The calcification process that occurs in aging has been studied with the electron microscope in costal and tracheal cartilage of rats and in human costal cartilage. In these tissues, the early stage of the calcification process is induced and regulated by matrix vesicles in the same way as it occurs in epiphyseal cartilage, bone, and dentine. However, the spreading of inorganic substance from vesicles into the surrounding matrix is frequently impaired in aged cartilage, either because of a too low concentration of calcium ions, or because the structure of the cartilage matrix is not suitable for inorganic substance deposition. This shows that matrix vesicles have a calcium affinity and calcium-binding potentiality greater than that of other components of the cartilage matrix. Most matrix vesicles are produced by "Verd?mmerung der Zellen." This degenerative process of the chondrocytes leads also to the formation of pericellular halos consisting of aggregates of amorphous substance and thin filaments. Part of the material that forms these aggregates seems to be produced by disruption of matrix vesicles. Within this disruptive material, thick collagen fibrils can be formed. Moreover, this material seems capable of inducing calcification. These findings suggest that matrix vesicles, by releasing their content into the matrix, can be involved in some way in collagen formation, and that the released material maintains the calcium affinity and calcium-binding property it has within the vesicles. 相似文献

About 5 mumol CaPPi/mg protein was deposited within 3 h in the presence of the reaction mixtures containing 1 mM ATP, 2 mM Ca2+, 1 mM Pi, and 17 micrograms of purified NTP pyrophosphohydrolase. At 1 mM ATP, 50% of the deposition was inhibited by 0.5-1 mM of various substrate and product analogues including AMP, ADP, and ethylene hydroxyl diphosphonate. The magnitude of inhibition on NTP pyrophosphohydrolase activity was in the order of AMP = CMP = ADP greater than adenosine greater than adenine greater than NAD = NADP. AMP, CMP, ADP, and adenosine are competitive inhibitors. The modes of inhibition by adenine, NAD, and NADP differ from the competitive inhibition. Ribose, 3'-AMP, 2'-AMP, and cAMP did not inhibit the enzyme activity. 相似文献

The structurally related type XII-like collagen molecules TL-A and TL-B were recently identified in fetal bovine epiphyseal cartilage and subsequently shown to be collagen types XII and XIV, respectively. By indirect immunofluorescent staining of cartilage using monoclonal antibodies to the NC3 domains of each molecule, it was shown that type XII collagen was present predominantly around cartilage canals, the articular surface, subperichondrial margins, and the perichondrium, was less so in the remaining cartilage matrix, and was absent from the growth plate region. In the permanent cartilage of trachea, type XII stained somewhat more intensely in the margins beneath the loose connective tissue. Type XIV collagen localized more uniformly throughout the articular cartilage and was also absent from the growth plate region, whereas in tracheal cartilage, its distribution was similar to type XII. We have characterized the structure of these cartilage molecules and compared them with those from fetal bovine skin. Extraction of cartilage with 1 M NaCl and differential NaCl precipitation yields a fraction enriched for these two collagens. Analysis by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting with monoclonal antibodies to the large amino-terminal non-triple-helical domain, NC3, revealed the presence in cartilage of two forms of type XII collagen: type XIIB, the molecule previously identified in chick and bovine tissues, and type XIIA, a much larger form equivalent to the molecule recently identified in WISH-transformed epithelial cell culture medium (Lunstrum, G. P., McDonough, A. M., Marinkovich, M. P., Keene, D. R., Morris, N. P., and Burgeson, R. E. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 20087-20092). Digestion with bacterial collagenase shows that the increased mass is present in the NC3A domain. Additional purification by velocity sedimentation and observation of rotary-shadowed images demonstrates molecules with extended non-triple-helical arms approximately 80 nm in length analogous to the WISH cell molecules. Electrophoretic mobilities of bands corresponding to type XIIA, but not type XIIB, are sensitive to chondroitinase ABC, indicating that type XIIA is a chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan and that modification occurs predominantly within the NC3A domain distal to NC3B. Neither type XIIB from skin nor type XIIA from WISH cells are chondroitinase-sensitive. By similar analysis, a portion of the type XIV collagen chains in cartilage was also sensitive to chondroitinase digestion. Chondroitin sulfate is apparently not located on its NC3 domain. As in skin, collagen types XII and XIV have subtly different distributions within cartilage and type XII may have a tissue-specific structure. 相似文献

