Lung surfactant is the surface-active agent comprised of phospholipids and proteins that lines pulmonary alveoli. Surfactant stabilizes the alveolar volume by reducing surface tension. Previously, we identified a lysosomal phospholipase A2, termed LPLA2, with specificity toward phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine. The phospholipase is localized to lysosomes, is calcium-independent, has an acidic pH optimum, and transacylates ceramide. Here, we demonstrate that LPLA2 is selectively expressed in alveolar macrophages but not in peritoneal macrophages, peripheral blood monocytes, or other tissues. Other macrophage-associated phospholipase A2s do not show a comparable distribution. LPLA2 is of high specific activity and recognizes disaturated phosphatidylcholine as a substrate. The lysosomal phospholipase A2 activity is six times lower in alveolar macrophages from mice with a targeted deletion of the granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), a model of impaired surfactant catabolism, compared with those from wild-type mice. However, LPLA2 activity and protein levels are measured in GM-CSF null mice in which GM-CSF is expressed as a transgene under the control of the surfactant protein C promoter. Thus LPLA2 may be a major enzyme of pulmonary surfactant phospholipid degradation by alveolar macrophages and may be deficient in disorders of surfactant metabolism. 相似文献

Bovine serum albumin (BSA) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) catalyzed the monooxidation of organic disulfides with peroxides to optically active thiosulfinates. With BSA, a hydrophobic disulfide was oxidized in a stereoselective manner, and the nature of the oxidant (H2O2 or tert-butyl hydroperoxide) controlled the absolute configuration of the product. The rates of HRP-catalyzed thiosulfination in methanol were several times faster than in water but the enzyme was less stereoselective. 相似文献

The peroxidase from Coprinus cinereus (CPX) catalyzed oxidative oligomerization of 4-chloroaniline (4-CA) forming several products: N-(4-chlorophenyl)-benzoquinone monoamine (dimer D), 4,4'-dichloroazobenzene (dimer E); 2-(4-chloroanilino)-N-(4-chlorophenyl)-benzoquinone (trimer F); 2-amino-5-chlorobenzoquinone-di-4-chloroanil (trimer G); 2-(4-chloroanilino)-5-hydroxybenzoquinone-di-4-chloroanil (tetramer H) and 2-amino-5-(-4-chlroanilino)-benzoquinone-di-4-chloroanil (tetramer 1). In the presence of 4-CA and H2O2, CPX was irreversibly inactivated within 10 min. Inactivation of CPX in the presence of H2O2 was a time-dependent, first-order process when the concentration of 4-CA was varied between 0 and 2.5 mM. The apparent dissociation constant (Ki) for CPX and 4-CA was 0.71 mM. The pseudo-first order rate constant for inactivation (k(inact)), was 1.15 x 10(-2) s(-1). Covalent incorporation of 20 mole 14C-4-CA per mole of inactivated CPX was observed. The partition ratio was about 2200 when either 4-CA or H2O2 was used as the limiting substrate. These results show that 4-CA is a metabolically activated inactivator (i.e. a suicide substrate). Unmodified heme and hydroxymethyl heme were isolated from native, 4-CA-inactivated and H2O2-incubated CPX. Inactivation resulted in significant losses in both heme contents. Analysis of tryptic peptides from 4-CA-inactivated CPX by MALDI-TOF/ MS and UV-VIS spectrophotometry suggested that trimer G and tetramer H were the major 4-CA derivatives that were covalently bound, including to a peptide (MGDAGF-SPDEVVDLLAAHSLASQEGLNSAIFR) containing the heme binding site. These studies show that heme destruction and covalent modification of the polypeptide chain are both important for the inactivation of CPX. These results were compared with similar studies on 4-CA-inactivated horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and bovine lactoperoxidase (LPO) during the oxidation of 4-CA. 相似文献

