Amino acid sequence at the major phosphorylation site on bovine kidney branched-chain 2-oxoacid dehydrogenase complex 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The N-terminal part of native one-chain tissue plasminogen activator from melanoma cells is not homogeneous. The protein chain starts at two different positions, in all probability representing a processing difference in the N-terminus. Both 'long' L-chains and 3-residue shorter S-chains are present in the preparations. In addition, results compatible with a positional Ser/Gly microheterogeneity were obtained at a single position (position L-4 which is equal to S-1). The N-terminal tripeptide difference seems to be coupled to the possible microheterogeneity: L-chains contain Ser in this position, while S-chains appear to contain predominantly Gly. 相似文献

Tissue plasminogen activator was purified in high yield from pig heart by immunoaffinity chromatography and characterized by analysis of the glycosylation pattern and the N-terminal amino acid sequence. Comparisons with the human enzyme reveals residue exchanges in the A-chain at positions 3 (porcine Arg/human Gln) and 5 (Thr/Ile), and in the B-chain at positions 6 (Tyr/Phe), 10 (Thr/Ala) and 20 (Val/Ala). The glycosylation pattern for the porcine activator was determined by endoglycosidase treatment followed by gel electrophoresis. The A-chain contains a single high-mannose type of N-linked glycan structure and the B-chain contains a complex type of oligosaccharide. A similar but not identical pattern has been observed for the human activator, purified from melanoma cells. 相似文献

Comparative electrophoretic analysis of human and porcine plasminogen activators in SDS-polyacrylamide gels containing plasminogen and casein 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Electrophoretic analysis of plasminogen activators from pig heart, human uterus, human plasma and human melanoma cells was performed in SDS-polyacrylamide gradient slab gels containing plasminogen and casein. Direct visualization of activator activity bands in polyacrylamide gels was achieved after removal of SDS, incubation in buffer, and staining with Coomassie brilliant blue. Tissue activator extracted from pig hearts displayed a molecular weight of 72000 and migrated similarly to activator secreted by human melanoma cells and to one activator component present in extracts of human uterus. Immunoadsorption experiments with melanoma cell activator antiserum indicated that these 72-kDa activators are all related immunologically. Human uterus also contained a second activator component with a molecular weight 55000, which migrated similarly to a higher molecular weight component of urokinase and cross-reacted with urokinase antiserum. We conclude that the 72-kDa uterine activator component represents a tissue activator and the 55-kDa component represents a urokinase-like activator. A euglobulin solution from venous occlusion plasma displayed multiple bands of plasmin activity in the Mr range 85000-96000. Two activator components were also present, one of Mr 72000 and another of Mr 62000. The 72-kDa euglobulin activator was adsorbed by MCA antiserum, and we conclude that this component represents vascular activator. The 62000 activator also had weak plasminogen-independent caseinolytic activity and was not affected by either melanoma cell activator or urokinase antisera. Conclusions concerning its identity cannot be made at this time. 相似文献

24 established melanoma cell cultures were screened for their secretion of plasminogen activators and plasminogen activator inhibitors into the culture medium by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by conventional and reverse fibrin autography. Among the cell lines investigated, 22 cell lines predominantly secreting tissue type plasminogen activator (t-PA) and four cell lines additionally secreting urokinase were found. The conditioned media of two cell lines (KRFM and MJZJ) were found to contain plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) activity at a Mr position of approximately 50,000. The PAI of one of the two melanoma cell (MJZJ)-conditioned media found to contain PAI activity was purified to apparent homogeneity employing concanavalin A-Sepharose chromatography, gel filtration on Sephadex G-150, chromatography on Affi-Gel blue, and affinity chromatography on a Sepharose 4B immobilized monoclonal anti-t-PA IgG column. The purified melanoma PAI was found to be a single chain protein, acid stable, immunologically related to the endothelial derived PAI. In contrast to endothelial PAI, melanoma PAI presented itself in the conditioned media of the melanoma cells and in the purified preparation to an appreciable extent in its active form. 相似文献

