A soluble form of lysosomal sphingomyelinase was partially purified from human urine using concanavalin A-Sepharose 4B, Sephadex G-100 and octyl-Sepharose 4B chromatography. The octyl-Sepharose 4B eluate was used to immunise a rabbit. The antiserum obtained was able to precipitate about 70% of the sphingomyelinase activity present in urine from control subjects. Both the immunoprecipitable and non-precipitable activities were found to be deficient in urine from patients with Niemann-Pick disease Type A and Type B. In contrast, both activities were present in urine from patients with Niemann-Pick disease Type C. The antiserum was able to precipitate about 80% of the sphingomyelinase activity present in an aqueous extract of placenta. 相似文献

Acid sphingomyelinase (sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase, EC 3.1.4.12) was purified from human urine in the presence of 0.1% Nonidet P-40. The activity could be enriched 23,000-fold by sequential chromatography on octyl-Sepharose, concanavalin A-Sepharose, blue Sepharose and DEAE-cellulose. The last purification step yielded an enzyme preparation with a specific activity of about 2.5 mmol sphingomyelin cleaved/h per mg protein and with a yield of about 3%. Purified sphingomyelinase appeared to be homogeneous in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with a molecular mass of 70 kDa. In the presence of 0.08% (w/v) sodium taurodeoxycholate the preparation showed phosphodiesterase activity toward sphingomyelin, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylglycerol. These activities co-purified during the entire purification procedure, indicating that the acid sphingomyelinase hydrolyses not only sphingomyelin but also the other two phospholipids, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylglycerol. Addition of 100 microM tripalmitoylglycerol to the assay system (which contains 100 microM sphingomyelin) instead of detergent, stimulated the reaction about 20-fold compared to an assay which did not contain detergents, thus offering a very sensitive and efficient system for the assay of sphingomyelinase in a system free of detergents. Sphingomyelin degradation was strongly inhibited by phosphatidylinositol 4',5'-bisphosphate, adenosine 3',5'-diphosphate and adenine-9-beta-D-arabinofuranoside 5'-monophosphate (50% inhibition at inhibitor concentrations of 1-5 microM). 相似文献

The DNAase in human urine was purified about 30-fold with a recovery of 28%. This involved DEAE-cellulose and phosphocellulose chromatography steps and gel filtration on Sephadex G-75. The enzyme required divalent cations such as Co2+, Mg2+, Mn2+ and Zn2+ for activity, but Ca2+, Cu2+ and Fe2+ were ineffective. EDTA and G-actin inhibited the reaction. The maximum activity was observed at pH 5.5 in acetate buffer plus Co2+ or Mg2+ and Ca2+. It had a molecular weight of approximately 38 000, estimated by gel filtration on Sephadex G-75 and isoelectric point of around pH 3.9. The enzyme is an endonuclease which hydrolyzes native, double-stranded DNA about 3 to 4 times faster than thermally denatured DNA to produce 5'-phosphoryl- and 3'-hydroxyl-terminated oligonucleotides. The final preparation was free of non-specific acid and alkaline phosphatases, phosphodiesterase and ribonuclease activities. 相似文献

The receptor for human interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) was purified from foreskin fibroblasts. Triton X-100 extracts obtained from either intact cells or membrane preparations were passed through an immobilized interferon-gamma column. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of eluted fractions revealed a major band of Mr = 95,000 and minor bands of Mr = 80,000 and 60,000. Further purification was obtained by steric exclusion and by lectin chromatography. The purified receptor retained the ability to bind 125I-IFN-gamma with a Kd of 2.2 X 10(-10) M, a value close to that obtained with intact fibroblasts (5 X 10(-10) M). A complex of Mr = 105,000-125,000 was visualized by immunoprecipitation of 125I-IFN-gamma cross-linked to the purified receptor followed by SDS-PAGE and autoradiography. A similar complex was obtained when 125I-IFN-gamma was cross-linked to intact cells. Immunization of mice with the excised SDS-PAGE band of Mr = 95,000 elicited antibodies that blocked the antiviral activity of IFN-gamma and immunoprecipitated the cross-linked complex of 125I-IFN-gamma and its receptor. 相似文献

Monoclonal antibodies against human placental acid sphingomyelinase have been raised. The antibodies are all of the IgG1 type, and are quite specific for the enzyme. One of the antibodies has been used to demonstrate a common antigenic identity of three polypeptides (mol.wts. 90,000, 72,000, and 48,000) of a purified sphingomyelinase preparation. 相似文献

