AC-3579 (2-N-methylpiperazinomethyl-1,3-diazafluoranthen 1-oxide) produces in rat hepatocytes a hypertrophy of the endoplasmic reticulum.Two possibilities that can explain this phenomenon are (1) that AC-3579 inactivates the phospholipases, and (2) that an AC-3579-lipid interaction hinders the enzymic activity.To demonstrate these hypotheses, a physicochemical model of biological membrane, the lipid-water interface, has been used. Dipalmitoyl dl-α-phosphatidylcholine was spread at the air-water interface, the enzymes (phospholipase A or phospholipase C) dissolved in the aqueous phase.The enzymic reaction was first studied with and without AC-3579 dissolved in the aqueous phase; no enzymic inactivation was observed. However in AC-3579- lipid complex completely inhibited the enzymic reaction in the case of phospholipase A.An explanation is given in terms of steric hindrance to the enzyme-substrate complex formation. 相似文献

1. The action of the water-soluble phospholipase D from Savoy cabbage leaves upon an aqueous solution of lysolecithin has been studied. 2. Optimum conditions required the presence of Ca(2+) ions and pH5.8. 3. Equivalence was found between the amounts of lysolecithin hydrolysed and free choline released. The reaction was not accompanied by deacylation. 4. As the enzymic degradation proceeded, an opalescence developed, owing to the insolubility of the reaction product in the presence of Ca(2+) ions. 5. Evidence has been obtained indicating the heterogeneity of this reaction product. 相似文献

A novel fluorescent phospholipid analogue, 1-triacontanoyl-2-(pyren-1-yl)hexanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (C30PHPC) was employed as a substrate for human pancreatic phospholipase A2. C30PHPC has a main endothermic phase transition with Tm at 46 degrees C as determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). For an aqueous dispersion of C30PHPC the ratio of the intensities of pyrene excimer and monomer fluorescence emission, (IE/IM) has a maximum between 32 and 36 degrees C. The excimer emission intensity (at 480 nm) exceeds the monomer emission intensity (at 400 nm) 6.5-fold thus indicating a close packing of the phospholipid pyrene moieties in the lipid phase. C30PHPC has a limiting mean molecular area of 37 A2 at surface pressure 35 dyn cm-1 as judged by the compression isotherm at an air-water interphase. The hydrolysis of C30PHPC by human pancreatic phospholipase A2 was followed by monitoring the increase in the pyrene monomer fluorescence emission intensity occurring as a consequence of transfer of the reaction product, pyren-1-yl hexanoic acid into the aqueous phase. The enzyme reaction exhibited an apparent Km of 2.0 microM substrate. Calcium at a concentration of 0.2 mM activated the enzyme 4-fold. Maximal hydrolytic rates were obtained at 45 degrees C and at pH between 5.5 and 6.5. The enzyme reaction could be inhibited by 5 mM EDTA, confirming the absolute requirement for Ca2+ of this enzyme. The present fluorimetric assay easily detects hydrolysis of C30PHPC in the pmol min-1 range. Accordingly, less than nanogram levels of human pancreatic phospholipase A2 can be detected. 相似文献

Interactions of melittin and/or phospholipase A2 (PLA2) with circular dichroism (CD)-active phospholipid, bis(4'-n-octanoxyazobenzene-4-carboxyl)-L-alpha-phosphatidylcholin e (CDPC), were studied. In the presence of melittin at a lipid-to-melittin molar ratio (Ri) of 5, multilamellar dispersion, composed of CDPC and dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine with a molar ratio of 1, underwent morphological change to form small melittin-lipid particles. When PLA2 was added to the melittin-lipid particles at 37 degrees C, the CD band at 222 nm exhibited a remarkable enhancement depending on Ri, indicating the formation of melittin-PLA2-lipid complex. After a 30 min incubation of melittin-PLA2-lipid complex at 45 degrees C in the presence of Ca2+, the CD band at 222 nm was still enhanced and a new positive band at 356 nm was observed. On the other hand, in the absence of Ca2+, the CD enhancement characteristic of melittin-PLA2-lipid complex disappeared after the incubation at 45 degrees C. These results suggest that the melittin-PLA2-lipid complex did not undergo any drastic morphological change upon PLA2-catalyzed hydrolysis of lipid, and that Ca2+ is indispensable in order that the melittin-PLA2-lipid complex remains intact and PLA2 exerts efficient hydrolytic activity in the melittin-PLA2-lipid complex. 相似文献

