Human serum butyrylcholinesterase (EC 3.1.1.8) loses 100% of its activity toward butyrylthiocholine in 60 min atpH 3.0. This deactivation is retarded by 1.37 M ammonium sulfate to a loss of 40% after 60 min atpH 3.0. Reneutralization experiments suggest that the mechanism for this acid inactivation does not exclusively involve hydrolysis of peptide bonds or protonation of the enzyme's active site. Studies with different anions and cations demonstrate that the order of their effectiveness as protective agent against acid inactivation closely follows the Hofmeister series. No relationship was found between catalytic activation or inhibition by salt and protection from acid inactivation. Ultraviolet difference studies at 288 nm with enzyme brought topH 2.7 frompH 8.0 in the presence and absence of 1.37 M ammonium sulfate demonstrated no change in UV absorbance with ammonium sulfate present and approximately a 0.15 ODU rise in absorbance in the absence of ammonium sulfate. These results suggest that acidicpH conditions result in deactivating stereochemical changes in the active site of butyrylcholinesterase and that certain anions and cations, according to the Hofmeister series, are able to protect the enzyme from acid inactivation by stabilizing the active conformation of its active site. 相似文献

A butyrylcholinesterase of mol.wt. approx. 83000 was observed in pooled rabbit serum. The enzyme was named monomeric butyrylcholinesterase to distinguish it from the larger oligomeric butyrylcholinesterase of horse and human serum whose subunits are the same size as the monomeric enzyme. The active-site concentration of monomeric butyrylcholinesterase in the pooled serum was 0.18mum, which is five times the concentration of butyrylcholinesterase in pooled horse serum. This was surprising, since the horse serum is regarded as a rich source of butyrylcholinesterase, whereas rabbit serum is not generally thought to contain significant amounts of any butyrylcholinesterase. The explanation, in large part, was the relatively low k(cat.) of the monomeric enzyme, which was approx. 57s(-1) with butyrylthiocholine as substrate and is one-thirtieth of the comparable k(cat.) of horse butyrylcholinesterase. The substrate specificity of monomeric butyrylcholinesterase also differed significantly from that of horse and human butyrylcholinesterase. For example, with the monomeric enzyme, the hydrolysis of 1mm-acetylthiocholine was only 4% the rate for 1mm-butyrylthiocholine, whereas human and horse butyrylcholinesterases hydrolysed 1mm-acetylthiocholine at 50% of the rate for 1mm-butyrylthiocholine. Moreover, monomeric butyrylcholinesterase generally hydrolysed aromatic esters more rapidly than choline esters, whereas the reverse is true of the butyrylcholinesterases. To facilitate the study of monomeric butyrylcholinesterase, it was separated from the larger butyrylcholinesterase and acetylcholinesterase, also present in rabbit serum, and purified 89-fold by fractionation with (NH(4))(2)SO(4) and ion-exchange chromatography. 相似文献

1. The immune precipitate formed by antipneumococcus horse serum and the specific polysaccharide is not hydrolyzed by trypsin as is the diphtheria toxin-antitoxin complex, and purified pneumococcus antibody cannot be isolated by the method used for the isolation and crystallization of diphtheria antitoxin. 2. Type I pneumococcus antibody, completely precipitable by Type I polysaccharide, may be obtained from immune horse serum globulin by precipitation of the inert proteins with acid potassium phthalate. 3. The antibody obtained in this way may be fractionated by precipitation with ammonium sulfate into three main parts. One is insoluble in neutral salts but soluble from pH 4.5 to 3.0 and from pH 9.5 to 10.5. This is the largest fraction. A second fraction is soluble in 0.05 to 0.2 saturated ammonium sulfate and the third fraction is soluble in 0.2 saturated ammonium sulfate and precipitated by 0.35 saturated ammonium sulfate. The second fraction can be further separated by precipitation with 0.17 saturated ammonium sulfate to yield a small amount of protein which is soluble in 0.17 saturated ammonium sulfate but insoluble in 0.25 saturated ammonium sulfate. This fraction crystallizes in poorly formed, rounded rosettes. 4. The crystallization does not improve the purity of the antibody and is accompanied by the formation of an insoluble protein as in the case of diphtheria antitoxin. 5. None of the fractions obtained is even approximately homogeneous as determined by solubility measurements. 6. Purified antibody has also been obtained by dissociating the antigen-antibody complex. 7. The protective value of the fractions is quite different; that of the dissociated antibody being the highest and that of the insoluble fraction, the lowest. 8. All the fractions are immunologically specific since they do not precipitate with Type II polysaccharide nor protect against Type II pneumococci. 9. All the fractions give a positive precipitin reaction with antihorse rabbit serum. The dissociated antibody gives the least reaction. 10. Comparison of the various fractions, either by their solubility in salt solution or through immunological reactions, indicates that there are a large number of proteins present in immune horse serum, all of which precipitate with the specific polysaccharide but which have very different protective values, different reactions with antihorse rabbit serum, and different solubility in salt solutions. 相似文献

