free base methyl asparaginyl-gamma-tert-butylglutamyl-S-acetamidomethylcysteinylvalylleucyl-S-acetamidomethylcysteinylserinate (sequency 29-35) was acylated, by the azide procedure, with the tetrapeptide tert-butyloxycarbonl-isoleucylthreonyltyrosylserine hydrazide /sequence 25-28) and the resulting tert-butyloxycarbonylundecapeptide methyl ester was transformed into the corresponding hydrazide by hydrazinolysis. The stereochemical homogeneity of the final product was assessed, after partial deprotection with aqueous 90% trifuoroacetic acid, by digestion with papain and aminopeptidase M followed by quantitative amino acid analysis. 相似文献

Neutrophil chemotactic activity was found in the autodigest of calcium dependent cysteine proteinase (calpain) I purified from human erythrocytes, an active peptide was isolated, and its structure was determined. It was an N-acetyl nonapeptide with the sequence: N-acetyl Ser-Glu-Glu-Ile-Ile-Thr-Pro-Val-Tyr. This peptide was identical with the N-terminal amino acid sequence of the large subunit of calpain I deduced from cDNA sequence, except that the peptide was lacking a methionine residue and was acetylated at the N-terminus. A number of N-acetyl peptides with N-terminal amino acid sequences of large and small subunits of calpains I and II were synthesized and their chemotactic activity was estimated. In addition to the N-acetyl nonapeptide from calpain I large subunit, several peptides of different lengths from the small subunit showed dose-dependent migrations of neutrophils. They include N-acetyl tetra, hepta, octa, nona and larger size peptides. Further, it was also revealed that when calpain was incubated with high molecular weight (HMW) or low molecular weight (LMW) kininogen, kinin liberation occurred with simultaneous inhibition of calpains by kininogens. These data suggest that chemical mediators generated from the calpain-kininogen system may participate in migration and accumulation of neutrophils to the inflammatory locus. 相似文献

A circulating thymic factor (FTS) has been characterized by a bioassay based on its ability to render theta-negative rosette-forming cells theta-positive and azathioprine-sensitive. FTS was sequentially purified and finally isolated from 1000 liters of pig serum by ultrafiltration, gel filtration, and ion exchange chromatography. Its amino acid composition and apparent molecular weight estimated by Sephadex G-25 chromatography, indicate that FTS is a nonapeptide of composition lysine, aspartic acid (or asparagine), serine 2, glutamic acid (or glutamine) 2, glycine 2, and alanine. 相似文献

Analogs of FTS (Facteur Thymique Sérique), less than :formula: (see text), a circulating thymic factor, were prepared by replacing the amino acid residues in positions 1, 2, 8 and 9, or by shortening the nonapeptide chain at the N- or C-terminal end. These peptides were synthesized by two different schemes using the conventional synthesis in solution. 相似文献

We have recently shown that amino acid region 307-348 of factor Va heavy chain (42 amino acids, N42R) is critical for cofactor activity and may contain a binding site for factor Xa and/or prothrombin [(2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276, 18614-18623]. To ascertain the importance of this region for factor Va cofactor activity, we have synthesized eight overlapping peptides (10 amino acid each) spanning amino acid region 307-351 of the heavy chain of factor Va and tested them for inhibition of prothrombinase activity. The peptides were also tested for the inhibition of the binding of factor Va to membrane-bound active site fluorescent labeled Glu-Gly-Arg human factor Xa ([OG488]-EGR-hXa). Factor Va binds specifically to membrane-bound [OG488]-EGR-hXa (10nM) with half-maximum saturation reached at approximately 6 nM. N42R was also found to interact with [OG488]-EGR-hXa with half-maximal saturation observed at approximately 230 nM peptide. N42R was found to inhibit prothrombinase activity with an IC50 of approximately 250 nM. A nonapeptide containing amino acid region 323-331 of factor Va (AP4') was found to be a potent inhibitor of prothrombinase. Kinetic analyses revealed that AP4' is a noncompetitive inhibitor of prothrombinase with respect to prothrombin, with a K(i) of 5.7 microM. Thus, the peptide interferes with the factor Va-factor Xa interaction. Displacement experiments revealed that the nonapeptide inhibits the direct interaction of factor Va with [OG488]-EGR-hXa (IC50 approximately 7.5 microM). The nonapeptide was also found to bind directly to [OG488]-EGR-hXa and to increase the catalytic efficiency of factor Xa toward prothrombin in the absence of factor Va. In contrast, a peptadecapeptide from N42R encompassing amino acid region 337-351 of factor Va (P15H) had no effect on either prothrombinase activity or the ability of the cofactor to interact with [OG488]-EGR-hXa. Our data demonstrate that amino acid sequence 323-331 of factor Va heavy chain contains a binding site for factor Xa. 相似文献

