Method for determination of angiotensin-converting enzyme activity in blood and tissue by high-performance liquid chromatography

A simplified method for an angiotensin-converting enzyme activity assay in biological samples was developed. Samples were incubated with hippurylhistidylleucine, an artificial substrate of angiotensin-converting enzyme. The reaction was terminated by the addition of metaphosphoric acid and liberated hippuric acid in the supernatant was quantitated directly by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Tissues were homogenized in the presence of Nonidet-P40, a detergent, and the resulting supernatant was used for the assay of tissue angiotensin-converting enzyme activity by high-performance liquid chromatography. The present procedure made it possible to determine angiotensin-converting enzyme activity in whole blood and the total activity in tissues. A comparative study of angiotensin-converting enzyme activity in plasma, kidney and lung of five experimental animals showed a high degree of variation from species to species.     

Purification and some physico-chemical properties of myocardial adenylate deaminase

A procedure for isolation of adenylate deaminase from duck heart muscle has been developed. The method includes extraction of enzyme, chromatography on cellulose phosphate, fractionation by ammonium sulfate, chromatography on Sephadex G-25 and ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. The enzyme was purified approximately 4000-fold with a yield of 25%. Electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel revealed that the enzyme contains no proteins other than adenylate deaminase. The enzyme has a UV absorption spectrum typical for proteins which contain no nucleic acid impurities. Using sievorptive chromatography, it was shown that the myocardial extract contains two adenylate deaminase forms, which are tetramers with mol. weights of 190 000 and 240 000. The molecular weights of the subunits are 47 000 and 63 000, respectively. In the oligomeric form the enzyme is only detected at high enzyme concentrations and in the presence of large amounts of substrate.     

Isolation and characterization of hyodeoxycholic-acid: UDP-glucuronosyltransferase from human liver

The enzyme hyodeoxycholic-acid: UDP-glucuronosyltransferase was purified about 230-fold from a solubilized human liver microsomal preparation utilizing anion-exchange chromatography, ampholyte-displacement chromatography and UDP-hexanolamine--Sepharose affinity chromatography. The homogeneity of the final enzyme preparation was judged by two criteria: the appearance of a single band of Mr 52000 in SDS/PAGE; the elution of a single peak in reversed-phase FPLC. The isolated enzyme catalyzed the glucuronidation of the 6 alpha-hydroxy bile acids hyodeoxycholic and hyocholic acids, and of the steroid hormone estriol, with a ratio of relative reaction rates of 13:1:2.7. UDP-glucuronosyltransferase activities toward the 3 alpha-hydroxy bile acid lithocholic acid, androsterone, testosterone, bilirubin and p-nitrophenol were not detectable in the pure enzyme preparation and were shown to be separated from enzyme activity toward hyodeoxycholic acid during ampholyte-displacement chromatography and/or UDP-hexanolamine--Sepharose affinity chromatography. Two-substrate kinetic analysis of hyodeoxycholic-acid-conjugating activity gave a sequential mechanism with apparent Km values of 12 microM and 4 microM for hyodeoxycholic acid and UDP-glucuronic acid, respectively. Phospholipids were required for reconstitution of maximal activity toward hyodeoxycholic acid. Phosphatidylcholine was the most effective activator of enzyme activity.     

A high-performance liquid chromatography method for the assay of cytidine monophosphate-sialic acid synthetase

An HPLC method has been developed for the assay of cytidine monophosphate-sialic acid synthetase (EC 2.7.7.43) using ion-pair chromatography and gradient elution. This procedure permits the assay of alternative substrates and inhibitors of the enzyme and is not subject to the limitation of the colorimetric method. The newly synthesized N-acetyl-9-deoxy-9-fluoro-D-neuraminic acid was found to be a good substrate of the enzyme with a Km of 6.35 mM as compared to 1.84 mM for N-acetylneuraminic acid.     