The biochemical method for determination of cetyltrimethyl ammonium or cetylpyridinium, both being nitrogenated cationic surfactants, has been devised by using horse blood serum butyrylcholinesterase as analytical reagent. The method streams from the fact that surfactants tested are inhibitors of butyrylcholinesterase hydrolysis of butyrylcholin, a cationic substrate, but in this case they activate enzymatic hydrolysis of 1-naphthylacetate, a neutral substrate. Presence two opposite effects enlarges reliability to identifications. Use the sensitive fluorimetric method to registrations of activation of hydrolysis a substrate 1-naphtylacetate vastly to reduce the threshold of determination of surfactants above. 相似文献

A series of O,O-diethyl-1-(N-alpha-hydrohexafluoroisobutyryl)aminoalkylphos phonates (APh) has been synthesized and their interaction with human erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and with horse serum butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) studied. Most of the APhs inactivated the cholinesterases irreversible through formation of the enzyme-inhibitor intermediate. The inactivation rate constants and the enzyme-inhibitor intermediate dissociation constants are calculated. The quantitative structure-activity relationships including both hydrophobic and calculated steric parameters of substituents are developed for APh--ChE interactions. Molecular mechanics (programme MM2) was used for determining steric parameters (Es). On the basis of QSAR models analysis it was concluded that hydrophobic interactions play an essential role in APh--AChE binding, whereas for APh--BuChE binding steric interactions are essential. Presence of at least two APh binding centres on the surface of AChE and BuChE is suggested. 相似文献

This report documents studies on the spontaneous reactivation of human erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase and human serum butyrylcholinesterase following inhibition by organophosphinate esters. The spontaneous reactivation reactions were carried out at 26.0 degrees C in 0.10 M phosphate buffer of pH 7.6. Based upon results at 24 h, human serum butyrylcholinesterase inhibited with 4-nitrophenyl methyl (4-methoxyphenyl) phosphinate was the most responsive (92.5% recovery) of the nine esters studied. Using the same criteria, the most active compound in the human erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase studies was 4-nitrophenyl methyl(phenyl)phosphinate (74.2% recovery). With seven of the nine compounds examined the response was greater from the serum enzyme than from the erythrocyte enzyme. 相似文献

Low pH viral inactivation is typically performed in the eluate pool following the protein A capture step during the manufacturing of monoclonal antibodies and Fc‐fusion proteins. However, exposure to low pH has the potential to alter protein quality. To avoid these difficulties, novel wash buffers capable of inactivating viruses while antibodies or Fc‐fusion proteins were bound to protein A or mixed mode resins were developed. By equilibrating the column in high salt buffer (2 M ammonium sulfate or 3 M sodium chloride) after loading, the hydrophobic interactions between antibodies and protein A ligands were increased enough to prevent elution at pH 3. The ammonium sulfate was also found to cause binding of an antibody to a mixed mode cation exchange and a mixed mode anion exchange resin at pH values that caused elution in conventional cation and anion exchange resins (pH 3.5 for Capto Adhere and pH 8.0 for Capto MMC), indicating that retention was due to enhanced hydrophobic interactions. The potential of the 2 M ammonium sulfate pH 3 buffer, a 1 M arginine buffer, and a buffer containing the detergent LDAO to inactivate XMuLV virus when used as protein A wash buffers with a 1 hour contact time were studied. The high salt and detergent containing wash buffers provided about five logs of removal, determined using PCR, and complete combined removal and inactivation (> 6 logs), determined by measuring infectivity. The novel protein A washes could provide more rapid, automated viral inactivation steps with lower pool conductivities. © 2014 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Differences were observed in the extent of thermal inactivation of human butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) and eel acetylcholinesterase (AChE). BuChE was more resistant to 57°C inactivation than was AChE. Thermal inactivation of BuChE was reversible and followed first-order kinetics. AChE thermal inactivation was irreversible and did not follow first-order kinetics. AChE was marginally protected from thermal inactivation by the nonspecific salts ammonium sulfate and sodium chloride and to a greater extent by the active site-specific salts choline chloride, sodium acetate, and acetylcholine iodide. This protection was accompanied by a loss of absorbance at 280 nm. This data supports the hypothesis that thermal inactivation of AChE occurs by conformational scrambling and that aromatic amino acid residue(s) are involved in this process.Recipient of a research fellowship from the UNCW graduate school. 相似文献