In a blind, randomized study, two groups, each of seven rabbits, were treated with either a very low dose of human melanoma cell line-derived tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) or isotonic saline. t-PA (0.067 mg/kg of body weight) was administered intraaortically, 20 percent being given as a 30-second "bolus" infusion just prior to the reperfusion of intimectomized central ear arteries and the rest as a continuous infusion during the next 2 hours. Arteriotomic bleeding times, accumulations of 32P-labeled platelets, patency, and sizes of thrombus deposits 2 hours after reperfusion were recorded. To confirm the presence of tissue plasminogen activator in plasma, fibrin-plate lysis assays of arterial plasma were performed immediately before and 1/2 hour and 2 hours after starting drug infusion. Arteriotomic bleeding times were similar in both groups. Transient "oozing" from wound edges occurred in 40 percent of rabbits treated with tissue plasminogen activator. Patency was significantly increased and thrombus deposits were smaller in the tissue plasminogen activator group. Plasma from animals treated with tissue plasminogen activator caused massive lysis of fibrin plates, whereas plasma from control animals caused little or no lysis. Platelet accumulations were very similar in both groups, indicating that occlusive thrombi mainly consisted of other elements than platelets (e.g., fibrin and red cells). Scanning electron microscopy showed normally adhering and aggregating platelets in both groups. This study shows that mild fibrinolytic stimulation with tissue plasminogen activator significantly improves patency in severely traumatized small-caliber arteries and indicates that such treatment may be one approach to prevent thrombosis at microvascular anastomotic sites. 相似文献

A melanoma cell line (Bowes) was found to produce plasminogen activator even on its growing phase, and the rate of plasminogen activator production was rather constant. The production of plasminogen activator was proportional to the cell number. Morphologically, no specific features for plasminogen activator production were seen. Plasminogen activator was observed in the lysate of this cell line only when the cell number was large. The extracellular plasminogen activator activity was higher than the intracellular plasminogen activator activity, suggesting the existence of a secretion mechanism for the plasminogen activator. 相似文献

The sensitive assay method of tissue plasminogen activator was established by an enzyme-immunoassay method, and discriminates tissue (nonurokinase) type plasminogen activator from urokinase. The sensitivity was 0.1 ng/assay tube, and the plasma concentration of tissue plasminogen activator in normal healthy subjects was 1.22 +/- 0.25 ng/ml. Distribution of tissue plasminogen activator was examined in normal tissue. A melanoma cell line was employed as cell culture medium for determination of tissue plasminogen activator. 相似文献

Kinetics of the activation of plasminogen by natural and recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
The kinetics of the activation of plasminogen by tissue-type plasminogen activator were studied in the presence and the absence of CNBr-digested fibrinogen as a soluble cofactor. Michaelis-Menten kinetics applied and the kinetic parameters obtained were very similar to those previously reported for the activation in the presence of solid phase fibrin (Hoylaerts, M., Rijken, D. C., Lijnen, H. R., and Collen, D. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 2912-2919). The affinity of the enzyme for plasminogen dramatically increases in the presence of the soluble cofactor while the catalytic rate constant does not change significantly (KM drops from 83 to 0.18 microM and kcat increases from 0.07 to 0.28 s-1 for tissue-type plasminogen activator of melanoma origin). Fragments containing the lysine-binding sites of plasminogen compete with plasminogen for interaction with CNBr-digested fibrinogen. The dissociation constant of this interaction was found to be 4.5 microM for the high affinity lysine-binding site. No difference was found in the kinetic parameters for the activation of plasminogen by either tissue-type plasminogen activator of melanoma origin or by glycosylated forms of tissue-type plasminogen activator obtained by recombinant DNA technology. The present findings obtained in a homogenous liquid milieu support the previously proposed mechanism of the activation of plasminogen by tissue-type plasminogen activator in the presence of fibrin. This mechanism involves binding of both tissue-type plasminogen activator and plasminogen to fibrin. 相似文献

