A neutral proteinase secreted by rabbit synovial fibroblasts in parallel with specific collagenase was partially purified by ion-exchange chromatography. At pH 7.6 this proteinase degraded 35S-labelled bovine nasal proteoglycan and azo-casein. The enzymic activity was inhibited by EDTA, 1,10-phenanthroline and serum, whereas di-isopropyl phosphorofluoridate and soya-bean trypsin inhibitor had little effect. By gel filtration the apparent mol.wt. of the enzyme was 25000. The fibroblast neutral proteinase was compared with the proteoglycan-degrading neutral proteinases of rabbit polymorphonuclear-leucocyte granules. Two distinct activities were found in the granules: one was inhibited by soya-bean trypsin inhibitor and the other by EDTA. The proteoglycan-degrading proteinases of rabbit fibroblasts and polymorphonuclear leucocytes at acid pH also were examined. Both cathepsin D and a thiol-dependent proteinase contributed to the degradation of proteoglycan at pH 4.5. 相似文献

Culture medium from rabbit uterine cervical fibroblasts contained a procollagenase and a neutral proproteinase which acts as a procollagenase activator. These two proenzymes have been purified by a combination of ion-exchange, affinity and gel chromatographies. The purified neutral proproteinase showed Mr 60,000 with sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. This neutral proproteinase was activated by trypsin, 4-aminophenylmercuric acetate (APMA) and plasmin, and the active species of the proteinase had Mr 53,000 when activated by APMA; kallikrein and urokinase did not activate this proproteinase. The purified neutral proteinase was inhibited by EDTA, 1,10-phenanthroline and rabbit plasma, but not by serine proteinase inhibitors, suggesting that this proteinase is a metal-dependent proteinase. The purified enzyme could also degrade gelatin, casein, proteoglycan and type IV procollagen. The purified procollagenase had Mr 55,000 and was activated by trypsin, APMA and the active neutral proteinase. These activations were accompanied by decrease in Mr, and the activated species had an Mr which was approx. 10,000 less than that of the procollagenase. In particular, procollagenase activation with neutral proteinase depended on incubation time and proteolytic activity of proteinase. These results indicate that activation of procollagenase by the rabbit uterine neutral proteinase is related to limited proteolysis in the procollagenase molecule. 相似文献

PROTEIN DEGRADATION IN SQUID GIANT AXONS 总被引:6,自引:4,他引:2

Axoplasm extruded from giant axons of the Chilean squid, Dosidicus gigas, contained a low level of neutral proteinase-like activity, equivalent to 4 × 10?6 mg of chymotrypsin per mg of axoplasmic protein. The enzyme was active at physiological pH and ionic strength. Activity was completely inhibited by 1 mM-para-hydroxymercuribenzoate and was enhanced by divalent metal cations, especially Ca2+. Axoplasm also exhibited proteinase activity at pH 4.8. Both neutral and acid proteinase like activities were also present in the axonal sheath containing Schwann cells, but their specific activities relative to those in the axoplasm were different. A physiological role, related to the axoplasmic flow of protein, is discussed for the axoplasmic neutral proteinase-like activity. 相似文献

Some experiments were carried out with purified neutral proteinases I and II of Aspergillus sojae in relation to their characteristics as metalloenzyme.The both enzymes contained one gram atom of zinc and about two gram atoms of calcium per mole (molecular weights of 41,700 for I and 19,800 for II were estimated by gel filtration) of enzyme protein, and the zinc was essential for the activity. Some metal-chelating agents, such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), o-phenanthroline, 8-hydroxyquinoline and α,α′-dipyridyl, inhibited the activity of the both enzymes. In the inactivation of neutral proteinase II by EDTA a distinct pH-dependency was observed. The EDTA-inactivated enzymes were reactivated fully or partially by the addition of some metal ions such as Zn2+, Co2+, Mn2+, Cu2+ (only neutral proteinase II) and Ni2+. Zinc-free apo-enzymes were prepared from the native enzymes by the dialysis against EDTA solution. The apo-enzyme of neutral proteinase I still contained calcium, while that of neutral proteinase II did not. The apo-enzymes restored their activity for the most part either by the addition of excess amount of zinc or by mixing with a stoichiometric amount of zinc in the presence of calcium at an alkaline condition. 相似文献