Alkaline phosphatase of matrix vesicles isolated from fetal bovine epiphyseal cartilage was purified to apparent homogeneity using monoclonal antibody affinity chromatography. The enzyme from the butanol extract of matrix vesicles bound specifically to the immobilized antibody-Sepharose in the presence of 2% Tween 20 whereas the major portion of nonspecific protein was removed by this single step. Of various agents tested, 0.6 M 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol, pH 10.2, was the most effective in eluting 80-100% of the enzyme initially applied. Both Tween 20 and 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol associated with the eluted enzyme were effectively removed by the sequential application of DEAE-cellulose and Sepharose CL-6B chromatography. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the enzyme preparation treated with sodium dodecyl sulfate and mercaptoethanol showed the presence of a dominant band (using silver staining) corresponding to a molecular weight of 81,000. This molecular weight was nearer reported values for rat liver (Ohkubo, A., Langerman, N., and Kaplan, M. M. (1974) J. Biol Chem. 249, 7174-7180) and porcine kidney (Cathala, G., Brunel, C., Chapplet-Tordo, D., and Lazdunski, M. (1975) J. Biol. Chem. 250, 6040-6045) alkaline phosphatase, than to previously reported values for chicken (Cyboron, G. W., and Wuthier, R. E. (1981) J. Biol. Chem. 256, 7262-7268) and fetal calf (Fortuna, R., Anderson, H. C., Carty, R. P., and Sajdera, S. W. (1980) Calcif. Tissue Int. 30, 217-225) cartilage matrix vesicle alkaline phosphatase. The purified alkaline phosphatase was activated by micromolar Mg2+. The amino acid composition of cartilage alkaline phosphatase was found to be similar to that previously described for porcine kidney (Wachsmuth, E. D., and Hiwada, K. (1974) Biochem. J. 141, 273-282). Double immunoprecipitation data indicated that monoclonal antibody against cartilage alkaline phosphatase cross-reacted with fetal bovine liver or kidney enzyme but failed to react with calf intestinal or rat cartilage enzyme. Thus these observations suggest that alkaline phosphatase of matrix vesicles from calcifying epiphyseal cartilage is a liver-kidney-bone isozyme. 相似文献

Proteoglycans were extracted from bovine tracheal cartilage by high-speed homogenization, the use of dissociative solvents being avoided. The homogenate was fractionated by gel chromatography, sucrose-density-gradient centrifugation and ion-exchange chromatography. A previously unrecognized protein, cartilage matrix protein, was identified by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. It cofractionated with the proteoglycans in all systems, indicating an interaction. The cartilage matrix protein-proteoglycan complex was dissociated by treatment with 4M-guanidinium chloride. The complex again formed when the guanidine was removed. The cartilage matrix protein has a mol.wt. of more than 200000. On reduction it yields subunits with a mol.wt. of approx. 60000. 相似文献

Megasphaera elsdenii and Clostridium MP flavodoxins have been investigated by photo-CIDNP techniques. Using time-resolved spectroscopy and external dyes carrying different charges it was possible to assign unambiguously the resonance lines in the NMR-spectra to tyrosine, tryptophan and methionine residues in the two proteins. The results show that Trp-91 in M.elsdenii and Trp-90 in Cl.MP flavodoxin are strongly immobilized and placed directly above the benzene subnucleus of the prosthetic group. The data further indicate that the active sites of the two flavodoxins are extremely similar. 相似文献

Purified chondrocytic alkaline phosphatase (orthophosphoric-monoester phosphohydrolase (alkaline optimum), EC 3.1.3.1) from bovine fetal epiphyseal cartilage hydrolyzes a variety of phosphate esters as well as ATP and inorganic pyrophosphate. Optimal activities for p-nitrophenyl phosphate, ATP and inorganic pyrophosphate are found at pH 10.5, 10.0 and 8.5, respectively. The latter two substrates exhibit substrate inhibition at high concentrations. p-Nitrophenyl phosphate demonstrates decreasing pH optima with decreasng substrate concentration. Heat inactivation studies indicate that both phosphorolytic and pyrophosphorolytic cleavage occur at the same site on the enzyme. Mg2+ (0.1-10.0 mM) and Mn2+ (0.01-0.1 mM) show a small stimulation of p-nitrophenyl phosphate-splitting activity at pH 10.5. Levamisole, Pi, CN-, Zn2+ and L-phenylalanine are all reversible inhibitors of the phosphomonoesterase activity. Pi is a competitive inhibitor with a Ki of 10.0 mM. Levamisole and Zn2+ are potent non-competitive inhibitors with inhibition constants of 0.05 and 0.04 mM, respectively. The chondrocytic alkaline phosphatase is inhibited irreversibly by Be2+, EDTA, EGTA, ethane-1-hydroxydiphosphonate, dichloromethane diphosphonate, L-cysteine, phenyl-methylsulfonyl fluoride, N-ethylmaleimide and iodoacetamide. NaCL, KCL and Na2SO4 at 0.5-1.0 M inhibit the enzyme. At pH 8.5, the cleavage of inorganic pyrophosphate (pyrophosphate phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.1) by the chondrocytic enzyme is slightly enhanced by low levels of Mg2+ and depressed by concentrations higher than 1mM. Ca2+ show only inhibition. Similar effects of Mg2+ and Ca2+ on the associated ATPase (ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.6.3) activity were observed. Arrhenius studies using p-nitrophenyl phosphate and AMP as substrates have accounted for the ten-fold difference in V in terms of small differences in both the enthalpies and entropies of activation which are 700 cal/mol and 2.3 cal/degree per mol, respectively. 相似文献

