Rous sarcoma virus-transformed cultures of chicken embryo fibroblasts (RSVCEF) secrete elevated levels of a 70 kDa progelatinase, an avian form of the 72 kDa matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2). Affinity-purified preparations of secreted 70 kDa progelatinase are composed of two distinct populations of zymogen: a 70 kDa progelatinase tightly complexed with an avian form of TIMP-2 and a native 70 kDa progelatinase free of any detectable TIMP-2. These two forms of the progelatinase can be separated by Mono Q FPLC in the absence of denaturing agents. The homogeneity of the two separated forms is demonstrated by both SDS-PAGE and nondenaturing, native gel electrophoresis. The purified TIMP-free 70 kDa progelatinase is stable in aqueous conditions and does not spontaneously autoactivate. Treatment of the TIMP-free progelatinase with the organomercurial, p-aminophenylmercuric acetate (APMA), results in rapid (5-60 minutes) autolytic conversion of the 70 kDa progelatinase to 67 kDa, 62 kDa and lower molecular weight forms of the enzyme. APMA treatment of the TIMP-free progelatinase yields a preparation that is enzymatically active with a high specific activity towards a peptide substrate. Identical treatment of TIMP-complexed progelatinase with APMA results in a significantly slower conversion process in which the 70 kDa progelatinase is only 50% converted after 6-24 hours and the specific enzyme activity of the preparation is 8 to 18-fold lower. Purified avian TIMP-2 added to the TIMP-free progelatinase forms a complex with the progelatinase and prevents the rapid autolytic conversion induced by APMA. Comparative analysis of parallel cultures of transformed RSVCEF and normal CEF demonstrates that the transformed cultures contain threefold higher levels of the TIMP-free progelatinase than the normal CEF cultures which produce predominantly TIMP-complexed progelatinase. The presence in transformed cultures of elevated levels of a more readily activated TIMP-free progelatinase, the suppression of its rapid activation by TIMP-2, and the potential effect of the altered balance between TIMP-free and TIMP-complexed 70 kDa progelatinase on the invasive, malignant phenotype, are discussed. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

We have identified a binding site for tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases 2 (TIMP-2) on human 72-kDa gelatinase that is distinct from the active site. 72-kDa progelatinase is found in a complex with TIMP-2 in the medium of cultured cells and can be activated with organomercurial compounds to yield a gelatinolytic proteinase that remains bound to TIMP-2. Removal of TIMP-2 from 72-kDa progelatinase by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography, followed by reconstitution of the progelatinase in neutral pH buffer, results in autocatalytic activation. When samples of autoactivated gelatinase were blotted onto nitrocellulose, then probed with 125I-TIMP-2, we found a 29-kDa peptide that was capable of binding TIMP-2. We isolated this fragment and identified it as the region of gelatinase from amino acid 414 to the carboxyl terminus in the primary amino acid sequence of progelatinase. This portion of the molecule does not contain the putative zinc- or gelatin-binding sites and is proteolytically inactive. Incubation of 125I-TIMP-2 with 72-kDa progelatinase-TIMP-2 complexes resulted in a concentration-dependent exchange of labeled TIMP-2 with unlabeled TIMP-2, in both the presence and absence of the metalloproteinase inhibitor 1,10-phenanthroline. Saturation binding kinetics for the active site of 72-kDa gelatinase were measured in pools of the 43-kDa active fragment that results from the autoactivation of 72-kDa progelatinase; this fragment has no carboxyl-terminal TIMP-2 binding capability. Binding of 125I-TIMP-2 to the active site was completely inhibited by 1,10-phenanthroline. Binding kinetics for the putative stabilization site were determined with isolated 72-kDa progelatinase. In the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline, 72-kDa progelatinase bound 125I-TIMP-2 but not 125I-TIMP-1. Scatchard analysis yielded an approximate dissociation constant (Kd) of 0.72 nM for the active site and 0.42 nM for the stabilization site. 相似文献

Interaction of plasma membrane with the cytoskeleton involves a large number of proteins, among them a 36 kDa protein that was found to be involved in the interaction with actin filaments. We have isolated a 36 kDa protein from bovine aorta as a monomer and in a complex with a 10 kDa protein. Partial amino acid sequence determinations show that the 36 kDa and 10 kDa proteins isolated from bovine aorta are analogous to or identical with corresponding proteins purified from bovine intestine already described by Kristensen, Saris, Hunter, Hicks, Noonan, Glenney & Tack [(1986) Biochemistry 25, 4497-4503]. We report here that the association of the 10 kDa protein with the 36 kDa protein confers specific calmodulin-binding and actin-severing properties on the complex that are not possessed by the 36 kDa monomer alone. These findings suggest that the protein complex could be involved in thin-filament-related structures or could modulate some Ca2+-regulated events mediated by calmodulin. 相似文献