The kinetics of hydrolysis of N-methyl-N-(β-acetoxyethyl)-piperidinium by highly purified horse blood serum butyrylcholinesterase is studied at pH 7.5 and 25°C. A pronounced inhibition of catalytic activity of this enzyme by high concentrations of the substrate is revealed. The substrate inhibition can be explained either by interaction of the acylated enzyme with substrate with formation of the corresponding inactive complex ES'S or by sorption of substrate outside the enzyme active center and the resulted conformational changes of the enzyme molecule. 相似文献

A simple one-column procedure for the separation of swine and human serum transferrins 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
J S Baumstark 《Journal of biochemical and biophysical methods》1987,14(2):59-70
A rapid method for the separation of transferrin from swine or human serum is described. Serum (human or swine) is brought to 50% of saturation with ammonium sulfate for removal of immunoglobulins, the resulting precipitate discarded and the supernatant brought to 70% of saturation. The resulting precipitate was dissolved in and dialyzed against 1.54 mM sodium azide (I = 0.00154). Chromatography of the low ionic strength ammonium sulfate fractions (= 20 ml of swine or human serum, 70% of saturation) on columns of Bio-Gel A-1.5 m-Reactive Blue 2, equilibrated with 1.54 mM sodium azide, resulted in two peaks, a breakthrough peak and pure transferrin which was eluted with a linear gradient with 0.5 M potassium phosphate buffer, pH 7.1, as limit buffer. Yields varied between 53 and 55% from whole serum and 70-76% from the ammonium sulfate fractions. Transferrins from both species were found to be homogeneous when subjected to immunoelectrophoresis (anti whole serum antibody) and anionic and sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis. Hemopexin, a frequently found contaminant in transferrin preparations, is tightly bound by the gel-dye complex under the experimental conditions. Swine serum transferrin possesses many physicochemical properties practically identical to the human protein. Although small differences in physicochemical properties were apparent the extinction coefficients, molecular weights, electrophoretic mobilities, absorbance maxima of the diferric proteins (470 nm), isoelectric points and the absorbance ratios (465 nm/410 nm) of the diferric proteins were practically identical. Both swine and human transferrin produced a reaction of identity (complete coalescence) when reacted with antibody to either transferrin. 相似文献

Five derivatives of benzimidazole, compounds with delocalized charge in cationic group, are studied and turned out to be reversible inhibitors of hydrolysis of acetylthiocholine under action of acetylcholinesterase from human erythrocytes, butyrylcholinesterase from horse blood serum, and cholinesterases from brain of the brown frog Rana temporaria and from optical ganglion of the Pacific squid Todarodes pacificus. It was only for acetylcholinesterase from erythrocyte as well as (with propyonylthiocholine as substrate) from squid that sensitivity to the studied benzimidazole derivatives correlated with degree of localization of the charge in the cationic group; this confirms the current concepts of functioning of the enzyme active center. A comparative study of 9 ammonium inhibitors with localized cation in their molecules, including the complete sterical analogue of the benzimidazole derivatives, benzimidazolinium iodide, has revealed both quantitative and qualitative differences. 相似文献

Proteolysis of horse blood serum proteins at various stages of antitoxic sera production by the Diaferm-3 method 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