Solubilization and reconstitution of the cardiac sarcolemmal Na+/Ca2+ exchanger by use of the anionic detergent cholate and its application for reconstitution of the exchanger following solubilization with zwitterionic or nonionic detergents is described. Solubilization and reconstitution with cholate provided a 32.6-fold enrichment of Na+/Ca2+ exchange activity over sarcolemmal vesicles (5.2 to 170 nmol/mg/s) with 202% recovery of total activity. In combination with asolectin, the cholate dilution technique (H. Miyamoto and E. Racker, J. Biol. Chem. 255, 2656, 1980) offers a rapid and simple means for reconstitution and provides good recovery of total and specific Na+/Ca2+ exchange activity. However, the use of anionic detergents for solubilization precludes the use of certain chromatographic procedures for protein purification. Conversely, nonionic and zwitterionic detergents permit effective use of available chromatographic techniques, but can be troublesome during reconstitution. We have combined the advantages of solubilization with nonionic and zwitterionic detergents with the advantages of reconstitution by cholate dilution. Reconstitution of the exchanger, after solubilization with 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)-dimethyl-ammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (Chaps) or n-octyl-beta-D-glucoside, was accomplished by the addition of a cholate/asolectin medium followed by dilution. Na+/Ca2+ exchange activity was enriched 30.7-fold with 196% recovery with Chaps and 34.1-fold with 204% recovery with n-octyl-beta-D-glucoside. The presence of Chaps was found to shift the optimal asolectin concentration for reconstitution from 15 mg/ml (cholate alone) to 25 mg/ml. In addition, pelleting of proteoliposomes subsequent to reconstitution resulted in greatest recovery of total activity when volumes were kept below 1.0 ml.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Purification and partial characterization of ATP pyrophosphohydrolase from fetal bovine epiphyseal cartilage 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

ATP pyrophosphohydrolase was partially purified from fetal bovine epiphyseal cartilage. The purification was about 10- and 100-fold over the enzyme activities of matrix vesicle fraction and cell homogenate, respectively. The pyrophosphohydrolase and alkaline phosphatase were separated by a sequential application of Sepharose CL-6B and DEAE-cellulose column chromatographies. The purified enzyme migrated as a single band corresponding to the molecular weight of 230,000 in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide disc gel by electrophoresis. The enzyme absolutely required Zn2+ for its activity and appeared to bind Zn2+ strongly with an apparent affinity of p[Zn2+]0.5 = 13.4. The apparent Km for ATP was 0.18 mM. The enzyme was also reactive toward various nucleoside triphosphates including GTP, CTP, and UTP. In contrast, various phosphodiesters including RNA, UDP-glucose, NAD, and bis-p-nitrophenylphosphate were 5% or less as reactive as the nucleoside triphosphates. The pyrophosphohydrolase was inactive toward adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate or various phosphonates. UDP-glucose (1 mM), NAD (1 mM), or RNA (1 mg/ml) failed to inhibit the ATP pyrophosphohydrolase activity. These observations suggest that the ATP pyrophosphohydrolase of the cartilage is probably not a phosphodiesterase I. The matrix vesicle fraction, which probably also included some plasma membrane vesiculated during collagenase digestion, contained the highest specific activity of the enzyme as compared to other subcellular fractions of either epiphyseal or articular cartilage. 相似文献

Aminopeptidase P was solubilized from bovine lung by sodium deoxycholate extraction of salt-washed, delipidated lung acetone powders. Hydrolysis of the standard aminopeptidase P substrate, Gly-Pro-Hyp, as well as cleavage of Arg-Pro-Pro and the Arg1-Pro2 bond of bradykinin, co-eluted from a Mono Q anion exchange column and demonstrated identical inhibitory profiles suggesting that all activities were functions of the same enzyme. The metal chelator, 1,10-phenanthroline, completely inhibited activity suggesting that aminopeptidase P is a metallopeptidase. 2-Mercaptoethanol was both a potent and specific inhibitor of the enzyme (at 4 mM). A variety of other peptidase inhibitors showed either no effect or failed to completely inhibit even at high concentrations. The inhibitory profile and substrate specificity differ considerably from previous reports claiming to study the properties of this enzyme. Evidence is provided that aminopeptidase P may have an important role in the pulmonary degradation of the potent vasoactive peptide, bradykinin.Abbreviations X--NA