The 9 kDa phosphoprotein of pea thylakoids was isolated by electroelution from SDS-polyacrylamide gels and its amino acid composition determined. The result is at variance with the amino acid compositions predicted from published nucleotide sequences of the genes for apocytochrome b-559 and for CFo subunit III. The amino acid composition of the 9 kDa phosphoprotein resembles that of the 25 kDa light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b protein (LHC-II). We propose that the 9 kDa polypeptide is a chlorophyll-binding protein of photosystem II, that it functions as a link in excitation energy transfer between LHC-II and the reaction centre, and that its phosphorylation regulates excitation energy distribution by means of mutual electrostatic repulsion between itself and phosphorylated LHC-II. 相似文献

The activation of progelatinase A to gelatinase A requires cleavage of an asparaginyl bond to form the N-terminus of the mature enzyme. We have asked whether the activation can be mediated by legumain, the recently discovered lysosomal cysteine proteinase that is specific for hydrolysis of asparaginyl bonds. Addition of purified legumain to the concentrated conditioned medium from HT1080 cell culture that contained both progelatinases A and B caused the conversion of the 72 kDa progelatinase A to the 62 kDa form. The progelatinase B in the medium was unaffected. Incubation of recombinant progelatinase A with legumain resulted in an almost instantaneous activation as judged by the fluorometric assay with a specific gelatinase A substrate, Mca-Pro-Leu-Gly-Leu-Dpa-Ala-Arg-NH2. Legumain also activated progelatinase A when it was in complex with TIMP-2. Zymographic analysis and N-terminal sequencing revealed that legumain cleaved the 72 kDa progelatinase A at the bonds between Asn109-Tyr110 or Asn111-Phe112 to produce the 62 kDa mature enzyme, and that further cleavage at Asn430 also occurred to generate a 36 kDa active form. More 62 kDa gelatinase A was detected in cultures of C13 cells that over-expressed legumain than in those of the control HEK293 cells. We conclude that legumain is clearly capable of processing progelatinase A to the active enzyme in vitro and in cultured cells. 相似文献

Membranes prepared from calf brain were solubilized and chromatographed on a column containing 5'-amino-5'-deoxyadenosine covalently linked to agarose through the 5'-amino group. When the column was eluted with adenosine, a pure protein emerged with subunit molecular mass of 28 kDa. The protein was extracted from the membranes with sodium cholate, but not with 100 microM-adenosine or 0.5 M-NaCl. A similar 28 kDa protein was isolated from the soluble fraction of calf brain. The yield of membrane-bound and soluble 28 kDa protein per gram of tissue was about the same. The 28 kDa protein was also found in membrane and soluble fractions of rabbit heart, rat liver and vascular smooth muscle from calf aorta. The yield per gram of tissue fell into the order brain greater than heart approximately vascular smooth muscle greater than liver for the 28 kDa protein from the membrane fraction, and brain approximately heart greater than vascular smooth muscle greater than liver for the 28 kDa protein from the soluble fraction. Polyclonal antibodies to pure 28 kDa protein from calf brain membranes cross-reacted with the 28 kDa protein from calf brain soluble fraction and with 28 kDa proteins isolated from other tissues. The 28 kDa protein from calf brain membranes was also eluted from the affinity column by AMP and 2',5'-dideoxyadenosine, but at a concentration higher than that at which adenosine eluted the protein, but N6-(R-phenylisopropyl)adenosine, 5'-N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine, ADP, ATP, GTP, NAD+, cyclic AMP and inosine failed to elute the protein at concentrations up to 1 mM. The 28 kDa protein from the soluble fraction was not eluted by 3 mM-AMP or 1 mM-N6-(R-phenylisopropyl)adenosine,-5'-N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine or -cyclic AMP. Unexpectedly, the soluble 28 kDa protein was eluted by AMP in the presence of sodium cholate. Soluble 28 kDa protein from calf brain had a KD for adenosine of 12 microM. Membrane 28 kDa protein from calf brain had a KD of 14 microM in the presence of 0.1% sodium cholate. Amino acid compositions of the 28 kDa proteins were similar, but not identical. 相似文献