A new process for the simultaneous enzymic synthesis and purification of N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-
-aspartyl-
-phenylalanine methyl ester (ZAPM), a precursor of aspartame, has been developed. The enzymic reaction between N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-
-aspartic acid (ZA) and
-phenylalanine methyl ester (PM) was carried out in a biphasic hollow-fibre rector with an aqueous phase an a butyl acetate phase. The reaction took place in the aqueous phase and by maintaining the pH at 5, the product (ZAPM) was extracted into the organic phase. Product purity was greater than 90% and reasonable productivity could be achieved with this system. 相似文献

Phospholipase A2 assay using an intramolecularly quenched pyrene-labeled phospholipid analog as a substrate 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A phospholipid analog 1-palmitoyl-2-6(pyren-1-yl)hexanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-N- (trinitrophenyl)aminoethanol (PPHTE) in which pyrene fluorescence is intramolecularly quenched by the trinitrophenyl group was used as a substrate for pancreatic phospholipase A2. Upon phospholipase A2 catalyzed hydrolysis of this molecule pyrene monomer fluorescence emission intensity increased as a result of the transfer of the pyrene fatty acid to the aqueous phase. Optimal conditions for phospholipase A2 hydrolysis of PPHTE were similar to those observed earlier for other pyrenephospholipids (T. Thuren, J. A. Virtanen, R. Verger, and P. K. J. Kinnunen (1987) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 917, 411-417). Although differential scanning calorimetry revealed no thermal phase transitions for PPHTE between +5 and +60 degrees C the Arrhenius plot of the enzymatic hydrolysis of the lipid showed a discontinuity at 30 degrees C. The molecular origin of this discontinuity remains at present unknown. To study the effects of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) phase transition at 23.9 degrees C on phospholipase A2 reaction PPHTE was mixed with DMPC in a molar ratio of 1:200 in small unilamellar vesicles. The hydrolysis of DMPC-PPHTE vesicles was measured by following the increase in pyrene monomer fluorescence emission due to phospholipase A2 action on PPHTE. Below the phase transition of DMPC the enzymatic reaction exhibited a hyperbolic behavior. At the transition as well as at slightly higher temperatures a lag period was observed. The longest lag period was approximately 20 min. Above 26 degrees C no lag time could be observed. However, the reaction rates were slower than below the phase transition temperature.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The possibility was examined whether weak external electromagnetic radiation can affect the parameters of enzymic reactions. It was found that, in a system involving an aqueous solution of concanavalin A, glucose, and erbium salt exposed to helium-neon laser light of a wavelength of 633 nm, epimers of glucose: allosa, mannose, and galactose are formed. The effect observed was found to represent a photoinduced enzymic reaction in which the protein dissolved in water converts the glucose associated with it into epimers by the action of electromagnetic radiation. The photoepimerase activity of concanavalin A was established for the first time. 相似文献

Two novel C16:0 sulfur-linked phosphonolipids (S-lipid and SO(2)-lipid) and two ether-linked phosphonolipids (C16:0 DEPN-8 and C16:1 UnDEPN-8) were studied for surface behavior alone and in mixtures with purified bovine lung surfactant proteins (SP)-B and/or SP-C. Synthetic C16:0 phosphonolipids all had improved adsorption and film respreading compared to dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine, and SO(2)-lipid and DEPN-8 reached maximum surface pressures of 72mN/m (minimum surface tensions of <1mN/m) in compressed films on the Wilhelmy balance (23 degrees C). Dispersions of DEPN-8 (0.5mg/ml) and SO(2)-lipid (2.5mg/ml) also reached minimum surface tensions of <1mN/m on a pulsating bubble surfactometer (37 degrees C, 20cycles/min, 50% area compression). Synthetic lung surfactants containing DEPN-8 or SO(2)-lipid+0.75% SP-B+0.75% SP-C had dynamic surface activity on the bubble equal to that of calf lung surfactant extract (CLSE). Surfactants containing DEPN-8 or SO(2)-lipid plus 1.5% SP-B also had very high surface activity, but less than when both apoproteins were present together. Adding 10wt.% of UnDEPN-8 to synthetic lung surfactants did not improve dynamic surface activity. Surfactants containing DEPN-8 or SO(2)-lipid plus 0.75% SP-B/0.75% SP-C were chemically and biophysically resistant to phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)), while CLSE was severely inhibited by PLA(2). The high activity and inhibition resistance of synthetic surfactants containing DEPN-8 or SO(2)-lipid plus SP-B/SP-C are promising for future applications in treating surfactant dysfunction in inflammatory lung injury. 相似文献