Determination in plasma of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor by inhibitor-binding assay

A method of determining a new angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (CS-622) and its active metabolite (RS-5139) in plasma by inhibitor-binding assay has been developed using high-performance liquid chromatography. The assay is based on the principle that the amount of inhibitor bound to the enzyme is inversely related to the amount of hippuric acid liberated on hydrolysis from the artificial substrate (hippuryl- -hystidyl- -leucine). Plasma was heated at 60°C for 15 min, to inactivate endogenous enzyme, and preincubated with rabbit-lung angiotensin-converting enzyme at 37°C for 3 min. The artificial substrate (5.75 mg/ml in pH 8.3 phosphate buffer containing sodium chloride) was added to the resulting solution, and the mixture was incubated for 30 min. The reaction was terminated by the addition of 2 M hydrochloric acid. The hippuric acid liberated on hydrolysis was extracted with ethyl acetate and determined by reversed-phase chromatography using methylparaben as an internal standard. The total concentration of the inhibitor and its metabolite were determined by this method after de-esterification by rat-plasma esterase. The standard curve was obtained by the regression analysis of log concentration against logit response. The within-day and day-to-day precision were satisfactory. The proposed method is simple, rapid and sensitive enough to determine angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor in plasma.     

Simplified cysteine dioxygenase activity assay allows simultaneous quantitation of both substrate and product

A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for enzyme activity assays using a hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) column in combination with an evaporative light scattering detector was developed. The method was used to measure the activity of the non-heme mono-iron enzyme cysteine dioxygenase. The substrate cysteine and the product cysteine sulfinic acid are very weak chromophores, making direct ultraviolet (UV) detection without derivatization rather insensitive; moreover, derivatization of cysteine is often not efficient. Using the system described, underivatized substrate and product in samples from cysteine dioxygenase activity assays could be separated and analyzed. Furthermore, it was possible to quantify cysteic acid, the noncatalytic oxidation product of cysteine sulfinic acid. Acetone was used both to stop the enzymatic reaction by protein precipitation and as an organic mobile phase, making sample preparation very easy and the assay highly reproducible.     

Affinity purification and properties of cathepsin-E-like acid proteinase from rat spleen.

A unique acid proteinase different from cathepsin D was purified from rat spleen by a method involving precipitation at pH 3.5, affinity chromatography on pepstatin-Sepharose 4B and concanavalin A-Sepharose 4B, chromatography on Sephadex G-100 and DEAE-Sephacel, and isoelectric focusing. A purification of 4200-fold over the homogenate was achieved and the yield was 11%. The purified enzyme appeared to be homogeneous on electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels. The isoelectric point of the enzyme was determined to be 4.1-4.4. The enzyme hydrolyzed hemoglobin with a pH optimum of about 3.1. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be about 90000 by gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. In sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the purified enzyme showed a single protein band corresponding to a molecular weight of about 45000. The hydrolysis of bovine hemoglobin by the enzyme was much higher than that of serum albumin. Various synthetic and natural inhibitors of the enzyme were tested. The enzyme was inhbited by Zn2+, Fe3+, Pb2+, cyanide, p-chloromercuribenzoate, iodoacetic acid and pepstatin, whereas 2-mercaptoethanol, phenylmethyl-sulfonyl fluoride and leupeptin showed no effect.

The homogeneity of the enzyme were confirmed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunological studies. The different physico-chemical properties of the enzyme were studied. The molecular weight of the enzyme was found to be 71,000. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid had no effect on the enzyme whereas Hg2+ partially inhibited the enzyme activity. Tryptophan residues were found to be essential for the enzyme activity.

Extraction of acid alpha-glucosidase from human spleen]

An efficient method for isolation of acid alpha-glucosidase from human spleen is developed. The method involves chromatography of the enzyme on rho-aminophenyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside covalently bound to CH-Sepharose 4B, with subsequent gel filtration on Sephadex G-200.