BackgroundThe exceptional capacities of aquaporins in terms of water permeation and selectivity have made them an interesting system for membrane applications. Despite the multiple attempts for immobilizing the aquaporins over a porous substrate, there is a lack of studies related to the purification and reconstitution steps, principally associated with the use of detergents in solubilization and destabilization steps. This study analyzed the effect of detergents in Aquaporin Z solubilization, considering the purity and structural homogeneity of the protein.MethodsThe extraction process was optimized by the addition of detergent at the sonication step, which enabled the omission of the ultracentrifugation and resuspension steps. Two detergents, Triton X-100, and octyl-glucoside were also evaluated. Destabilization mediated by detergents was used as reconstitution method. Saturation and solubilization points were defined by detergent concentration and both, liposomes and proteoliposomes, were analyzed by size distribution and permeability assays. Detergent removal with Bio-beads was also analyzed.ResultsOctyl glucoside ensures structural stability and homogeneity of Aquaporin Z. However, high concentrations of detergents induce the presence of defects in proteoliposomes. While saturated liposomes create homogeneous and functional structures, solubilized liposomes get affected by a reassembly process, creating vesicle defects with anomalous permeability profiles.ConclusionsDetergent concentration affects the structural conformation of proteoliposomes in the reconstitution process.General significanceSince the destabilization process is dependent on vesicle, detergent, and buffer composition, optimization of this process should be mandatory for further studies. All these considerations will allow achieving the potential of Aquaporins and any other integral membrane protein in their applications for industrial purposes. 相似文献

The solubilization and morphological change of human platelets in various detergents 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The solubilization of human gel-filtered platelets by octyl glucoside, Triton X-100, dodecylsulfate, and deoxycholate was compared from the analysis of (1) cell lysis, (2) marker leakiness, and (3) component solubility. These analyses all revealed that the effect of detergent concentration on the solubilization of platelets by these detergents was exerted in three stages, i.e., the prelytic, lytic, and complete platelet-lysis stages. These analyses also indicated several differences among platelets in these detergents. (i) The ratio of the platelet-saturation concentration (PSC) to critical micellar concentration (CMC) was about 1/2 for octyl glucoside. Triton X-100 and dodecylsulfate, while it was close to 1 for deoxycholate. (ii) Platelets in octyl glucoside. Triton X-100, and dodecylsulfate all showed parallel curves in cell lysis, protein solubilization and marker leakiness, while the platelet lysis in deoxycholate was identical to the phospholipid solubilization. (iii) The solubility curves of various components in Triton X-100 and deoxycholate were parallel. However, the solubility of cholesterol in octyl glucoside was lower than that of protein and phospholipid. In dodecylsulfate, the solubility of phospholipid and cholesterol was very low in comparison with that of protein. In addition, morphological studies using scanning electron microscopy (scanning EM) revealed that the solubilization by octyl glucoside or Triton X-100 might occur via membrane area expansion. On the other hand, the solubilization by dodecylsulfate or deoxycholate showed membrane vesiculation prior to cell lysis. Moreover, in the prelytic stage, the morphological change in platelets in octyl glucoside showed only concentration dependence by swelling to an ellipsoid and then to a sphere. However, the morphological change in platelets in the other three detergents was dependent not only on the detergent concentration but also on prolonged incubation. Specifically, in Triton X-100, the cells initially changed to spiculate discs and then reached their final shape as swollen discs with surface invagination. In dodecylsulfate and deoxycholate the morphological changes were almost the same. The cell initially deformed in shape to a spiculate disc and finally to a stretched-out flat form. The results are discussed according to the bilayer couple hypothesis. Also, in the prelytic stage, these detergents caused inhibition of the response of platelets to collagen and ADP-fibrinogen. 相似文献

Matrix vesicles in the elastic cartilage of epiglottis were negative for acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, and ATPase. This is in agreement with the very rare occurrence of mineralization of elastic cartilage. Only the lysosomes of the chondrocytes showed a positive reaction for acid phosphatase, and a positive reaction for alkaline phosphatase and ATPase was found in relation to the cells of the perichondrium. 相似文献

Extracts from bovine nasal cartilage with 1 M-guanidinium chloride were fractionated by ultrafiltration. Gel chromatography of the low-molecular-weight material resolved three distinct fractions with inhibitory activity against (a) collagenases (22000 mol.wt.), (b) thiol proteinases cathepsin B and papain (13000 mol.wt.), and (c) trypsin and other serine proteinases (7000 mol.wt.). 相似文献