A cysteine metalloproteinase that degrades 125I-insulin B chain at neutral pH values was isolated from C3H mouse liver. The enzyme was partially purified from the 100,000g supernatant fraction by ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE-cellulose chromatography, and fast protein liquid chromatography. The molecular weight of the proteinase was estimated to be 190,000 by gel filtration on Sephadex G-200. Degradation of 125I-insulin B chain by the proteinase was inhibited by p-hydroxymercuribenzoate (PHMB) and iodoacetate (cysteine proteinase inhibitors) and by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and 1,10-phenanthroline (metalloproteinase inhibitors). The proteinase also degraded 125I-glucagon but did not hydrolyze 125I-insulin, leucine-2-naphthylamide, or several large proteins. Equivalent levels of EDTA- and PHMB-inhibitable 125I-insulin B chain-degrading activity were observed in the 100,000g supernatant fractions of brain, liver, lung, kidney, heart, and spleen from four mouse strains (C3H/HeN, CBA/J, ICR, and C57BL/6). High levels of 125I-insulin B chain-degrading activity were found in the particulate fraction of kidneys and lungs from these four mouse strains; these activities were inhibited by EDTA but not by PHMB. The activity of the soluble liver cysteine metalloproteinase was not altered in C3H mice treated ip with metal chelators, bacterial endotoxin, phenobarbital, dexamethasone, or insulin. Starvation for 24 or 48 hr and alloxan-induced diabetes diminished total activity of this enzyme in liver by about 50 and 30%, respectively. This soluble polypeptide-degrading enzyme appears to be ubiquitous in mice and to be regulated by nutritional conditions. 相似文献

1. Two new assay methods were developed for the lens proteinase. In both, the substrate was alpha2-crystallin (a major lens protein); in the first method, the products were detected by reaction with trinitrobenzenesulphonate in the presence of SO32-, whereas in the second method, 3H-labelled substrate was used, and the products were detected as radioactivity soluble in trichloroacetic acid. 2. The neutral proteinase from bovine lens was partially purified by extraction of the lens at pH5.0 and column chromatography on hydroxyapatite and Sepharose 6B gel. 3. The purified enzyme had no detectable activity against haemoglobin, azo-casein or gamma-crystallin under optimum conditions for alpha2-crystallin. 4. The enzyme showed greatest activity and stability at pH7.5. It was reversibly inhibited by EDTA and 1,10-phenanthroline, and activated by Ca2+ and Mg2+. 5. Molecular weights obtained for the enzyme by chromatography on Sepharose 6B were approx. 500,000 in buffer of I = 0.02, and 250,000 at I = 1.02. 6. The properties of the purified lens proteinase are such as to suggest that this enzyme could account for the entire endopeptidase activity of the lens. 相似文献

Activities of proteolytic enzymes were detected in rat and human urine by using [125 l] iodo-insulin B chain as a substrate. The pH optimum of human urine activity was in the acidic range (pH 2.0) whereas the rat urine had two pH optima, one at the acidic range similar to human urine and another at pH 7.5. The activities were linear with time and amount of enzyme. Study with various proteinase inhibitors revealed that the acidic pH activities of human and rat urine were apparently of carboxyl endopeptidases since they were totally inhibited by pepstatin 10-8M. The neutral pH proteolysis of rat urine was inhibited by chelating agents and therefore it was considered as a metalloendopeptidase activity. These findings show the difference between the content of urinary proteolytic enzymes in humans and in rats by using a sensitive and simple radioactive assay. 相似文献

A neutral proteinase, capable of degrading gelatin, has been found in both an active and a latent form in the medium from the culture of rat mesangial cells. The latent form had an Mr of 80,000-100,000 and could be activated with either 4-aminophenylmercuric acetate or prolonged incubation at neutral pH. The active form of the enzyme was extensively purified. The estimated Mr of the purified enzyme on gel filtration was approximately 200,000, indicating that the active enzyme formed aggregates. However, analysis by SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis under reducing conditions showed two protein bands, with Mr 68,000 and 66,000. Both proteins were found to contain proteolytic activity when run on SDS/substrate gels. The enzyme was inhibited by EDTA and 1,10-phenanthroline, but not by inhibitors for cysteine, serine or aspartic proteinases. The enzyme did not digest fibronectin, bovine serum albumin, proteoglycan or interstitial collagen. The enzyme degraded pepsin-solubilized placental type V collagen at 31 degrees C, whereas similarly solubilized type IV collagen was only degraded at higher temperatures. In addition, the neutral proteinase degraded native soluble type IV collagen. It also had activity on insoluble type IV collagen of glomerular basement membrane. The above properties suggest that the mesangial neutral proteinase belongs to the gelatinase group of metalloproteinases and that it may play a role in the normal turnover of extracellular glomerular matrix. 相似文献

