Inhibition of the serine proteases leukocyte elastase, pancreatic elastase, cathepsin G, and chymotrypsin by peptide boronic acids 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Three alpha-aminoboronic acid-containing analogs of good peptide substrates for serine proteases were synthesized, MeO-Suc-Ala-Ala-Pro-boro-Phe-OH, MeO-Suc-Ala-Ala-Pro-boro-Ala-OH, and MeO-Suc-Ala-Ala-Pro-boro-Val-OH. They were effective inhibitors of chymotrypsin, cathepsin G, and both leukocyte and pancreatic elastase at nanomolar concentrations (0.10-20 nM). Except for cathepsin G, inhibition was not simply competitive, but showed kinetic properties corresponding to the mechanism for slow-binding inhibition, i.e. E + I in equilibrium EI in equilibrium EI*, where EI and EI* are enzyme-inhibitor complexes and EI* is more stable than EI. This type of inhibition has not been observed previously for synthetic inhibitors or serine proteases and in this study it was observed only for peptide boronic acids which satisfy the primary specificity requirements of the protease. 相似文献

Several 3-halo-3-(1-haloalkyl)-1(3H)-isobenzofuranones, 3-(1-haloalkylidene)-1(3H)-isobenzofuranones, and 3-bromomethyl-1H-2-benzopyran-1-ones containing masked halo ketone functional groups were synthesized and tested as inhibitors of several serine proteases including human leukocyte (HL) elastase and cathepsin G. While many of the 3-halo-3-(1-haloalkyl)-1(3H)-isobenzofuranones were quite potent inhibitors of the enzymes tested, the alkylideneisobenzofuranones and benzopyran-1-ones inhibited poorly or not at all. The 3-halo-3-(1-haloalkyl)-1(3H)-isobenzofuranones decomposed rapidly upon addition to buffer to give the corresponding 3-alkyl-1H-2-benzopyran-1,4(3H)-diones. The pure benzopyran-1,4-diones were extremely potent inhibitors of HL elastase and chymotrypsin A alpha but did not inactivate porcine pancreatic elastase or cathepsin G. Enzymes inhibited by the isobenzofuranones and benzopyran-1,4-diones regained activity slowly upon standing or after dialysis (t1/2 = 5-16 h) and more rapidly in the presence of 0.5 M hydroxylamine, which indicated the presence of labile acyl moieties in the inhibited enzyme. These results are consistent with a scheme in which the active site serine of the protease reacts with the lactone carbonyl of these inhibitors to give a stable acyl enzyme and alkylation of another active site residue by the unmasked halo ketone functional group does not occur. 相似文献

Identification of a novel class of elastase isozyme, human pancreatic elastase III, by cDNA and genomic gene cloning 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
By using porcine elastase I cDNA as a probe, we have isolated two different but closely related cDNAs encoding elastase-like proteases from a human pancreatic cDNA library. The amino acid sequences deduced from the cloned cDNA sequences showed 56-61% identity with those of both pancreatic elastases I and II, similar to the homology between elastases I and II. The active form of the elastase-like proteases appeared to be composed of 242 amino acids and preceded by a signal peptide and propeptide of 28 amino acids. Dot blot analysis of various tissue mRNAs demonstrated that the genes for the cloned cDNAs are expressed at a high level only in the pancreas. In addition, sequence analysis of the cloned genomic genes corresponding to one of the cDNAs showed that they are members of the elastase gene family. These results indicate that the two enzymes encoded by the cDNAs should be classified into a third class of elastase isozyme. Therefore, we designated them as human pancreatic elastases IIIA and IIIB. They strongly resembled cholesterol-binding pancreatic protease, suggesting that they may possess not only a digestive function but also function(s) related to cholesterol metabolism or transport in the intestine. 相似文献

An elastase from pig aorta has been partially purified and characterised; it exhibits immunological cross reaction with pig pancreatic elastase. Its proteolytic (k-elastin gel and polymeric elastin substrates) and esterolytic (N-succinoyl-trialanine paranitroanilide) activities as well as its degree of inhibition by serum protease inhibitors (alpha1-antitrypsin and alpha2-macro-globulin) differ sensibly from those of pancreatic elastase [14,16]. 相似文献

Three cell-associated elastase precursors with approximate molecular weights of 60,000 (P), 56,000 (Pro I), and 36,000 (Pro II) were identified in Pseudomonas aeruginosa cells by pulse-labeling with [35S]methionine and immunoprecipitation. In the absence of inhibitors, cells of a wild-type strain as well as those of the secretion-defective mutant PAKS 18 accumulated Pro II as the only elastase-related radioactive protein. EDTA but not EGTA [ethylene glycol-bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid] inhibited the formation of Pro II, and this inhibition was accompanied by the accumulation of Pro I. P accumulated in cells labeled in the presence of ethanol (with or without EDTA), dinitrophenol plus EDTA, or carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone plus EDTA. Pro I and Pro II were localized to the periplasm, and as evident from pulse-chase experiments, Pro I was converted to the mature extracellular enzyme with Pro II as an intermediate of the reaction. P was located to the membrane fraction. Pro I but not Pro II was immunoprecipitated by antibodies specific to a protein of about 20,000 molecular weight (P20), which, as we showed before (Kessler and Safrin, J. Bacteriol. 170:1215-1219, 1988), forms a complex with an inactive periplasmic elastase precursor of about 36,000 molecular weight. Our results suggest that the elastase is made by the cells as a preproenzyme (P), containing a signal sequence of about 4,000 molecular weight and a "pro" sequence of about 20,000 molecular weight. Processing and export of the preproenzyme involve the formation of two periplasmic proenzyme species: proelastase I (56 kilodaltons [kDa]) and proelastase II (36 kDa). The former is short-lived, whereas proelastase II accumulates temporarily in the periplasm, most likely as a complex with the 20-kDa propeptide released from proelastase I upon conversion to proelastase II. The final step in elastase secretion seems to required both the proteolytic removal of a small peptide from proelastase II and dissociation of the latter from P20. 相似文献