When preparing antitoxic sera by the method "Diaferm-3", it was found that proteolysis of the horse blood serum occurs not only at the fermentation step (pepsin treatment at the enzyme-substrate ratio of 1/10, t 20-23 degrees for an hour at pH 3.3 and for the next hour at pH 4.2), but also at the heat treatment step (45 min at pH 4.3, t 56-58 degrees in the presence of ammonium sulfate at a concentration of 140-145 g/l). At the fermentation step immunoglobulins do not split completely into F(ab')2 fragments, 40% of the antitoxic activity being lost at this step. Some ballast proteins--albumin, fibrinogen, etc.--quickly split up into peptides, while other proteins undergo only limited proteolysis. Structural destabilization of serum proteins during thermodenaturing is favorable for the pepsin action and provides for a complete conversion of immunoglobulins to F(ab')2 and Fab' fragments. At this step about 15% of the antitoxic activity is additionally lost. Thus, proteolysis at the thermodenaturation step is an essential part of the "Diaferm-3" process. 相似文献

The physical and chemical characterization of horse serum butyrylcholinesterase has been extended. The results show that the enzyme is a glycoprotein containing about 20% carbohydrate by weight. Mannose, glucosamine, galactose, and sialic acid are the sugar residues found. The extinction coefficient of butyrylcholinesterase, E1cm1% at 280 nm, was found to be 15.2 ± 0.3 by dry weight determination. The molecular weight of the protein in dilute phosphate buffer was determined to be (31.7 ± 1.2) × 104 by high speed equilibrium sedimentation with a redetermined partial specific volume of 0.723 ± 0.003 ml/g. Subunit molecular weights for the dissociated protein were found to be (7.9 ± 0.4) × 104 and (8.1 ± 0.1) × 104, respectively, in guanidine hydrochloride and in a solution at pH 11.8. The subunit molecular weight was also estimated to be (8.8 ± 0.2) × 104 by analytical sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis. This apparently higher subunit molecular weight from dodecyl sulfate gels is expected for glycoproteins containing significant amounts of carbohydrate. No free sulfhydryl group was detected, even though there are six half-cystines in each subunit. Therefore, it seems likely that there are three pairs of disulfide bonds per subunit. The available data indicate that native butyrylcholinesterase is a tetrameric glycoprotein consisting of subunits of equal molecular weight. 相似文献

Treatment of human serum with ammonium sulfate fraction (0-50%) of Alocasia macrorhiza tuber extract resulted in precipitation at neutral pH. The precipitate was dissolved at pH 10.5 and chromatographed on Sephadex G-100 column. Two protein peaks were resolved. While the first peak represented alpha2-macroglobulin and haptoglobin, the second peak accounted for specific Alocasia protein. Incidentally the Alocasia protein was shown to be responsible for selective and specific precipitation of alpha2-macroglobulin and haptoglobin from serum. Thus the plant protein in its pure form or in crude stage could be used for the rapid isolation of two of the prominent alpha2-globulins. 相似文献

A quantitative comparison was made on the fractionation of pepsin-digested horse antivenoms by ammonium sulfate (AS) fractional precipitation and ion-exchange chromatography on Q-Sepharose. In the precipitation process, pepsin digested horse anti-Naja kaouthia serum was precipitated by 30% saturated AS followed by 50% saturated AS. The recovery of antibody activity [as measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) against the cobra postsynaptic neurotoxin 3] from the 30–50% saturated AS precipitate was 53% with a 1.93-fold purification. For the chromatographic process, the behavior of the horse antitoxin antibody and its F(ab′)2 fragments was first studied. The pepsin digested horse serum was then desalted on a Bio-gel P-2 column followed by chromatography on Q-Sepharose using a linear gradient (20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0 containing 0.0 to 0.5 M NaCl). A peak containing primarily the F(ab′)2 antibody could be obtained. This peak constituted 73% of the total antivenom activity with 2.08-fold purification. The total recovery of antibody activity by the chromatographic process was 90%. The yield of antibody activity was about 2-fold higher than that reported previously with other fractionation procedures. The implications of these results for the refining of horse therapeutic antivenoms are discussed. 相似文献