A 23 kDa protein has recently been demonstrated to participate in photosynthetic oxygen evolution by reconstitution experiments on inside-out thylakoid vesicles (Åkerlund H-E, Jansson C and Andersson B (1982) Biochim Biophys Acta 681:1–10). Here we describe the isolation of the 23 kDa protein from a spinach chloroplast extract using ion-exchange chromatography. The protein was obtained in a yield of 25% and with less than 1% of contaminating proteins. The ability of the protein to stimulate oxygen evolution in inside-out thylakoids was preserved throughout the various fractionation steps. The isolated protein was highly water soluble and appeared as a monomer. Its isoelectric point was at pH=7.3. The amino acid composition showed a high content of polar amino acids, resulting in a polarity index of 49%. The isolated protein lacked metals and other prosthetic groups. Its function as a catalytic or regulating subunit in the oxygen evolving complex is discussed.Abbreviations kDa

Recently, the nearly complete peptide sequence of a 25 kDa rapamycin and FK-506 binding protein that had been isolated from calf thymus, brain, and spleen was reported (1). Based upon the amino acid sequence of this bovine protein, bFKBP25, we have isolated from a JURKAT cDNA library the cDNA encoding the human homolog, hFKBP25. Translation of the open reading frame contained within this cDNA clone yields a sequence that, in its C-terminal half, is 41% identical to the major human FK-506 binding protein, hFKBP12, and 43% identical to hFKBP13. The N-terminal half of hFKBP25 is unrelated to any known protein. 相似文献

The molecular mechanism of Ca(2+) release by myotoxin a (MTYX), a polypeptide toxin isolated from the venom of prairie rattlesnakes (Crotalus viridis viridis), was investigated in the heavy fraction of sarcoplasmic reticulum (HSR) of rabbit skeletal muscles. [(125)I]MYTX bound to four HSR proteins (106, 74, 53 and 30 kDa) on polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane. DIDS, 4, 4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid, bound predominantly to 30 kDa protein on the PVDF membrane, the molecular weight of which was similar to one of the MYTX binding proteins. The maximum (45)Ca(2+) release induced by caffeine (30 mM) was further increased in the presence of MYTX (10 microM) or DIDS (30 microM), whereas that induced by DIDS (30 microM) was not affected by MYTX (10 microM). MYTX inhibited [(3)H]DIDS binding to HSR in a concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore, [(125)I]MYTX binding to 30 kDa protein was inhibited by DIDS in a concentration-dependent manner. These results suggest that MYTX and DIDS release Ca(2+) from HSR in a common mechanism. The 30 kDa protein may be a target protein for the Ca(2+) releasing action of MYTX and DIDS. 相似文献

A gene coding for a 24 kDa protein (22 U homologous; As22U) was isolated from the Anisakis simplex third-stage larvae cDNA library during expressed sequence tag analysis. As22U was 636 bp long, and was found to code for 212 amino acid residues with a calculated mass of 23.5 kDa and a PI of 9.06. The As22U deduced amino acid sequence harbored a signal peptide region and 16 highly conserved cysteine residues, and it was identified in both the total extracts and excretory secretory (ES) protein of A. simplex. Its molecular weight was measured at 24 kDa via western blot analysis. The expression levels of thymic stromal lymphopoietin, IL-25, and CXCL1 (Gro-α) genes were increased at 6h after recombinant As22U treatment in mouse intestinal epithelial cells. Additionally, thymus and activation-regulated chemokine gene levels were increased at 14 h after treatment. Although we do not currently have sufficient evidence to determine whether As22U plays a role as an allergen, this remains possible. Further in vivo studies may provide some insight as to the allergenic properties of As22U. 相似文献

Binding protein for Escherichia coli heat-stable enterotoxin II in mouse intestinal membrane 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Abstract The protein binding Escherichia coli heat-stable enterotoxin II (STII) was isolated from cell membranes of mouse intestine. The binding of 125 I-labeled STII to the proteins was inhibited by unlabeled STII, showing that it is specific. Proteins cross-linked with 125 I-STII were purified by column chromatography on hydroxyapatite and TSK gel. Analyses of the purified protein by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophorosis and gel filtration showed that the molecular mass was 25 kDa. 相似文献

Sialidase isolated from human placenta is associated with several proteins including acid beta-galactosidase, carboxypeptidase, N-acetyl-alpha-galactosaminidase, and others. These proteins are thought to form an aggregated complex during isolation of sialidase. One of the proteins of 60 kDa was recently identified by Potier et al. (Biochem. Biophys. Res. Comm. 173, 449-456, 1990) as a sialidase protein: this protein also cross-reacted with anti-prosaposin antibodies. We have isolated this protein and from the following evidence identified it as a heavy chain component of immunoglobulin G and not sialidase or a derivative of prosaposin. On gel filtration HPLC, sialidase activity and the 60 kDa protein were clearly separated from one another. The 60 kDa protein cross-reacted not only with antibodies raised against human saposins A, C, and D, but also with second antibody (goat anti-rabbit immunoglobulin G antibody) alone. This 60 kDa protein strongly cross-reacted with anti-human immunoglobulin G antibodies. The sequence of the initial 15 amino acids from the N-terminus of the 60 kDa protein was identical to the sequence of an immunoglobulin G heavy chain protein Tie (gamma 1). 相似文献

