苦豆子胰蛋白酶抑制剂的分离纯化及性质研究

通过胰蛋白酶偶联的Ｓｅｐｈａｒｏｓｅ４Ｂ亲和柱,从苦豆子种子中分离纯化一种胰蛋白酶抑制剂（ＳＡＴＩ）。该抑制剂在１２％的ＳＤＳ－内烯酰胺胶电泳中显示单一蛋白带,是由一条Ｎ端为丙氨酸的多肽链组成,分子量为１８ｋＤ,等电点为９．３。结果还显示,抑制剂对胰蛋白酶的摩尔抑制比为１：２,用氨基酸修饰法,进一步证明其两个活性中心分别是精氨酸和赖氨酸的残基。抗棉蚜的饲喂试验结果表明,该抑制剂对棉蚜有较强的抗性,     

胰蛋白酶与ANS的相互作用

利用荧光光谱法研究了在不同ｐＨ、压力及不同浓度的脲作用时荧光探针１,８－ＡＮＳ（１－ａｎｉｌｉｏｎｎａｐｈｔｈａｌｅｎｅ－８－ｓｕｌｆｏｎｉｃａｃｉｄ）与胰蛋白酶的相互作用．发现在低ｐＨ时ＡＮＳ可以结合到胰蛋白酶上,其中以ｐＨ２．０、３．０时结合最强．进一步的研究发现脲变性对胰蛋白酶结合ＡＮＳ的能力有很大的影响：１．５ｍｏｌ／Ｌ的脲即可使得胰蛋白酶结合ＡＮＳ的能力大大降低,但有趣的是即使高达４ｍｏｌ／Ｌ的脲对胰蛋白酶色氨酸残基荧光也无明显影响．另外,在ｐＨ猝变、脲变性、及逐渐改变压力时,胰蛋白酶色氨酸残基荧光和结合到胰蛋白酶分子上的ＡＮＳ的荧光的变化大不相同．上述结果暗示胰蛋白酶的色氨酸残基所在的区域和其结合ＡＮＳ的区域是两个不相同的区域．

Purification of a metalloproteinase inhibitor from human rheumatoid synovial fluid.

A metalloproteinase inhibitor present in human rheumatoid synovial fluid was purified by a combination of heparin-Sepharose chromatography, concanavalin A-Sepharose chromatography, ion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration. The Mr of the purified inhibitor was 28000 by SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and 30000 by gel filtration. The inhibitor blocked the activity of the metalloproteinases collagenase, gelatinase and proteoglycanase, but not thermolysin or bacterial collagenase. The serine proteinase trypsin was not inhibited. The inhibitory activity was lost after treatment with trypsin (0.5 micrograms/ml) at 37 degrees C for 30 min, 4-aminophenylmercuric acetate (1 mM) at 37 degrees C for 3 h, after incubation for 30 min at 90 degrees C and by reduction and alkylation. These properties suggest that the inhibitor closely resembles the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases ('TIMP') recently purified from connective-tissue culture medium.

Activation of rat brain adenylate cyclase by proteases: involvement of distinct protein components in the activation by α-chymotrypsin and trypsin