We have developed a spectrophotometric assay for phospholipase A(2) activity using 2,4-dinitrophenyl-labeled phosphatidylcholine as substrate. The assay allows quite simple quantification of phospholipase A(2) activity by measuring the absorbance of the aqueous phase after extraction of the reaction mixture and requires neither chromatographic separation of the reaction products nor the addition of auxiliary coloring reagents. 相似文献

Methyl arachidonyl fluorophosphonate (MAFP) is a known inhibitor of cytosolic phospholipase A2 and some other serine enzymes. MAFP was found here to be an irreversible inhibitor of human pancreatic lipase-related protein 2 (HPLRP2), an enzyme displaying lipase, phospholipase A1 and galactolipase activities. In the presence of MAFP, mass spectrometry analysis of HPLRP2 revealed a mass increase of 351Da, suggesting a covalent binding of MAFP to the active site serine residue. When HPLRP2 was pre-incubated with MAFP before measuring residual activity, a direct inhibition of HPLRP2 occurred, confirming that HPLRP2 has an active site freely accessible to solvent and differs from most lipases in solution. HPLRP2 activities on tributyrin (TC4), phosphatidylcholine (PC) and monogalactosyl dioctanoylglycerol (C8-MGDG) were equally inhibited under these conditions. Bile salts were not required to trigger the inhibition, but they significantly increased the rate of HPLRP2 inhibition, probably because of MAFP micellar solubilization. Since HPLRP2 is active on various substrates that self-organize differently in the presence of water, HPLRP2 inhibition by MAFP was tested in the presence of these substrates after adding MAFP in the course of the lipolysis reaction. In this case, the rates of inhibition of lipase, phospholipase A1 and galactolipase activities were not equivalent (triglycerides>PC>MGDG), suggesting different enzyme/inhibitor partitioning between the aqueous phase and lipid aggregates. The inhibition by MAFP of a well identified phospholipase A1 (HPLRP2), present in pancreatic juice and also in human monocytes, indicates that MAFP cannot be used for discriminating phospholipase A2 from A1 activities at the cellular level. 相似文献

A new fiber-optic dissolved oxygen sensing technique was applied to the study of two-phase aqueous/perfluorocarbon (pfc) dispersions. These dispersions were examined for their oxygen transfer enhancement capability in the absence and presence of an oxygen-consuming reaction. For the pfc-in-water dispersions, oxygen uptake rate (OUR) enhancements were equal both with and without oxygen-consuming cells present in the aqueous phase. In contrast, for water-in-pfc dispersions, OUR enhancements inthe presence of reaction were limited by oxygen diffusion across the aqueous phase droplets. Nevertheless, enhancement factors of 5-10 on an aqueous phase volume basis were obtained in a 75% pfc dispersion.These oxygen transfer enhancements were directly translatable into enhancements in overall fermenter productivity for actual microbial cultivation systems. 相似文献

Studies on film production by mycoplasmas revealed that film was produced by completely disintegrated mycoplasma cells on Noble agar in the presence of horse serum. Film production was due to an enzymic reaction between mycoplasma lipase, possibly phospholipase A, and phospholipid in serum. 相似文献

The majority of phospholipase A2 activity in myocardium is calcium-independent and selective for hydrolysis of plasmalogen substrate (Wolf, R. A., and Gross, R. W. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 7295-7303; Hazen, S. L., Stuppy, R. J., and Gross, R. W. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 10622-10630). Accordingly, identification of an inhibitor which selectively targets calcium-independent phospholipases A2 would facilitate elucidation of the biologic significance of this class of intracellular phospholipases. We now report that the haloenol lactone, (E)-6-(bromomethylene)tetrahydro-3-(1-naphthalenyl)-2H-pyran-2-one (Compound 1), is a potent, irreversible, mechanism-based inhibitor of myocardial calcium-independent phospholipase A2 which is greater than 1000-fold specific for inhibition of myocardial calcium-independent phospholipase A2 in comparisons with multiple calcium-dependent phospholipases A2. Mechanism-based inhibition of myocardial cytosolic calcium-independent phospholipase A2 by Compound 1 was established by demonstrating: 1) time-dependent irreversible inactivation; 2) covalent binding of [3H]Compound 1 to the purified phospholipase A2; 3) ablation of covalent binding of [3H]Compound 1 after chemical inactivation of phospholipase A2 enzymic activity; 4) identical inhibition of myocardial phospholipase A2 by Compound 1 in the absence or presence of nucleophilic scavengers; 5) Compound 1 is a substrate for myocardial calcium-independent phospholipase A2 resulting in the generation of the electrophilic alpha-bromomethyl ketone; 6) phospholipase A2 inhibition requires the in situ generation of the reactive electrophile (i.e. neither the alpha-bromomethyl ketone nor the diproteoenol lactone analog are inhibitory); and 7) concomitant attenuation of the inhibitory potency and the extent of covalent adduct formation in the presence of saturating substrate. Collectively, these results demonstrate that the haloenol lactone, Compound 1, is a substrate for, covalently binds to, and irreversibly inhibits canine myocardial cytosolic calcium-independent phospholipase A2. 相似文献