Rabbit synovial fibroblasts induced to undergo a specific switch in gene expression by agents that alter cell morphology secreted the neutral proteinase precursor procollagenase (apparent Mr of 53,000 and 57,000). A major Mr = 51,000 polypeptide that was always induced coordinately with procollagenase has now been identified as the proenzyme form of a metal-dependent proteinase active at neutral pH. We have named this proteinase stromelysin. Prostromelysin and procollagenase were the most prominent [35S]methionine-labeled secreted proteins of the induced fibroblasts. By the use of casein degradation as an assay for enzyme activity, stromelysin was isolated with high yield from the conditioned culture medium of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate-treated fibroblasts and migrated as an active form of Mr = 21,000 that was immunologically identical to the proteoglycan-degrading proteinase purified from rabbit bone. Immunoglobulin G from antiserum raised to purified rabbit bone proteoglycanase immunoprecipitated the Mr = 51,000 proenzyme form from conditioned medium of induced rabbit cells and also immunoprecipitated an Mr = 55,000 polypeptide from induced human fibroblasts. When rabbit prostromelysin was activated by trypsin or 4-aminophenylmercuric acetate, the proenzyme was converted to an active form of Mr = 41,000. During the course of the purification, prostromelysin was converted to an additional activatable form of Mr = 35,000 and additional active forms of Mr = 21,000-25,000, which had related peptide maps distinct from collagenase. All of these forms were immunologically cross-reactive. Purified stromelysin degraded casein, cartilage proteoglycans, fibronectin, alpha 1-proteinase inhibitor, and immunoglobulin G2a and had limited activity on laminin, elastin, type IV collagen, and gelatin, but did not degrade type I collagen. Stromelysin was inhibited by EDTA, 1,10-phenanthroline, and the specific glycoprotein tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases isolated from human amniotic fluid and was therefore classified as a metalloproteinase. 相似文献

A supernatant fraction was prepared from rat uterine myometrium by homogenization, sonication and centrifugation. In this supernatant the protein concentration and the activities of an acid proteinase, an acid phosphatase and a proteinase inhibitor were measured. From the fibrous sediment, after washing with 0.5% Triton X-100 and with water, an actomyosin-containing solution was obtained by extraction with 0.6M-NaCl, and in this extract the protein concentration and a neutral proteinase activity were measured. The myometrial wet weight and the activities of the acid proteinase, acid phosphatase and proteinase inhibitor increased by factors of 3-15 during pregnancy and decreased to the same or a greater extent during involution. The amount of protein extracted with 0.6M-NaCl increased by a factor of only 2.3 and the neutral proteinase activity remained essentially constant during pregnancy and involution. The pH optimum of the neutral proteinase, and its pattern of activity compared with those of the lysosomal enzymes, show that the neutral proteinase is not of lysosomal origin. Actomyosin is degraded by the neutral proteinase activity in vitro. Since actomyosin is rapidly broken down only after parturition, the action of the neutral proteinase activity on actomyosin, if this occurs in vivo, must be regulated in some way. The proteinase-inhibitor activity measured in the first supernatant varied in a manner which suggested that it could be involved in this control. 相似文献

The subunits of human placental milli calcium activated neutral proteinase and micro calcium activated neutral proteinase
have been separated by partial denaturation with urea followed by molecular sieving, with a recovery of 82–91% of activity.
The separated subunits were homogeneous, as judged by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Their molecular
sizes, catalytic activities and sulphydryl contents suggest that both the subunits of these two calcium activated neutral
proteinases are distinct. The subunits were highly specific and could not be interchanged. Both the subunits of micro calcium
activated neutral proteinase were catalytically active whereas only the 80 k subunit of milli calcium activated neutral proteinase
was active. 30 k subunit of milli calcium activated neutral proteinase has a regulatory role since maximum activity of the
80 k subunit was elicited only in its presence. Activity of the reassociated subunits indicated that interaction is essential
for the expression of optimum activity. Interaction of subunits rendered the enzymes less susceptible to inhibition by endogenous
calcium activated neutral proteinase inhibitor. 相似文献