A trypsin inhibitor was isolated from pregnant mares' urine by adsorption on bentonite and elution with aqueous pyridine followed by batch DEAE-cellulose treatment and column chromatography. Final purification to an electrophoretically homogenous glycoprotein was achieved by gel permeation chromatography. This equine urinary trypsin inhibitor (E-UTI) is acid- and heat-stable, has a molecular weight of 22 to 23 kDa, an isoelectric point of 4.55, forms a 1:1 molar complex with trypsin and has serine as its N-terminal amino acid. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of this protein is almost identical with that of EI-14, the inhibitor obtained from horse serum by tryptic treatment, except for two extra amino acid residues, Ser-Lys- on the N-terminal end of E-UTI. In its isoelectric point E-UTI differs from EI-14 and the inhibitor from human urine. 相似文献

The synthesis by fragment condensation of protected peptides corresponding to the amino acid sequences 15-35, 25-52 and 15-52 of porcine pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor II (Kazal type) is described. The Rudinger modification of the azide procedure was used in the fragment coupling steps. The tert-butyloxycarbonylheptapeptide hydrazide (sequence 22-28) was reacted with the heptapeptide methyl ester free base (sequence 29-35) and the resulting tert-butyloxycarbonyltetradecapeptide methyl ester after selective deprotection, coupled with the benzyloxycarbonylheptapeptide hydrazide (sequence 15-21) to give the protected peptide methyl ester corresponding to the 15-35 sequence which was then converted to the corresponding hydrazide. The synthesis of the 25-52 sequence was achieved by assembling the protected peptide hydrazide corresponding to the amino acid residues 25-35, with the C-terminal heptadecapeptide 36-52. The resulting protected octaeicosapeptide (sequence 25-52) was selectively deblocked with trifluoroacetic acid and acylated with the benzyloxycarbonyldecapeptide hydrazide 15-24 to give the desired octatriacontapeptide corresponding to sequence 15-52 of the inhibitor. An attempt to prepare the 15-52 sequence through the condensation of fragments corresponding to 15-35 and 36-52 sequences was unsuccessful. The identity and purity of the synthetized peptide derivatives wre established by elemental analysis (in some cases), amino acid analysis, optical rotation, and thin-layer chromatography in two solvent systems. The final products were also evaluated, after partial deprotection with anhydrous hydrogen fluoride or aqueous 90% trifluoroacetic acid, by paper electrophoresis at different pH values. 相似文献