Adenylate cyclase in synaptic plasma membranes from rat brain is activated by α-chymotrypsin or trypsin. These proteases also activate adenylate cyclase reconstituted from the catalytic subunit of adenylate cyclase and the partially purified fraction of the GTP-binding proteins containing both the stimulatory and inhibitory GTP-binding proteins. Properties of the activation of reconstituted adenylate cyclase by the proteases are as follows. (1) The proteases do not directly activate the catalytic subunit. However, the pre-treatment of the partially purified GTP-binding proteins with α-chymotrypsin (100 μg/ml) increases the subsequently reconstituted cyclase activity at least 3-fold. Trypsin (10–30 μg/ml) much more weakly enhances the cyclase activity. (2) α-Chymotrypsin and trypsin synergistically activate the cyclase. (3) Trypsin but not α-chymotrypsin no longer activates the cyclase when the purified stimulatory GTP-binding protein (Gs) replaces the partially purified GTP-binding proteins. (4) The stimulatory effects of α-chymotrypsin and trypsin on the cyclase activity are little or slight unless 5′-guanylylimidodiphosphate (Gpp(NH)p) is present in the reconstitution. (5) The purified βγ-subunits of the GTP-binding proteins markedly inhibit adenylate cyclase. This inhibition is nearly completely attenuated by treating the βα-subunits with α-chymotrypsin (> 10 μg/ml). (6) Trypsin (1–10 μg/ml) inactivates the GTPase of the α-subunit of the inhibitory GTP-binding protein (Gi). This inactivation of the GTPase seems to correlate with the activation of the reconstituted adenylate cyclase by trypsin.We conclude that two distinct protein components are involved in the activation of adenylate cyclase by α-chymotrypsin and trypsin. One component sensitive to α-chymotrypsin is probably the βγ-subunits of the GTP-binding proteins. The other component sensitive to trypsin may be the α-subunit of Gi.     

On the activation of bovine chymotrypsinogen A. Preparation of alanine-neochymotrypsinogen and its activation to alpha-chymotrypsin

Alanine-neochymotrypsinogen was prepared by incubating 20 parts bovine pancreas chymotrypsinogen A with one part alpha-chymotrypsin in a solution containing 1 M (NH4)2SO4, 0.1 M sodium acetate, 0.05 M Tris buffer (pH 8.0) and 0.5 mg/ml soybean trypsin inhibitor. Optimal yields of NH2-terminal alanine were obtained after 60 h incubation at 4 degrees C. Ala-neochymotrypsinogen was isolated from the reaction mixture by affinity chromatography and ion-exchange chromatography on carboxymethyl-cellulose. As expected, the purified preparation was enzymatically inactive and, compared to chymotrypsinogen, had one additional NH2-terminal group identified as alanine. Ala-neochymotrypsinogen was activated by incubating with trypsin at a zymogen : trypsin ratio of 30 : 1 in 0.1 M phosphate buffer, pH 7.6 at 4 degrees C for 1 h. The fully active, stable species was identified as alpha-chymotrypsin.     

Purification of a trypsin inhibitor from sweet potato in an aqueous two phase system

Trypsin inhibitor from sweet potato was extracted and purified in a single step using an aqueous two-phase system of polyethylene glycol 6000 (11% w/v), phosphate (16.5% w/v), KCl (9% w/v) and at pH 6. Purity of the trypsin inhibitor was enhanced 3.7-fold, and the recovery was 95%. The purified trypsin inhibitor showed one visible band, and the molecular size was 23 kDa by SDS-PAGE.     

A major transcriptional regulatory protein (ICP4) of herpes simplex virus type 1 is associated with purified virions

Herpes simplex virus type 1 was purified by density gradient centrifugation, and the virion-associated proteins were resolved by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. By Western blot (immunoblot) analysis with an anti-ICP4 monospecific serum, the results indicated that ICP4, one of the five immediate-early proteins of herpes simplex virus type 1, was associated with the purified virions. To define the location of ICP4 within the virion, trypsin digestion experiments were performed. Purified virions were treated with trypsin in the presence or absence of detergent. The virus envelope appeared to protect ICP4 from the trypsin, since virus-associated ICP4 was sensitive to digestion only after detergent treatment. In addition, ICP4 remained associated with the virus particle when the virion-specific glycoproteins were removed after detergent treatment. Finally, ICP4 was not detected in purified preparations of type A and B capsids isolated from the nuclear fraction of virus-infected cells. The above-mentioned data suggest that detectable amounts of ICP4 are present within the tegument region of the virion.     