A procedure was developed for the purification of a plasminogen activator from human uterine tissue. It involves six consecutive steps: (1) extraction of the plasminogen activator from delipidated uterine tissue with 0.3 M potassium acetate buffer, pH 4.2; (2) ammonium sulphate precipitation; (3) zinc chelate-agarose chromatography; (4) n-butyl-agarose chromatography; (5) concanavalin A-agarose chromatography; and (6) gel filtration on Sephadex G-150. The specific activity of the final plasminogen activator preparation was increased by a factor 4500 as compared with the crude extract. The purified plasminogen activator showed a strong tendency to adsorb to surfaces. This could be effectively prevented by Tween-80. The molecular weight of the plasminogen activator was 64 000 as estimated by gel filtration in 1.0 M NaCl and 69 000 as estimated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate. The plasminogen activator consisted of two chains (molecular weights 31 000 and 38 000) connected by disulphide bridges. The smallest chain contained the serine residue of the active site as deduced from the incorporation of the tritium label of [3H]diisopropylphosphofluoridate. 相似文献

Tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) from human melanoma cells (Bowes) was purified by immunosorbent chromatography on affinospecific polyclonal antibodies and gel filtration in the presence of KSCN. The immunosorbent eluate contained three major components of greater than 200, 85 and 65 kDa, respectively. The 65 kDa t-PA component could be separated by gel filtration on Ultrogel AcA44 in the presence of KSCN to a pure preparation yielding a unique N-terminal amino acid sequence. Immunoblot analysis, using affinospecific antibodies against t-PA, was a specific and sensitive method to identify different types of t-PA (I-IV), as well as t-PA-inhibitor complexes and degradation products in unstimulated melanoma cell culture fluids. Furthermore, the t-PA preparations, produced by phorbol ester-treated melanoma cells, were free of type IV and thus differed physiochemically from the constitutively produced t-PA preparations. The composition of t-PA from mammalian cell cultures is thus more complex than hitherto described. 相似文献

Suspension cultures of pluripotent teratocarcinoma cells were induced with sodium butyrate to produce plasminogen activator (PA), generally regarded as a marker enzyme of differentiation of the teratocarcinoma. The induction of plasminogen activator was very efficient, resulting in production of sufficient enzyme to allow its purification. The activator was inactivated by rabbit anti-human melanoma plasminogen activator antiserum, indicating that it was a tissue-type activator (t-PA). The enzyme was purified by column chromatograph on phosphocellulose, zinc-chelate agarose, Con-A Sepharose and Sephadex G-150. The preparation at the final step of purification gave a single peak of enzyme activity at pH 7.3 +/- 0.1 on isoelectric focusing, and showed a molecular weight of approximately 77,000 on SDS PAGE. 相似文献

Skin melanoma is believed to arise from the malignant development of congenital or acquired pigmented nevi under the action of various causative agents. A study of samples of skin melanoma tissues, as well as pigmented nevus tissues that were obtained from patients of both sexes, was carried out using enzymelinked immunosorbent assay. The study included a comparative analysis of activities of plasmin and plasminogen, as well as the activities and concentrations of urokinase type plasminogen activator, tissue-type plasminogen activator, and an inhibitor of plasminogen activator, as well as the levels of a number of growth factors, including vascular endothelial growth factor and its receptor, epidermal growth factor and its receptor, transforming growth factor, fibroblast growth factor, and finally insulin-like growth factors 1 and 2. The data underpin the possibility of malignant transformation of skin nevi and indicate provisional mechanisms of tumorigenesis. These results are useful for the development of preventive and risk evaluation methods for neoplastic transformation. 相似文献

Five out of six human melanoma cell lines tested were able to degrade in vitro a smooth muscle cell extracellular matrix in a plasmin-dependent way. In three of these five cell lines, this process was mediated by tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) and in the other two cell lines by urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA). All melanoma cell lines produced t-PA mRNA and protein, whereas only the two cell lines showing u-PA-mediated matrix degradation produced u-PA mRNA and protein. These latter cell lines also produced plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1) and type-2 (PAI-2) mRNA and protein. u-PA receptor (u-PA-R) mRNA and binding of radiolabeled u-PA was found in all melanoma cell lines. The metastatic capacity of these cell lines was studied in nude mice. All cell lines were able to develop primary tumors at the subcutaneous inoculation site. The production of plasminogen activators, their inhibitors and urokinase receptor by subcutaneous tumors corresponded with the production by the parental cell lines in vitro. The two u-PA and PAI-1 producing cell lines showed the highest frequency to form spontaneous lung metastases after subcutaneous inoculation, whereas five of the six cell lines formed lung colonies after intravenous inoculation. In conclusion, u-PA mediated matrix degradation in vitro and production of u-PA and PAI-1 by human melanoma cell lines correlated with their ability to form spontaneous lung metastasis in nude mice. No correlation was found with the ability to form lung colonies after intravenous injection. These findings suggest a role for u-PA and PAI-1 in a relatively early stage of melanoma metastasis. 相似文献