The venom gland extracts of the sea snake Laticauda semifasciata contained at least four forms of phospholipase A separable on a CM-cellulose column. They were designated as phospholipases A I-IV in the order of elution from the column. Phospholipases A I, III, and IV were isolated in a homogeneous state. They were similar to one another in amino acid composition and molecular weight (14,000) as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Phospholipase A I contained one tryptophan residue. whereas III and IV did not. Although all these forms had the same A2-type positional specificity, they were classified into two groups (I, and III and IV) on the basis of enzymic properties. Phospholipase A I had a higher specific activity and showed normal kinetics, whereas III and IV had approximately one-tenth of the specific activity of I and showed biphasic kinetics due to their activation by the reaction products. Phospholipase A I, the major form, seems to be identical with phospholipase A reported previously (Tu, A.T., Passey, R.B., & Toom, P.M. (1970) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 140, 96-106), whereas the other two, III and IV, are new. Phospholipase A I became more like III and IV in enzymic properties on modification with N-bromosuccinimide. 相似文献

Hydrolysis of soluble starch by glucoamylase and β-amylase was investigated as a model reaction in an aqueous two-phase system consisting of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and dextran (DEX). Changes in glucose concentration observed in the batch reaction experiments with glucoamylase were almost identical for the aqueous two-phase and pure water systems, showing that the enzymic reactions investigated were not influenced by the presence of PEG and DEX. The partition of β-amylase into the DEX phase was insufficient compared to that of glucoamylase. Hence, the former enzyme was crosslinked with glutaraldehyde to increase its apparent molecular weight and, as a consequence, the partition coefficient, defined as the concentration ratio of the component partitioned into the PEG phase to that into the DEX phase, was decreased to 17% of that of the original enzyme. In the operation in which the enzyme and substrate are partitioned selectively into the DEX phase and allowed to react there while the product, thus transferring to the PEG phase, is recovered, the aqueous two-phase system with a smaller partition coefficient provided longer operational stability. 相似文献

The objective of this investigation was to evaluate an acetic acid ester of monoglycerides made from edible, fully hydrogenated palm oil (AC-70) as a suppository base and compare it with a commercially available semisynthetic base (Suppocire AI). Benzocaine and miconazole were used as model drugs. Suppositories were prepared by the fusion method. The drug loads in the suppositories were kept at 2% to 5% (wt/wt). In vitro release of drug from the suppositories into Sorensen's phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) was studied using a US Pharmacopeia dissolution apparatus 1 and a spectrophotometer. The melting behavior of the bases and the physical state of the drug in the suppositories were studied using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). Powder x-ray diffractometry was used to study any possible polymorphic changes in the AC-70 base during formulation and storage. In vitro release studies revealed that the release of benzocaine from the AC-70 suppository was substantially slower than that of the commercial AI base. At a 2.5% (wt/wt) benzocaine load, the release of drug from the AC-70 suppositories was found to be linear. This slow and linear release was attributed to the physical property of the base, which forms liquid crystalline phases in the aqueous dissolution medium. The lyotropic liquid crystalline phase has the ability to incorporate drug into its structure and can control the release kinetics of the drug from such a system. The apparent pH of the release medium (water) was decreased by 1 to 1.5 pH units when the AC-70 base was used. The DSC studies revealed that the melting range of the AC-70 base is 36 degrees C to 38 degrees C, which is ideal for suppository formulations. The results of these studies support the possibility of using this new base for slow-release suppository formulations. This base may be of particular interest for a drug that requires an acidic environment to maintain its activity. 相似文献

A magnetic fluid was synthesized by oxidation of ferrous ions (Fe2&+) in the presence of a synthetic alternating copolymer of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and maleic acid (MA), poly(PEG-MA). The magnetic fluid dispersed stably both in aqueous solution and in organic solvents. Its particle size was approximately 10 nm. The magnetic fluid was mixed with lipase in water, followed by lyophilization. Although the enzyme and the magnetic fluid were dissociated in aqueous solution, they remained associated in organic solvents such as benzene. The magnetic fluid-adsorbed lipase dispersed in benzene and exerted high enzymic activity (2.9 μmol min−1 mg−1 lyophilized powder) for lauryl laurate synthesis from lauric acid and lauryl alcohol, and was readily recovered from the reaction mixture in a magnetic field (6000 Oe) without loss of enzymic activity. 相似文献