A 14 kDa polypeptide in rat ileal cytosol has been identified as the major intestinal cytosolic bile acid-binding protein (I-BABP) by photoaffinity labeling with the radiolabeled 7,7-azo derivative of taurocholate (7,7-azo-TC). To further characterize I-BABP, the protein was purified by lysylglycocholate Sepharose 4B affinity and DE-52 anion-exchange chromatography. The purified I-BABP contained a single 14 kDa band on SDS-PAGE. The 14 kDa protein showed a 26-fold increase in binding affinity for [3H]7,7-azo-TC compared to cytosolic protein. Immunoblotting of protein fractions separated by affinity chromatography showed that neither liver fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP) nor intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP) bind to the affinity column and that the 14 kDa protein which bound to the column and was subsequently eluted with detergent did not cross-react with anti-L-FABP or anti-I-FABP. The 14 kDa protein labeled with [3H]7,7-azo-TC was radioimmunoprecipitated from cytosol by rabbit antiserum raised against purified I-BABP. I-BABP was shown to have a blocked N-terminus; however, its mixed internal sequence generated from cyanogen bromide-cleaved protein and amino acid composition indicated that it was related to (although clearly distinct from) both I-FABP and L-FABP. These studies have isolated a 14 kDa bile acid-binding protein from rat ileal cytosol which is immunologically and biochemically distinct from I-FABP and L-FABP. 相似文献

Bovine pulmonary artery smooth muscle tissue possesses matrix metalloproteinase-2 (72 kDa gelatinase: MMP-2; E.C. 3.4.24.24) as revealed by immunoblot studies of its plasma membrane suspension with polyclonal MMP-2 antibody. In this report, we described the purification and partial characterization of MMP-2 in the plasma membrane fraction of the smooth muscle. MMP-2 has been purified from plasma membrane fraction of bovine pulmonary artery smooth muscle to homogeneity using a combination of purification steps. Heparin sepharose purified preparation of 72 kDa progelatinase is composed of two distinct population of zymogens: a 72 kDa progelatinase tightly complexed with TIMP-2 (an ambient tissue inhibitor of metalloprotease in the smooth muscle plasma membrane), and a native 72 kDa progelatinase free of any detectable TIMP-2. The homogeneity of the native 72 kDa progelatinase form is demonstrated by SDS-PAGE under non-reducing condition, non-denaturing native gel electrophoresis. The purified TIMP-2 free proenzyme electrophoresed as a single band of 72 kDa which could be activated by APMA with the formation of 62 and 45 kDa active species. The proenzyme is activated poorly by trypsin but not by plasmin. The purified 72 kDa progelatinase is stable at aqueous solution and does not spontaneously autoactivate. The purified 72 kDa gelatinase exhibited properties that are typical of MMP-2 obtained from other sources. These are: (i) its activity is dependent on the divalent cation, Ca+2, and is inhibited by EDTA, EGTA and 1:1 0-phenanthroline; (ii) it was inhibited by a, macroglobulin but not by the inhibitors of serine, cysteine, thiol, aspartic proteinases and calpains; (iii) it was found to be inhibited by TIMP-2, the specific inhibitor of MMP-2; (iv) like MMP-2, obtained from other sources, its major substrates were found to be collagens (type IV and V) and gelatins (type I, IV and V). Additionally, the purified MMP-2 degrades Dnp-Pro-Gln-Gly-Ile-Ala-Gly-Gln-D-Arg-OH (dinitrophenyl labelled peptide), a well known synthetic substrate for the MMP-2. 相似文献

Acetaminophen is metabolized by cytochrome P450 to a reactive metabolite that covalently binds to proteins and this binding correlates with the hepatotoxicity. The major protein adduct was previously reported to be a 55 kDa protein that was detected on Western blots using antisera specific for 3-(cystein-S-yl)acetaminophen. In this study, the 55 kDa protein was isolated using a combination of ion exchange fast flow chromatography, hydroxyapatite HPLC and anion exchange HPLC. Amino acid sequences of 8 internal peptides from a trypsin digestion of the 55 kDa protein were found to have 97% homology with the deduced amino acid sequence from a cDNA that corresponds to a 56 kDa selenium binding protein. This is the first report of a specific protein to which a metabolite of acetaminophen covalently binds. 相似文献