AbstractA fluorometric method is presented that allows a continuous monitoring in 50% (v/v) human serum of the release of liposome-entrapped doxorubicin (DXR).This method exploits the intrinsic fluorescence of DXR and uses DNA as a fluorescence quencher of the released drug. It is much more simple and rapid than the commonly used methods. It is shown that this method can be applied to the study of the stability of liposomal-DXR encapsulated using either an ammonium sulfate gradient or a pH gradient. Small unilamellar vesicles (SUVs) made from egg yolk phosphatidylcholines (EPC) were much less stable, either in phosphate buffer saline or in human serum, than SUVs made from a 1/1 mixture of EPC and cholesterol (Choi). SUVs made from EPC/Chol loaded with DXR using an ammonium sulfate gradient were found to be more stable than those loaded using a pH gradient. 相似文献

Alkyl tributylphosphonium and triphenylphosphonium derivatives as well as tetraphenylphosphonium were first studied as inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase of human blood erythrocytes and butyrylcholinesterase of horse blood serum. The inhibition is reversible, of mixed type, with a different contribution of competitive and uncompetitive components. The value of the inhibitory effect is essentially dependent on the structure of phosphonium compounds, especially in experiments with butyrylcholinesterase: allyltriphenylphosphonium is 290 times as strong enzyme inhibitor as methyltributylphosphonium. Hexyltributylphosphonium is identical to hexyltributylammonium in both the pattern and efficiency of the inhibitory action on cholinesterases. 相似文献

D-Erythrulose reductase of beef liver was crystallized from ammonium sulfate solution at pH 8.17. The crystals are needle-shaped. The enzyme protein contains 851 amino acid residues per mole of the enzyme: Lys28, His11, Arg52, Asp79, Thr58, Ser56, Glu68, Pro20, Gly80, Ala107, Val112, Met24, Ile31, Leu88, Tyr7, Phe22, Trp4, and Cys4. The enzyme is inactivated by exposure to temperatures below 12degrees. The inactivation is accelerated by increasing the salt concentration and decreasing the enzyme concentration. The pH of the medium also has a pronounced effect, the maximum stability of the enzyme is obtained at pH 8.5. NADP+ protected the enzyme from cold inactivation at all stages of the process and also afforded protection against inactivation by heat and pH. The cold inactivation of the enzyme is accompanied by dissociation of the enzyme protein to subunits. 相似文献

Interaction with cholinesterases (ChEs) of nine specially synthesized derivatives of dimethylaminoalkyl esters of 2-chloro-and 2,4-dichlorobenzoic acids and their iodoalkylates is studied. Used as enzyme sources were partially purified preparations of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) from human erythrocytes and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) from horse blood serum, as well as water homogenates of the frog Rana temporaria brain and of the Pacific squid Todarodes pacificus optical ganglia. The studied benzoates failed to be hydrolyzed by the studied ChEs at the enzyme concentrations exceeding 10 times those used for determination of the acetylthiocholine hydrolysis rate. These compounds have turned out to be reversible inhibitors of ChEs of the mixed-noncompetitive type of action. Effects on the anticholinesterase activity of such structural elements of the inhibitors as the acidic part of the benzoate molecule, length of polymethylene chain in the molecule alcoholic part, and the structure of ammonium group are studied. This study has allowed revealing some peculiarities of the reaction capability of vertebrate and invertebrate ChEs. 相似文献

The study was performed to check whether the horse blood serum butyrylcholinesterase expresses transferase activity in the presence of several low-molecular aliphatic alcohols, using chromogenic substrate 1-methyl-8-acetoxychinolium iodide whose phenolic hydrolysis product absorbs intensively at 445 nm, whereas the initial ester practically does not absorb within this spectrum area. This allowed measuring simultaneously accumulation of both products of enzymatic hydrolysis: of acetic acid by the potentiometric, while of phenol—by the colorimetric method. Rates of formation of both products of enzymatic hydrolysis are practically equal in experiments with all studied alcohols. This indicates that horse blood serum butyrylcholinesterase under these experimental conditions does not catalyze the transfer of acetyl residue to the studied aliphatic alcohols, i.e. does not have transferase activity. 相似文献