Sphingomyelinase was purified about 1700-fold from human placenta. The major steps in the procedure included chromatography on Concanavalin A-Sepharose, Sepharose 6B, and carboxymethyl-Sepharose (CM-Sepharose). The final preparation was stable for at least 3 months when stored at 4 degrees C. The enzyme was found to be heterogeneous on CM-Sepharose and isoelectric focusing. Triton X-100 which was present in most buffers used during the purification appears to be partially responsible for the heterogeneity. When Triton X-100 is removed by treatment with Bio Beads, heterogeneity was reduced. However, removal of the detergent also leads to loss of enzyme activity which could not be restored by readdition of Triton X-100. The data suggest that sphingomyelinase has a high hydrophobic character and that both its stability and electrofocusing behaviour are influenced by interaction with the nonionic detergent. 相似文献

Acid sphingomyelinase was purified to homogeneity from human placenta in the presence of a dialyzable detergent, n-octyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside. The major steps in the procedure included column chromatographies with Con A-Sepharose, sphingosylphosphorylcholine-Sepharose 4B, hexyl-agarose, and Mono P. The purified enzyme with pI 7.4 had a specific activity of approx 170,000 units/mg protein with a yield of 3.6%. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed a single protein band of Mr 62,000. Gel filtration with a Superose 12 column gave a single peak, and the enzyme in the presence 50 mM n-octyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside was of Mr 123,000, indicating that the native enzyme occurs in a dimeric form. The optimal pH was 5.5 with both sphingomyelin and an artificial substrate, 2-N-hexadecanoylamino-4-nitrophenylphosphorylcholine. The Km values were 55 microM with sphingomyelin and 340 microM with the artificial substrate. The enzyme activity was not affected by Mg2+ (1-5 mM), confirming that the enzyme is acid sphingomyelinase. The enzyme was stable at -80 degrees C for more than 4 months. In addition to the enzyme with pI 7.4, the Mono P chromatofocusing gave two peaks (pI 7.0 and 6.7) possessing the enzymatic activity. 相似文献

Phospholipase activities of human gastric bacterium, Helicobacter pylori, are regarded as the pathogenic factors owing to their actions on epithelial cell membranes. In this study, we purified and characterized neutral sphingomyelinase (N-SMase) from the superficial components of H. pylori strains for the first time. N-SMase was purified 2083-fold with an overall recovery of 37%. The purification steps included acid glycine extraction, ammonium sulfate precipitation, CM-Sepharose, Mono-Q, and Sephadex G-75 column chromatography. Approximate molecular mass for the native N-SMase was around 32 kDa. When N-omega-trinitrophenylaminolauryl sphingomyelin (TNPAL-SM) was used as a substrate, the purified enzyme exhibited a K(m) of 6.7 microM and a V(max) of 15.6 nmol of TNPAL-sphingosine/h/mg of protein at 37 degrees C in 50 mM phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.4. N-SMase reaches optimal activity at pH 7.4 and has a pI of 7.15. The enzyme activity is magnesium dependent and specifically hydrolyzed sphingomyelin and phosphatidylethanolamine. The enzyme also exhibits hemolytic activity on human erythrocytes. According to Western blot analysis, a rabbit antiserum against purified N-SMase from H. pylori cross-reacted with SMase from Bacillus cereus. Sera from individuals with H. pylori infection but not uninfected ones recognizing the purified N-SMase indicated that it was produced in vivo. In enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, the purified N-SMase used as an antigen was as effective as crude protein antigens in detecting human antibodies to H. pylori. 相似文献

Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) (EC 3.4.14.5) has been purified from normal human urine using immunoaffinity chromatography. The purified enzyme was homogeneous as judged by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. The molecular mass of urinary DPP-IV was estimated to be 280 kDa by gel filtration. The Km value for the hydrolysis of (Gly-L-Pro)-4-methylcoumaryl-7-amide tosylate was calculated to be 1.25 +/- 0.25 X 10(-4) M; the pH optimum and pI were 8.7 and 6.5, respectively. These properties were the same as those of renal DPP-IV. Both renal and this urinary DPP-IV were inhibited by diisopropylfluorophosphate and activated by phospholipid. From these results we suppose that urinary DPP-IV may be derived from the kidney rather than from the blood 相似文献