Granule and post-granular-supernatant fractions were obtained from pig leucocyte cells by differential centrifugation in 0.34 M sucrose. Granule extract possesses proteinase activity at acid and at neutral pH. Three groups of neutral and a group of acid proteinases were isolated from granule extracts by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. In the first group are present elastase-like and plasminogen-activator proteinases, that are inhibited by diisopropylphosphorofluoridate, alpha1-antitrypsin, intracellular leucocyte inhibitor and partly with p-aminomethylbenzoic acid and Trasylol. The second group of neutral proteinases is unstable under the conditions of isolation used the third group of neutral proteinases comprises collagenases that are inhibited by ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid disodium salt, alpha1-antitrypsin and leucocyte inhibitor. The acid proteinases are inhibited only with pepstatin, up to 90%. In the post-granular supernatant was found the acid proteinase activity towards hemoglobin and casein, and non-stable neutral proteolytic activity towards bovine serum albumin and serum gamma globulin. In the post-granular supernatant also the inhibitors of neutral proteinases were found. By gel filtration on Sephadex G-100 and ion-exchange chromatography on CM-cellulose two inhibitors of neutral proteinases were isolated. The majority of the inhibitor capacity (about 80%) of post-granular supernatant was eluted together with ovalbumin (Mr 43000) and the remainder with cytochrome c (12300). These inhibitors inhibit the granule neutral proteinases, acting on all substrates used, but do not inhibit granule acid proteinase. Inhibition effects of post-granular-supernatant inhibitors on trypsin and chymotrypsin were obtained only when bovine serum albumin was used as substrate. Inhibitors of post-granular supernatant are stable at pH 6-8, but unstable in the pH rnage 2-5 and are thermolabile. 相似文献

T. COOLBEAR, C.W. EAMES, Y. CASEY, R.M. DANIEL AND H.W. MORGAN. 1991. Forty-one strains isolated from thermal areas in New Zealand, Fiji and Antarctica were shown to be extremely thermophilic Bacillus spp. (growth optima > 65. C) by comparison with reference strains with a series of standard tests. Some morphological and physiological variation between strains was noted. Various assay procedures were employed to assess the strains for their ability to produce extracellular proteolytic activity. The strain EA. 1 gave the highest yield of proteolytic activity under the conditions imposed. A second strain, OK3A.1, also gave high yields of activity but differed from the EA.1 activity in that it was more tolerant to both high pH and EDTA. The proteinases from these two strains were purified and characterized. Maximum activity was given by EA.1 proteinase over a narrow pH range with an optimum at pH 6.7 and 50% activity limits at pH 5.6 and 7.5. OK3A.1 had a similar pH optimum but was active over a broader range with 50% activity limits at pH 5.2 and 8.5. Both enzymes were endo-acting proteinases; neither showed activity against two small synthetic peptides. By SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis the molecular masses for EA.1 proteinase and OK3A.1 proteinase were 42 000 Da and 32 000 Da respectively. Both enzymes were resistant to 10 mmol/1 phenylmethylsulphonylfluoride and iodoacetic acid, but were deactivated by EDTA. Whereas EA.1 proteinase was inhibited by o -phenanthroline and activated by zinc ions, OK3A.1 proteinase was unaffected by either agent although some dependence on divalent metal ions for activity was apparent. The enzymes were stabilized by calcium ions, EA.1 proteinase exhibiting a half-life of 2 h at 85.C whilst OK3A.1 proteinase was less stable with a half-life of 40 min at this temperature. 相似文献

An extracellular metalloproteinase from Crithidia guilhermei, a monoxenic trypanosomatid of insects, was purified 11-fold by ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel filtration on a Shinpack Diol-150 column, and anion-exchange chromatography in a MONO Q column, both using the HPLC system. The proteinase appeared as a single band with an apparent molecular mass of 62 kDa in SDS-PAGE, under reducing conditions, and was optimally active at 37 degrees C and pH 6.0. The enzyme showed 62% residual activity at 50 degrees C for 30 min. The proteinase was completely inhibited by 1, 10-phenanthroline, indicating that the enzyme belongs to the metalloproteinase class. This is the first report of the purification of an extracellular metalloproteinase from the Crithidia species. The possible role of this enzyme in the digestive tract of the insect host is discussed. 相似文献