Lucifer Yellow CH (LY) is an excellent probe for fluid-phase pinocytosis. It accumulates within the macrophage vacuolar system, is not degraded, and is not toxic at concentrations of 6.0 mg/ml. Its uptake is inhibited at 0 degree C. Thioglycollate-elicited mouse peritoneal macrophages were found to exhibit curvilinear uptake kinetics of LY. Upon addition of LY to the medium, there was a brief period of very rapid cellular accumulation of the dye (1,400 ng of LY/mg protein per h at 1 mg/ml LY). This rate of accumulation most closely approximates the rate of fluid influx by pinocytosis. Within 60 min, the rate of LY accumulation slowed to a steady-state rate of 250 ng/mg protein per h which then continued for up to 18 h. Pulse-chase experiments revealed that the reduced rate of accumulation under steady-state conditions was due to efflux of LY. Only 20% of LY taken into the cells was retained; the remainder was released back into the medium. Efflux has two components, rapid and slow; each can be characterized kinetically as a first-order reaction. The kinetics are similar to those described by Besterman et al. (Besterman, J. M., J. A. Airhart, R. C. Woodworth, and R. B. Low, 1981, J. Cell Biol. 91:716-727) who interpret fluid-phase pinocytosis as involving at least two compartments, one small, rapidly turning over compartment and another apparently larger one which fills and empties slowly. To search for processes that control intracellular fluid traffic, we studied pinocytosis after treatment of macrophages with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) or with the tumor promoter phorbol myristate acetate (PMA). HRP, often used as a marker for fluid-phase pinocytosis, was observed to stimulate the rate of LY accumulation in macrophages. PMA caused an immediate four- to sevenfold increase in the rate of LY accumulation. Both HRP and PMA increased LY accumulation by stimulating influx and reducing the percentage of internalized fluid that is rapidly recycled. A greater proportion of endocytosed fluid passes into the slowly emptying compartment (presumed lysosomes). These experiments demonstrate that because of the considerable efflux by cells, measurement of marker accumulation inaccurately estimates the rate of fluid pinocytosis. Moreover, pinocytic flow of water and solutes through cytoplasm is subject to regulation at points beyond the formation of pinosomes. 相似文献

Summary A mouse hybridoma HS@03A secreting anti-horseradish peroxidase (HRPO) monoclonal antibodies (IgG1) was established. A HAT sensitive clone of HS@03A was obtained by culturing the hybridoma cells in a 6-thioguanine supplemented medium. The resulting clone 03AR10-2 was fused with a 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine resistant (HAT sensitive) clone of a mouse hybridoma HB8852 secreting anti-bovine lactoferrin (bLF) antibodies. Hybrid-hybridomas secreting bispecific antibodies were selected and a hybrid-hybridoma clone HH1-4-3 was established. The bispecific antibodies secreted by the hybrid-hybridoma HH1-4-3 were found to be useful for the analysis of bLF by competitive ELISA. 相似文献

Reactive oxygen species production by bovine pulmonary alveolar macrophages was evaluated by a chemiluminescence assay utilizing luminol and opsonized zymosan. Incubation with dobutamine (5 x 10(-8) and 5 x 10(-7) M) or isoproterenol (5 x 10(-8) and 5 x 10(-7) M) prior to zymosan challenge significantly (p less than 0.05) increased the time for chemiluminescence to begin, and significantly decreased the level of maximum chemiluminescence. The agonists' inhibitory effects on maximum chemiluminescence were significantly reduced by pre-incubation with the appropriate antagonist (atenolol at 1 x 10(-6) M for dobutamine; and propranolol at 1 x 10(-6) M for isoproterenol). Salbutamol at 1 x 10(-6) M significantly reduced the level of maximum chemiluminescence only, but did not increase the time for chemiluminescence to begin. This effect was significantly reduced by the presence of the beta 2-antagonist ICI 118,551 at 1 x 10(-6) M. The results reveal the presence of beta 1- and beta 2-adrenoceptors on bovine pulmonary alveolar macrophages, and suggest that these receptors are important in the regulation of reactive oxygen species production by these cells. 相似文献

Electrospinning, a simple and versatile method to fabricate nanofibrous supports, has attracted attention in the field of enzyme immobilization. Biocomposite nanofibers were fabricated from mixed PVA/BSA solution and the effects of glutaraldehyde treatment, initial BSA concentration and PVA concentration on protein loading were investigated. Glutaraldehyde cross-linking significantly decreased protein release from nanofibers and BSA loading reached as high as 27.3% (w/w). In comparison with the HRP immobilized into the nascent nanofibrous membrane, a significant increase was observed in the activity retention of the enzyme immobilized into the PVA/BSA biocomposite nanofibers. The immobilized HRP was able to tolerate much higher concentrations of hydrogen peroxide than the free enzyme and thus the immobilized enzyme did not demonstrate substrate inhibition. The immobilized HRP retained 50% of the free enzyme activity at 6.4 mM hydrogen peroxide and no significant variation was observed in the KM value of the enzyme for hydrogen peroxide after immobilization. In addition, reusability tests showed that the residual activity of the immobilized HRP were 73% after 11 reuse cycles. Together, these results demonstrate efficient immobilization of HRP into electrospun PVA/BSA biocomposite nanofibers and provide a promising immobilization strategy for biotechnological applications. 相似文献