Elastin was fully solubilized by digestion with elastase I or elastase II. Each digest was separated into high-molecular weight and low-molecular weight fractions that were characterized by the correspondence to their amino acid content, N-terminal sequence and C-terminal amino acids. It was found that although the relative amount of amino acids in the low-molecular weight fraction obtained by digestion with elastase I was lower than in digestion with elastase II, no major difference in the type of bonds cleaved in the low- or high-molecular weight fractions of each digest could be seen. There is, however, a remarkable difference in the type of bond cleaved by the two enzymes. While elastase I cleaves mostly Ala-Ala and also Ala-Gly bonds, elastase II hydrolyzes Leu-Ala, Leu-Gly, Phe-Ala, Phe-Gly and Tyr-Ala, Tyr-Gly bonds. Theoretical calculations led us to suggest both digests are composed of cross-linked peptides that vary not only in the molecular size but also in the number of cross-links found in peptides of the same size. 相似文献

Metal binding and conformational stability characteristics of psychrophilic elastase (ACE) from Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) has been investigated. Chelation to Ca(2+) was found to be important for maintaining the biologically active conformation and for the thermal stability of the enzyme. However, presence of metal ions such as Zn(2+), Fe(3+) and Cu(2+) was found to inhibit its hydrolytic activity and so did the chelating agent EDTA. Both pH and guanidinium chloride induced denaturation of the enzyme was followed by monitoring the changes in the tryptophan fluorescence. ACE exhibited a simple two-state unfolding pattern in both acidic and basic conditions with the midpoint of transition at pH values 4.08 and 10.29, respectively. Guanidinium chloride and heat induced denaturation of the enzyme was investigated at two pH values, 5.50 and 8.00, wherein the enzyme possesses similar tertiary structure but differ in its hydrolytic activity. Guanidinium chloride induced denaturation indicated that the enzyme unfolds with a C(m) of 1.53 M at pH 8.0 and a DeltaG(H2O) of 6.91 kJ mol(-1) (28.65 J mol(-1) residue(-1)) which is the lowest reported for psychrophilic enzymes investigated till-date. However, at pH 5.50, DeltaG(H2O) value is slightly lowered by 0.65 kJ mol(-1) consistent with the observed increase in the apparent quenching constant obtained with acrylamide. On the other hand, increase in T(m) by 38.45 degrees C was observed for the enzyme at acid pH (5.50) in comparison to the heat induced unfolding at pH 8.0. The increase in the apparent T(m) has been attributed to the possible weak intermolecular association of the enzyme molecules at moderately high temperatures that is favoured by the increase in the accessible surface area / dynamics under acidic conditions. The stability characteristics of ACE have been compared with the available data for mesophilic porcine pancreatic elastase and possible mechanism for the low temperature adaptation of ACE has been proposed. 相似文献

SC-39026, (+/-) 2-chloro-4-(1-hydroxyoctadecyl)benzoic acid, inhibits human neutrophil elastase with an IC50 of 0.5 microM (KI of 1.5 microM). Its inhibition of elastase is reversible and noncompetitive at low concentrations (0.5-1.25 microM). Inhibition is "mixed" at higher inhibitor concentrations. SC-39026 is inactive against hog pancreatic elastase, bovine alpha-chymotrypsin and Pseudomonas aeruginosa elastase, but does inhibit human neutrophil cathepsin G with an IC50 of approximately 2.5 microM. Neutrophil elastases isolated from rat, hamster, rabbit and hog are also inhibited by SC-39026. 相似文献

In designing a synthetic scaffold for engineering soft, mechanically active tissues, desirable properties include elasticity, support of cell adhesion and growth, ease of processability, and responsiveness to in vivo remodeling. To achieve these properties, we have developed a family of thermoplastic elastomers, polyurethaneureas (PUs), that possess enzymatic remodeling capabilities in addition to simple hydrolytic lability. PUs were synthesized using either polycaprolactone or triblock copolymer polycaprolactone-b-poly(ethylene glycol)-b-polycaprolactone as the soft segment, 1,4-butanediisocyanate as the hard segment, and the peptide Ala-Ala-Lys as a chain extender. The synthesized PUs had high molecular weights, low glass transition temperatures (< -54 degrees C), and were flexible with breaking strains of 670-890% and tensile strengths of 15-28 MPa. Incubation in buffered saline without elastase for 8 weeks resulted in mass loss from 12% to 18% depending on soft segment composition. The degradation significantly increased (p < 0.05) in the presence of elastase, ranging from 19% to 34% with degradation products showing no cytotoxicity. To encourage cell adhesion, PUs were surface-modified with radio frequency glow discharge followed by coupling of Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (RGDS). Endothelial cell adhesion was >140% of tissue culture polystyrene on PU surfaces and >200% on RGDS-modified surfaces. The synthesized PUs thus combine mechanical, chemical, and bioresponsive properties that might be employed in soft-tissue engineering applications. 相似文献