Sphingomyelin (SM) metabolism in the gut may have an impact on colon cancer development. In this study, we purified alkaline sphingomyelinase (alk-SMase) from human intestinal content, and studied its location in the mucosa, expression in colon cancer, and function on colon cancer cells. The enzyme was purified by a series of chromatographies. The molecular mass of the enzyme is 60 kDa, optimal pH is 8.5, and isoelectric point is 6.6. Under optimal conditions, 1 mg of the enzyme hydrolyzed 11 mM SM per hour. The properties of the enzyme are similar to those of rat intestinal alk-SMase but not to those of bacterial neutral SMase. Immunogold electronmicroscopy identified the enzyme on the microvillar membrane in endosome-like structures and in the Golgi complexes of human enterocytes. The expression and the activity of the enzyme were decreased in parallel in human colon cancer tissues compared with the adjacent normal tissue. The enzyme inhibited DNA biosynthesis and cell proliferation dose dependently and caused a reduction of SM in HT29 cells. Intestinal alk-SMase is localized in the enterocytes, down-regulated in human colon cancer, and may have antiproliferative effects on colon cancer cells. 相似文献

To broaden the range of tools available for proteomic research, we generated a library of 16,368 unique full-length human ORFs that are expressible as N-terminal GST-His(6) fusion proteins. Following expression in yeast, these proteins were then individually purified and used to construct a human proteome microarray. To demonstrate the usefulness of this reagent, we developed a streamlined strategy for the production of monospecific monoclonal antibodies that used immunization with live human cells and microarray-based analysis of antibody specificity as its central components. We showed that microarray-based analysis of antibody specificity can be performed efficiently using a two-dimensional pooling strategy. We also demonstrated that our immunization and selection strategies result in a large fraction of monospecific monoclonal antibodies that are both immunoblot and immunoprecipitation grade. Our data indicate that the pipeline provides a robust platform for the generation of monoclonal antibodies of exceptional specificity. 相似文献

1. A neutral proteinase (EC 3.4.-.-) with elastolytic activity was isolated from canine bloodstream leucocytes, and purified to apparent homogeneity by a two-step procedure consisting of DEAE-Sephadex chromatography and molecular sieving on Sephadex G-75. 2. The molecular weight of the enzyme was 23 500, and the absorbance (A1%1cm) at 282 nm was 6.1. Amino acid analysis showed high content of glycine, aspartic acid, and valine, and low proportion of methionine, lysine and histidine as well as the absence of tyrosine in the enzyme molecule. 3. The proteinase was active against several protein substrates as well as towards N-t-butyloxycarbonyl-L-alanine p-nitrophenyl ester, N-acetyl-L-alanyl-tyrosine ethyl ester. 4. The enzyme was inactivated by diisopropylfluorophosphate, N-acetyl-L-alanyl-L-alanyl-L-alanine chloromethyl ketone, and N-p-tosyl-L-phenylalanine chloromethyl ketone. Inhibition by some natural proteinase inhibitors was also noted. 相似文献

We previously demonstrated that extremely high amounts of N-terminal big gastrin (G-34) fragments are excreted in human urine and three of them are N-terminal octa-, nona-, and decapeptide of G-34. Our subsequent examination revealed that there exists a considerable amount of another N-terminal G-34 fragment in urine, less hydrophobic than the three peptides. We purified this fragment from urine of an achlorhydric patient and determined the structure: less than Glu-Leu-Gly-Pro-Gln-Gly. The purification was carried out by Sep-Pak C18 cartridges, Sephadex G-25, and reverse phase HPLC. The structure was determined by a combination of amino acid analysis, amino acid sequence analysis, and mass spectral analysis. N-terminal hexapeptide of G-34 is the second richest component of urinary N-terminal G-34 fragments next to N-terminal octapeptide of G-34 in normal subjects. 相似文献

Procollagen type III N-proteinase, of Mr about 70,000, was detected in human placental tissue and purified from this source more than 5800-fold. It was found to be a glycoprotein, which was bound to both concanavalin A-Ultrogel and heparin-Sepharose affinity columns. Binding to a type III pN-collagen-Sepharose affinity column was used as the final step in purification. The purified enzyme accepted only native type III procollagen or [14C]carboxymethylated type III pN-collagen as its substrate; type I, type II and type IV procollagen and heat-denatured type III pN-collagen were not cleaved by the enzyme. Antibodies against this purified enzyme protein raised in rabbits demonstrated a high inhibitory effect on the enzyme activity. Immunoblotting of the denatured protein and immunoelectrophoresis of the native enzyme showed only one major antigenic component, again with an Mr of about 70,000. The antibodies cross-reacted with the enzyme preparation from foetal-calf aorta smooth-muscle cells. 相似文献