Synthesis is described of the protected tetrapeptide corresponding to positions 11-14 of the primary structure of the porcine pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor II (Kazal), in the form of free acid as well as protected hydrazide. The tetrapeptide tert-butyloxycarbonylglycyl-S-acetamidomethylcysteinylprolyl-Nepsilon-trifluoroacetyl-lysine was prepared by stepwise elongation from the C-terminal Nepsilon-trifluoroacetyllysine using successively 1-succinimidyl benzyloxycarbonylprolinate, p-nitrophenyl N-tert-butyloxycarbonyl-S-acetamidomethylcysteinate and 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-(tert-butyloxycarbonylglycyl)-oximinyl-5-(benzyloxycarbonylglycyl)-imino-2-pyrazoline as acylating agents. Alternately, the dipeptide benzyloxycarbonylprolyl-Nepsilon-trifluoroacetyllsine was transformed into the corresponding tert-butyloxycarbonylhydrazide which was reacted, after catalytic hydrogenolysis, with tritylglycyl-S-acetamido-methylcysteine to give the tetrapeptide tritylglycyl-S-acetamidomethylcysteinylprolyl-Nepsilon-trifluoroacetyllsine tert-butyloxycarbonylhydrazide. The stereochemical homogeneity of the final products was assessed, after partial deprotection with aqueous 90% trifluoroacetic acid, by digestion with papain and aminopeptidase M, followed by quantitative amino acid analysis. 相似文献

The Bowman-Birk protease inhibitor has been reported to exert photo- and radioprotective activity. This effect was assigned to a cyclic nonapeptide sequence which is known to contain the amino acids responsible for the anti-chymotryptic activity of the BBI. The present study indicated that linearization of the nonapeptide resulted in a significant loss of anti-proteolytic activity, whereas the photo- and radioprotective capacity persisted. Substitution of the amino acids Leu or Ser of the nonapeptide, essential for the anti-proteolytic activity, with different amino acids, indicated that rather the hydrophobic features of the amino acids in this position than charge are critical to retain the photo- and radioprotective effect. These results suggest the existence of a bifunctional peptide sequence with anti-proteolytic and photo-/radioprotective capacity. However, the lack of correlation between the photo-/radioprotective activity and the anti-proteolytic activity within the peptides generated by modification of the linear nonapeptide argues for the existence of two closely colocalized domains within the nonapeptide responsible for photo-/radioprotection and protease inhibition. 相似文献

The nonapeptide DTDSEEEIR, corresponding to amino acid residues 78-86 of calmodulin, was synthesized, and its kinetics of phosphorylation by casein kinase 2 was examined. In the presence of 4 microM polylysine, the phosphorylation rate by casein kinase 2 was 16 times greater than that of synthetic substrate peptide RRREEETEEE reported previously, and almost 1 mol of 32p was incorporated per mol of nonapeptide in 60 min at 37 degrees C. The peptide was not phosphorylated by any other protein kinase. The Thr residue was phosphorylated by casein kinase 2, but Ser was not. The Km value of casein kinase 2 for the nonapeptide was 60 microM, comparable to that of casein, and Vmax for the nonapeptide was 4 times greater than that for casein. Addition of polylysine did not affect the Km value but markedly increased Vmax. 相似文献

p-Chloromercuribenzoate-treated hemoglobin was digested by trypsin. The hydrolysate was subjected to gel-filtration on Bio-Gel P-4 and Sephadex G-50 columns, ion-exchange chromatography on CM-Sephadex and DE 52 columns, and paper electrophoresis. Peptides obtained by this procedure were analyzed for amino acid compositions and amino-terminal amino acid sequences. The results showed that p-chloromercuribenzoate-treated hemoglobin was hydrolyzed to a limited extent by trypsin at the bonds involving the carboxyl group of a lysine or arginine residue in planes A--E in the parent hemoglobin, which represent the external region of the parent tetramer. It is concluded therefore that the slight modification of hemoglobin enhances the susceptibility of the protein to proteases and that the hydrolysis of the modified protein is limited. 相似文献