In a previous study we have shown that bringing horseradish peroxidase to pH 3.0 induces a spectroscopic transition (G. Smulevich et al., Biochemistry 36 (1997) 640). We have extended the investigation on this pH-linked conformational change to different experimental conditions, such as (i) in phosphate alone, (ii) in HCl alone and (iii) in phosphate + NaCl. The data obtained allow a number of conclusions to be drawn, namely: (a) the exposure to pH 3.0 under all conditions brings about an alteration of the distal portion of the heme pocket, leading to the rapid formation of a hexa-coordinated species; (b) only in the presence of phosphate is the hexa-coordination followed by a slow cleavage (or severe weakening) of the proximal Fe-His bond, and (c) the rate of this second process is speeded up in the presence of Cl- ions. Such observations underline the presence of a communication pathway between the two opposite sides of the heme pocket, such that any alteration of the structural arrangement on one side of the heme cavity is transmitted to the other, inducing a corresponding conformational change. 相似文献

Lysosomal aryl sulphatase in pulmonary alveolar cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Summary Lysosomal aryl sulphatase has been localised in the lung at the electron microscopic level using a nitrocatechol sulphate barium chloride medium. Variations in fixative concentration and incubation time were found to be important in minimising lysosomal leakage. The distribution of aryl sulphatase in the lung corresponded closely to that of acid phosphatase. Large amounts were found in alveolar macrophages and small quantities in the type II alveolar epithelial cell. In the latter cell the enzyme was found in the lamellar vacuoles thought to represent the site of surfactant production. The significance of this in regard to the function of these organelles is discussed. 相似文献

Summary A tartrate-resistant purple acid phosphatase was localized in human and bovine alveolar macrophages by enzyme- and immuno-histochemistry using an antibody to bovine spleen purple phosphatase. The enzyme could be detected in human and bovine lung tissues as well as on cytospin preparations of alveolar macrophage suspensions from bronchoalveolar lavages. The immunological identity of human and bovine purple phosphatases from alveolar macrophages was demonstrated by Western blot analysis of material separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A possible significance of the purple phosphatase as a marker enzyme of activated cells of the mononuclear phagocyte system is discussed. 相似文献

Upon photoirradiation under aerobic conditions, the porphyrin prosthetic group in Mg-substituted horseradish peroxidase was oxidized to a mixture of its pi-cation radical and an oxidized product with an absorption band at 448 nm. The 448 nm compound was then converted to a 489 nm compound in the dark and the activation energy for the conversion was 19.3 kcal/mol. About 1 mol of O2 was consumed per mol of the 448 nm compound formed and no O2 consumption was seen in the dark reaction. The substitution of ethyl groups (meso) and hydroxyethyl groups (hemato) for the vinyl groups in protoporphyrin IX did not have an effect on the result. Under anaerobic conditions and in the presence of a suitable electron acceptor, the only photooxidation product of porphyrin was its pi-cation radical. The formation of hydroxyl radicals during irradiation under aerobic conditions was confirmed by the spin-trapping method. The formation of the above two radicals could be followed by ESR spectroscopy separately at a fixed magnetic field which was set to maximize each ESR signal. The rate of hydroxyl radical formation depended linearly on the concentration of Mg peroxidase. The photooxidation of porphyrin was slow and gave nonspecific product(s) when Mg protoporphyrin IX was present in the heme crevice of apomyoglobin or free in solution. 相似文献

Conditions for copolymerization of native and sodium periodate-oxidized horseradish peroxidase (HTP; EC 1.11.1.7) have been optimized. Copolymerization products have been characterized electrophoretically, spectrally, and kinetically. Copolymers containing 2-3, 4, 5-7, and 9-10 molecules of the enzyme were found among the products of polymerization. The copolymers had lower values of D403/D280 than HRP. The copolymers had more ordered structures than the original HRP. Comparison of the thermal stability and kinetic characteristics of the fractions differing in the ratio of copolymers to the monomeric enzyme demonstrated that the polymeric products were more stable than HRP (in terms of resistance to high temperature or inhibitory effects of H202), but their kinetic activity was, on the whole, lower than that of the original enzyme. 相似文献

A detailed study of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) uptake by in vitro cultured bone marrow-derived macrophages was undertaken. Biochemical quantitations performed over a wide range of HRP concentrations, in the absence or presence of yeast mannan, showed that these macrophages pinocytose HRP by both fluid phase and mannose receptor-mediated uptake. The relative contribution of these two types of endocytosis varied with the concentration of enzyme in the extracellular medium. A morphological study at the light and electron microscope levels conducted in parallel confirmed the biochemical data. 相似文献