Active human tissue plasminogen activator secreted from insect cells using a baculovirus vector 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A baculovirus expression vector was constructed with the tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) cDNA under the control of the viral polyhedrin promoter. After infection of insect cells with the recombinant baculovirus, active TPA was secreted into the medium in which these cells were grown. TPA was isolated from the conditioned media using metal chelate affinity chromatography followed by immunoaffinity purification using mouse monoclonal anti-human TPA coupled to Sepharose. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis under reducing conditions and sequence analysis of recombinant human TPA have revealed a two-chain form of the enzyme. The N-terminal amino acid was identified to be serine, indicating that it was processed at its N-terminus by the insect cell culture in a manner similar to that observed for mammalian cells. The relative specific activity of recombinant TPA from insect cells is comparable to that of Bowes melanoma TPA standard. Its activity is stimulated in the presence of fibrinogen fragments, but by a factor about 2.3-fold lower than the Bowes melanoma TPA. The apparent molecular weight of recombinant TPA from insect cells was about 60K by fibrin agar activity gels, suggesting less complex glycosylation than recombinant TPA from mammalian cells. 相似文献

As plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), the physiological inhibitor of tissue-type plasminogen activator, is considered to be an important risk factor in several (patho)physiological conditions, many research activities focus on attempts to inhibit this serpin. The approach illustrated in the current study focuses on elucidating important interaction sites allowing the inhibition of PAI-1. Since monoclonal antibodies are in most cases not ideal for therapeutic use, the question of whether smaller molecules exert comparable effects is a hot issue. To answer this question, Cys residues were introduced in PAI-1 at positions previously identified as determining the epitope of a PAI-1-inhibiting antibody, MA-8H9D4, resulting in PAI-1-R300C, PAI-1-Q303C, and PAI-1-D305C. Subsequently, low molecular mass sulfhydryl-specific reagents (i.e. BODIPY 530/550 IA (molecular mass 626 Da) and BODIPY FL C(1)-IA (molecular mass 417 Da)) were allowed to react covalently with the cysteine. The functional distribution (inhibitory versus substrate) toward tissue-type plasminogen activator was determined for the labeled and the unlabeled samples. Labeling at position 300 leads to a 1.7- and 2.2-fold increase in SI value for BODIPY 530/550 IA and BODIPY FL C(1)-IA, respectively. Labeling at position 303 results in a 3.3- and 1.9-fold increase of the SI value for the large and the small label, respectively. At position 305, the SI values are 3.1-fold increased for both labels. The effect (on SI and on serpin activity) of the manipulations at these positions is in good agreement with the effect exerted by MA-8H9D4. In conclusion, our study provides proof of concept for the proposed approach in evaluating whether targeting a functional epitope with a small synthetic compound may be a feasible strategy in rational drug design. 相似文献

Seeds of the legume Erythrina latissima contain a 20,000-dalton, single-chain protein that has been shown to inhibit the amidolytic activity of trypsin and tissue plasminogen activator. It had no comparable effect on urokinase. IC50 values of 1.1 X 10(-7) M for tissue plasminogen activator and 6.9 X 10(-10) M for trypsin were determined by titration. When coupled to agarose, the Erythrina inhibitor provided an effective reagent for affinity purification of tissue plasminogen activator from melanoma cell-conditioned tissue culture medium. Using this as a single-step procedure, 270-fold purified enzyme was reproducibly obtained with yields of 90% or greater. Both one- and two-chain forms of tissue plasminogen activator were purified. The enzyme migrated, in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, as a predominant 72,000-dalton doublet with lesser amounts of immunochemically similar, 115,000- and 68,000-dalton components. 相似文献