1. The survival of mammalian epithelial cells exposed in vitro to the xanthine/xanthine oxidase system in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) or serum-containing medium (SCMEM) was investigated. 2. The cytotoxic effect observed depended on the composition of the medium in which the enzymic reaction was carried out; a surviving fraction of 5 x 10(-5) was found for cells exposed in PBS and 5.2 x 10(-1) for those in SCMEM. 3. The cytotoxic product(s) formed by the xanthine/xanthine oxidase system was relatively stable in PBS; survival of cells incubated after completion of the enzymic reaction was always less than that found for cells exposed during the reaction in the same system. 4. Superoxide dismutase or mannitol present during the enzymic reaction did not inhibit the cytotoxic effect. 5. NaN3 (a single-oxygen quencher and a catalase inhibitor) added to the system in SCMEM caused a reduction in survival to the level observed for cells exposed to the enzymic reaction in PBS. 6. Catalase completely protected cells, but no protection was observed when both catalase and NaN3 were present in the reaction mixture. 7. A similar cytotoxic effect was produced when cells were treated with H2O2 alone. 8. The rate of H2O2 decomposition in medium was accelerated by the presence of serum, but this was completely inhibited by NaN3. 9. It is concluded that H2O2 is the major cytotoxic product formed by the xanthine/xanthine oxidase system. 相似文献

A basic phospholipase A was isolated from Vipera russellii snake venom. It induced a biphasic effect on washed rabbit platelets suspended in Tyrode's solution. The first phase was a reversible aggregation which was dependent on stirring and extracellular calcium. The second phase was an inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation, occurring 5 min after the addition of the venom phospholipase A without stirring or after a recovery from the reversible aggregation. The aggregating phase could be inhibited by indomethacin, tetracaine, papaverine, creatine phosphate/creatine phosphokinase, mepacrine, verapamil, sodium nitroprusside, prostaglandin E1 or bovine serum albumin. The venom phospholipase A released free fatty acids from synthetic phosphatidylcholine and intact platelets. p-Bromophenacyl bromide-modified venom phospholipase A lost its phospholipase A enzymatic and platelet-aggregating activities, but protected platelets from the aggregation induced by the native enzyme. The second phase of the venom phospholipase A action showed a different degree of inhibition on platelet aggregation induced by some activators in following order: arachidonic acid greater than collagen greater than thrombin greater than ionophore A23187. The longer the incubation time or the higher the concentration of the venom phospholipase A, the more pronounced was the inhibitory effect. The venom phospholipase A did not affect the thrombin-induced release reaction which was caused by intracellular Ca2+ mobilization in the presence of EDTA, but inhibited collagen-induced release reaction which was caused by Ca2+ influx from extracellular medium. The inhibitory effect of the venom phospholipase A and also lysophosphatidylcholine or arachidonic acid could be antagonized or reversed by bovine serum albumin. It was concluded that the first stimulatory phase of the venom phospholipase A action might be due to arachidonate liberation from platelet membrane. The second phase of inhibition of platelet aggregation and the release of ATP might be due to the inhibitory action of the split products produced by this venom phospholipase A. 相似文献

The structure of membrane-associated gramicidins can depend on the solvent in which they were dissolved prior to membrane incorporation (LoGrasso, P. V., F. Moll, and T. A. Cross 1988. Biophys. J. 54:259-267; Killian, J. A., K. U. Prasad, D. Hains, and D. W. Urry. 1988. Biochemistry. 27:4848-4855). The peptide's solvent history might thus affect the functional characteristics of gramicidin channels (op. cit.). We tested this proposal by examining the properties (conductance, conductance dispersity, and average duration) of channels formed by [Val1]gramicidin A that had been dissolved in eight different solvents. The peptide was incorporated into lipid bilayers either by addition to the aqueous phase (and subsequent adsorption to the membrane) or by cosolubilization with the membrane-forming phospholipid. When the peptide was cosolubilized with the phospholipid, the channel properties did not vary with the solvent used. When the peptide was dissolved in chloroform, benzene, or trifluoroethanol and added through the aqueous phase, the channel properties differed from those found when gramidicin was dissolved in methanol, ethanol, dioxane, dimethylsulfoxide, or ethylacetate. The changes observed with the former three solvents were reproduced by adding them to the aqueous phase, and are therefore due to the ability of these solvents to partition into the membrane and alter the channels' behavior. 相似文献