Neutral sphingomyelinase: past, present and future 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Sphingomyelin and its metabolic products are now known to have second messenger functions in a variety of cellular signaling pathways. At the epicenter of the sphingomyelin--cell signaling pathway is a family of phospholipases called sphingomyelinases. These enzymes cleave sphingomyelin to produce ceramide and phosphocholine. Ceramide in turn serves as a lipid second messenger that induces a variety of cell regulatory phenomenon such as programmed cell death (apoptosis), cell differentiation, cell proliferation, and sterol homeostasis. Neutral sphingomyelinase (N-SMase) is a Mg2+ sensitive enzyme that can be activated by a host of physiologically relevant and structurally diverse molecules like tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), oxidized human low density lipoproteins (Ox-LDL), and several growth factors. Large amounts of ceramide accumulate in human fatty streaks and plaques along with Ox-LDL, growth factors, and proinflammatory cytokines in human atherosclerosis. A further role of ceramide and N-SMase in atherosclerosis was uncovered by the finding that Ox-LDL and TNF-alpha stimulated N-SMase activity. In turn, ceramide and/or a homolog serves as an important stress signaling molecule in signal transduction, which leads to apoptosis. Interestingly, an antibody against N-SMase can abrogate Ox-LDL and TNF-alpha induced apoptosis, and therefore may be useful for additional studies of apoptosis in experimental animals. Overexpression of recombinant human N-SMase in human aortic smooth muscle cells markedly stimulate apoptosis, presumably via the multioligomerization of the 'death domain'. Since plaque stability is an integral aspect of atherosclerosis management, activation of N-SMase and subsequent apoptosis may be vital events in the onset of plaque rupture, stroke and heart failure. In contrast to these observations in human hepatocytes, TNF-alpha mediated N-SMase activation did not induce apoptosis. Rather it stimulated the maturation of sterol regulatory element (SRE) binding protein (SREBP-1). Moreover, a cell permeable ceramide was found to reconstitute the phenomenon above in a sterol-independent fashion. These findings provide alternate avenues for therapy of patients with hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis. The findings reported here suggests that N-SMase plays important cell regulatory roles and provide an exciting opportunity to further these findings to understand the pathophysiology of human disease states. 相似文献

A ribonuclease has been isolated from human spleen (RNase HS) by means of acid extraction, ammonium sulphate fractionation, successive column chromatographies on CM-cellulose, heparin-actigel, and poly(G)-agarose, and double gel-filtration on Sephadex G-75. The purified preparation was homogeneous as judged by SDS/PAGE. RNase HS was found to be a glycoprotein, containing three fucose, one mannose and five glucosamine residues/molecule, with a molecular mass of 17 kDa as determined by both SDS/PAGE and gel filtration. The catalytic properties and structural features, including its amino acid composition and the amino acid sequence of the N-terminal 35 residues, indicated that the enzyme was strictly related to nonsecretory RNase isolated from human urine and liver. In particular, the amino acid sequence of the N-terminal was identical with that of urine nonsecretory RNase and eosinophil-derived neurotoxin. Furthermore, analyses using three different antibodies specific to RNase HS, urine nonsecretory RNase and urine secretory RNase, indicated that RNase HS was not immunologically distinguishable from urine nonsecretory RNase, but clearly so from urine secretory RNase. However, the carbohydrate compositions of RNase HS and urine nonsecretory RNase were found to differ. It therefore remains to be resolved whether or not the tissue of origin of nonsecretory RNase in urine is the spleen. 相似文献

Human placental sphingomyelinase activity was eluted as a single symmetrical peak from Sephadex G-200 with a molecular weight of 290000; however, the enzyme behaved heterogeneously on ion exchange chromatography. A specific species of sphingomyelinase was purified approx. 10 000-fold to a constant specific activity of 274 000 nanomol of sphingomyelin hydrolyzed per mg protein per h. When the purified enzyme was examined on sodium dodecyl sulfate disc gel electrophoresis, two distinct protein bands in approximately equal proportions with molecular weights of 36 800 and 28 300 were found. The specificity of the enzyme is directed towards both the hydrophilic phosphocholine and the hydrophobic ceramide moieties of sphingomyelin. Possible interrelationships between the heterogenous forms of placental sphingomyelinases are discussed. 相似文献