Pancreatic proteolytic enzymes of ostrich purified on immobilized protein inhibitors. Characterization of a new form of chymotrypsin (Chtr1)

Four forms of chymotrypsin (Chtr1, Chtr2, Chtr3, Chtr4), one form of trypsin and one form of elastase were purified from a slightly alkaline extract of ostrich (Struthio camelus) pancreas. The zymogens in the crude extract were activated with immobilized trypsin and then separated by affinity chromatography using immobilized inhibitors and ion exchange chromatography. One of the purified forms of chymotrypsin (Chtr1) exhibited an unusual interaction with the highly selective protein trypsin inhibitor from Cucurbita maxima (CMTI). Interactions with other protein trypsin inhibitors such as basic pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI), soybean trypsin inhibitor (STI), trypsin inhibitors from Cyclanthera pedata (CyPTI), Cucurbita pepo (CPTI), Cucurbita pepo var. giramontia (CPGTI) and Linum usitatissimum (LUTI) were also investigated. This study demonstrated the affinity of Chtr1 to inhibitors containing Arg at P1 position. Studies of substrate specificity of Chtr1 using oxidized B-chain of insulin revealed four susceptible bonds: Tyr15-Leu16, Phe24-Phe25, Phe25-Tyr26 and, surprisingly, Arg22-Gly23. The amino acid composition, as well as the first 13 residues of the N-terminal amino acid sequence, was determined. Studies of ostrich elastase showed that it can interact with immobilized CMTI in the presence of 5 M NaCl. This unusual characteristic is reported for the first time and suggests that elastase specificity depends on ionic strength. The kinetic constants K(M), k(cat) and k(cat)/K(M) for purified ostrich trypsin, chymotrypsin 4 and elastase were also determined.     

Isolation of soybean trypsin inhibitors by affinity chromatography on anhydrotrypsin-Sepharose 4B

By repeated treatments of trypsin with phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF), followed by base elimination of PMS from the PMS-trypsin, a catalytically inactive anhydrotrypsin preparation of low (less than 1%) active trypsin content was obtained. Inactive material was removed by affinity chromatography on trypsin inhibitor-Sepharose 4B and the purified anhydrotrypsin with full binding capacity for trypsin inhibitors was coupled to cyanogen bromide-activated Sepharose 4B. When used below its maximum capacity for trypsin inhibitors the anhydrotrypsin-Sepharose-4B affinity column absorbed both classes of inhibitors present in soybean. When overloaded, the Kunitz type was bound preferentially. Based on this observation, conditions for the partial separation of the two types of inhibitors were worked out.     

Activation of Clostridium botulinum type E toxin purified by two different procedures

Clostridium botulinum type E toxin was purified from culture supernates and from cell extracts by two methods. The specific activity [2 X 10(4) mouse LD50 (mg protein)-1] of the toxin purified from cell extract under slightly acidic conditions was lower than that [3 X 10(5) LD50 (mg protein)-1] of the toxin purified from culture supernate under slightly alkaline conditions. Both toxin preparations were activated by trypsin treatment, but to different extents, the degree of activation of the toxin from cell extract being about 30-fold higher than that of the toxin from culture supernate. The two toxin preparations had the same electrophoretic mobility on SDS-polyacrylamide gels and antigenic specificity as revealed by agar gel double-immunodiffusion tests. The antigenic specificity of the two toxin preparations was unaltered by trypsin treatment. In SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, a single band of Mr 144,000 was demonstrated before trypsin treatment and two bands of Mr 100,000 and 55,000 appeared after trypsin treatment. The two toxin preparations were labelled with 125I and chymotryptic peptide maps were obtained before and after trypsin treatment. The two toxin preparations without trypsin treatment demonstrated many differences in their peptide maps, but the preparations after trypsin activation had similar peptide maps. These results indicate that the toxin obtained from culture fluid was a partially activated form, and that its molecular conformation was different from that of the toxin from cell extract. Differences in specific activity and activation ratio by trypsin treatment may be due to differences in the conformation of the toxin molecules.