The constitution and properties of phosphorylated and unphosphorylated C-terminal fragments of progastrin from dog and ferret antrum 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Antibodies to the extreme C-terminal tryptic (nona-) peptide fragment of porcine progastrin have been used in radioimmunoassay to identify progastrin fragments in dog, ferret and pig antral mucosa extracts and to monitor their purification. In addition to previously characterised phosphorylated and unphosphorylated C-terminal tryptic peptides of porcine progastrin a minor form corresponding to the C-terminal octapeptide (i.e. des-Ser C-terminal nonapeptide) was isolated and characterised. The latter form together with phosphorylated and unphosphorylated forms of the nonapeptides were also isolated and chemically characterised from dog antrum, and the unphosphorylated nonapeptide was characterised from ferret antrum. The primary amino acid sequences of the dog, ferret and pig nonapeptides were identical. In ferret the unphosphorylated nonapeptide predominated, and in dog the phosphorylated form predominated; in pig both forms of the nonapeptide were well represented. Intact progastrin was identified in gel filtration eluates of extracts of all 3 species, but occurred only in relatively low concentrations. The nonapeptides did not stimulate acid secretion in the conscious gastric fistula rat and they did not modify the acid response to G17. Phosphorylation of progastrin-derived peptides is evidently well conserved across a range of species even though there appear to be differences in the relative proportions of phosphorylated and unphosphorylated forms. 相似文献

The synthesis of the protected duopentacontapeptide corresponding to the entire amino acid sequence I-52 of porcine pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor II (Kazal type) is described. The benzyloxycarbonyltetradecapeptide tert-butyloxycarbonylhydrazide (sequence 1-14) was selectively deblocked with trifluoroacetic acid and used to acylate, by the azide procedure, the peptide free base corresponding to the sequence 15-52. The isolated material was purified by ion exchange chromatography and the protecting groups were removed by successive treatments with anhydrous hydrogen fluoride, 1 M piperidine and mercuric acetate. F02M phosphate buffer, pH8. Determination of the inhibitory capacity indicated that the synthetic material is about 50% effective, at 30:1 inhibitor:trypsin molar ratio in inhibiting the tryptic hydrolysis of Nalpha-benzoyl-DL-arginine-4-nitroanilide. Full inhibition was achieved at a higher inhibitor:trypsin molar ratio. The stability constants and the standard free energy of binding of the complex between trypsin and the synthetic inhibitor have been determined. 相似文献

The reactive site peptide bond of the eggplant inhibitor against trypsin [EC 3.4.21.4] was identified by chemical modifications with 1,2-cyclohexanedione, 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid, acetic anhydride and glyoxal, and by sequential treatments with trypsin and carboxypeptidase B [EC 3.4.12.3]. The inhibitor was significantly inactivated by chemical modifications of arginine residues, but was not affected by lysine modifications. Free arginine was released from the trypsin-modified inhibitor by carboxypeptidase B digestion, accompanied by a marked loss of inhibitory activity. A serine residue was newly exposed at the N-terminal amino acid of the inhibitor after modification with trypsin. The reactive site of the inhibitor against trypsin was concluded to be an arginylseryl bond. The inhibitor was completely inactivated by full reduction of its disulfide bonds. 相似文献

A novel nonapeptide with neurotensin-like immunoreactivity was isolated from pepsin-treated human plasma by dialysis, ion-exchange chromatography and high performance reversed-phase liquid chromatography. The amino acid sequence was determined by automated gas-phase sequence analysis as Ile-Ala-Arg-Arg-His-Pro-Tyr-Phe-Leu. Sequence homology with human serum albumin and with the biologically active peptides neurotensin and angiotensin is demonstrated. The name proposed for this peptide is kinetensin. 相似文献

Calcium dependent cysteine proteinase is a precursor of a chemotactic factor for neutrophils 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A new chemotactic factor for neutrophils is generated from calcium dependent cysteine proteinase (calpain) I by autodigestion. An active peptide was isolated from the autodigest and its structure was determined to be an acetylated nonapeptide with the sequence: N-acetyl Ser-Glu-Glu-Ile-Ile-Thr-Pro-Val-Tyr. Compared with the entire sequence of human calpain I, the peptide was identical with the N-terminal amino acid sequence of the large subunit deduced from the cDNA sequence, except that the peptide was devoid of a methionine residue and acetylated at the N-terminus. The acetyl nonapeptide was synthesized and its chemotactic activity was reconfirmed. The biological significance and possible role of this calpain derived chemotactic factor in inflammation are discussed. 相似文献