The production of distinct forms of plasminogen activator by mouse embryonic cells 总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18
We have examined cultured parietal endoderm, visceral endoderm, and extraembryonic mesoderm cells from the mouse embryo for production of the protease plasminogen activator. All of these cell types synthesize and secrete the enzyme, but the molecular characteristics of the plasminogen activators differ as defined by the apparent molecular weight in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels, the antigenic properties as defined by two antisera to distinct plasminogen activators, and the interaction with an inhibitor present in fetal bovine serum. The parietal endoderm plasminogen activator has a predominant molecular weight of 79,000, is immunoprecipitated and inhibited by an antiserum raised against a human melanoma plasminogen activator, but not by an antiserum against mouse urokinase, and is only partially inhibited by the serum inhibitor. The visceral endoderm and extraembryonic mesoderm plasminogen activators, which are identical by all criteria, have molecular weights of 48,000, are inactivated only by the anti-urokinase antibodies, and are inhibited by an inhibitor in fetal bovine serum. These results establish the presence of at least two different forms of plasminogen activator in the early mouse embryo. The distinctive nature of the enzyme produced by parietal endoderm can be used as a diagnostic marker for this cell type at this stage of development. When F9 teratocarcinoma stem cells are induced to differentiate by retinoic acid and dibutyryl cAMP, they secrete a plasminogen activator of the parietal endoderm type. 相似文献

The stimulation of normal human melanocyte proliferation in vitro by melanocyte growth factor from bovine brain 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
L Wilkins B A Gilchrest G Szabo R Weinstein T Maciag 《Journal of cellular physiology》1985,122(3):350-361
Cell culture conditions for the selective growth and serial propagation of normal human melanocytes from epidermal tissue are described. In addition to the presence of 2% fetal bovine serum, the human melanocyte cell culture environment contains the following growth factor supplements: epidermal growth factor (10 ng/ml), triiodothyronine (10(-9) M), hydrocortisone, (5 X 10(-5) M), insulin (10 micrograms/ml), transferrin (10 micrograms/ml), 7S nerve growth factor (100 ng/ml) cholera toxin (10(-10) M), and bovine brain extract (150 micrograms/ml). The ability to establish selectively the human melanocyte in vitro has been attributed to the contrast between human epidermal keratinocytes and melanocytes for attachment to fibronectin, while the growth of the human melanocyte has been attributed to the mitogenic activity of the growth factor-supplemented medium. Human melanocytes can be cultivated for at least 15 cumulative population doublings and are capable of [3H]-Dopa incorporation. The growth factor-supplemented medium contains a neutral extract from bovine brain that is a potent source of a human melanocyte mitogen. The biological activity of melanocyte growth factor is described as a heat and alkaline-labile mitogen with an estimated molecular weight of 30,000 by gel exclusion chromatography and a weakly cationic isoelectric point. The mitogen is capable of stimulating the growth of quiescent populations of human melanocytes in vitro. The ability to isolate and propagate normal human melanocytes in vitro permitted an examination of the expression of fibronectin and tissue plasminogen activator. Human epidermal melanocytes established in culture do not contain either tissue plasminogen activator or fibronectin. In contrast, human melanoma cell lines contain immunologically detectable fibronectin and tissue plasminogen activator. The absence of tissue plasminogen activator and fibronectin in normal human melanocytes also occurs under conditions of co-cultivation with human melanoma cells. These contrasts between normal human melanocytes and human melanoma cells may be relevant to the metastatic capabilities of human melanoma. 相似文献

The activation of plasminogen by two novel hybrid enzymes, constructed from the A-chain of plasmin and the B-chains of tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) or urokinase, was compared with the activation by the parent enzymes. Basal kinetic constants for 'Lys-plasminogen' (human plasminogen with N-terminal lysine) and 'Glu-plasminogen' (human plasminogen with N-terminal glutamic acid) activation were similar to those of the parent activators. The Km for plasminogen turnover for both hybrid enzymes was considerably decreased in the presence of both soluble fibrin and a mimic, a CNBr digest of fibrinogen. These enhancements and the related apparent negative co-operativity are similar to the behaviour of t-PA itself. The results are discussed with regard to the molecular features involved in the mechanism of fibrin stimulation. 相似文献