An endogenous inhibitor of calcium activated neutral proteinase has been purified from human placenta. The procedure included
chromatography on DEAE cellulose, Ultrogel AcA 22 and milli calcium activated neutral proteinase-sepharose in succession.
Endogenous calcium activated neutral proteinase inhibitor was a tetramer with identical subunits of molecular weight 68 kDa.
It was specific for milli calcium activated neutral proteinase (Calpain II) which is inhibited by the formation of an inactive
enzyme-inhibitor complex and not by sequestering Ca2+ from the medium. Although micro calcium activated neutral proteinase (Calpain I) was not inhibited by endogenous calcium
activated neutral proteinase inhibitor, it was protected from autolysis in the presence of the inhibitor. The placental endogenous
calcium activated neutral proteinase inhibitor thus regulates Ca2+ activated proteolysis by ensuring micro calcium activated neutral proteinase activity, while inhibiting milli calcium activated
neutral proteinase. 相似文献

We have purified and characterized a neutral proteinase activity from pig uterine myometrium. The proteinase co-purified with the actomyosin complex and could only be separated from it by a high concentration of a chaotropic ion, 3M-NaBr. The proteinase was further purified by gel filtration and affinity chromatography. The purified protein showed a single band on sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis corresponding to an Mr of 28 000. Gel filtration on Sephadex G-100 in a buffer containing 3M-NaBr gave an Mr of 27 500. Without the addition of the chaotropic Br- ion, the proteinase aggregates to high-Mr forms of more than 10(6)Da. The proteinase has optimum hydrolytic activity with casein as substrate at pH 7.5-8.0. The thiol-group-blocking reagents p-chloromercuribenzoate, p-chloromercuribenzenesulphonate and Hg2+, as well as soya-bean trypsin inhibitor and 4-aminobenzamidine, inhibited the proteinase. Other bivalent cations, chelating agents and the serine-specific reagents 7-amino-1-chloro-3-tosylamido-L-heptan-2-one and phenylmethanesulphonyl fluoride were without any effect on proteinase activity. The proteinase degraded myosin very rapidly at a molar ratio of proteinase to myosin of 1:50, concomitant with the rate of loss of the ATPase activity. Compared with myosin, actin was only a poor substrate and was degraded at a much lower rate, even at a high molar ratio of the proteinase to actin. 相似文献

Methods were developed to determine proteinase activity in germinating seeds of Scots pine. The assays were based on the liberation of TCA-soluble peptides from haemoglobin at pH 3.7 and from casein at pH 5.4 and pH 7.0; the reaction products were determined by the Lowry method. — Endosperms separated from seeds at the time of rapid storage protein mobilization (seedling length between 20 and 50 mm) showed high proteinase activities in all three assays. Experiments with different inhibitors suggested that at least four enzymes were involved. One of the enzymes resembled mammalian and microbial pepsin-like acid proteinases: the pH optimum was 3.7 and the enzyme was inhibited by pepstatin.—The proteinase activities in the endosperms were high enough to account for the mobilization of the reserve proteins during germination. Moreover the activities at pH 3.7.5.4. and 7.0 in the endosperms were 10-, 25-, and 50-fold the corresponding activities in the growing seedlings (a “reference” tissue). Consequently, it seems that both the acid and neutral proteinases take part in the mobilization of storage proteins in the germinating seed. 相似文献

The mitoplasts were prepared from bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana) liver mitochondria by treatment with digitonin and were then separated into the matrix and inner membrane fractions. The matrix fraction thus obtained was free of lysosomal contaminations and exhibited a distinct proteinase activity. pH dependency of the matrix proteinase activity measured in the presence and absence of iodoacetamide revealed that the matrix contained at least two kinds of proteinase, a major alkaline thiol proteinase having an optimal pH at 8.5 and a minor neutral proteinase having an optimal pH at 7.5. The major matrix proteinase activity was strongly inhibited by leupeptin, chymostatin, antipain and E64-C, an inhibitor of Ca2+-dependent thiol proteinase, while it was scarcely affected by diethylpyrocarbonate. The activity was also inhibited by DTNB and p-chloromercuribenzoate. Addition of hydrocarbon compounds such as ethylene glycol, glycerol, Triton X-100 and poly (ethylene glycol) to the reaction mixture was found to decrease the matrix proteinase activity. Neither cytochrome c nor glutamate dehydrogenase was hydrolyzed when subjected to the matrix proteinase activity in vitro. On the other hand, cytochrome c oxidase was effectively hydrolyzed, and the enzyme associated with the mitochondrial innermembrane fragments was partially hydrolyzed by the major matrix proteinase activity. 相似文献
