A thiol protease inhibitor was purified from rat liver by a rapid procedure involving heat treatment of the post-lysosomal fraction, affinity chromatography on papain-Sepharose 4B and Sephadex G-75. The purified inhibitor appeared homogeneous on sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis. The inhibitor had a molecular weight of about 11,500 and consisted of three forms (pI 4.9, 5.2 and 5.6). The preparation inhibited thiol proteases, such as papain, cathepsin H, cathepsin B and cathepsin L, but not serine proteases (trypsin, chymotrypsin, mast cell protease and cathepsin A) or cathepsin D. 相似文献

The thiol protease was purified from adult Paragonimus ohirai by alpha 1-antitrypsin-Sepharose, Sephadex G-75 and CM-cellulose, measuring its activities to hydrolyze hemoglobin and tosyl-L-lysine alpha-naphthyl-ester. The purified protease showed a single band on polyacrylamide disc gel isoelectrophoresis as zymogram with Tos-Lys-NE and also by protein staining, and its pI was found to be 6.4. The molecular weight was calculated to be 29,000 by gel filtration and 27,000 by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis as a single polypeptide. The protease hydrolyzed hemoglobin and Tos-Lys-NE optimally at pH 4.0 and 5.0, respectively. The both hydrolyzing activities were inhibited by alpha 1-AT and soybean trypsin inhibitor as well as thiol protease inhibitors such as antipain, E-64 and p-hydroxymercuriphenylsulfonate. These results indicate that this enzyme is a new type thiol protease. 相似文献

A calcium-dependent protease, previously identified in rat liver and designated peak II [DeMartino, G. N. (1981) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 211, 253-257], was purified and characterized. The calcium-dependent proteolytic activity was accounted for by an 80 000-dalton protein. Depending on the method of purification, we found that this protease could be associated with a 28 000-dalton subunit, which was devoid of protease activity. The catalytic characteristics of the two different forms of the protease were indistinguishable. Each was half-maximally activated by approximately 250 microM calcium. 相似文献

Intraperitoneal administration of leupeptin to rats induced a hemoglobin-hydrolyzing protease which was most active at pH 3.5 and was insensitive to pepstatin in various tissues such as the liver, kidney, and muscle, as observed previously in adult rat hepatocytes in primary culture (Tanaka, K., Ikegaki, N., and Ichihara, A. (1979) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 91, 102-107). The induced acidic protease was purified about 600-fold in 30% yield from rat liver by conventional chromatographic techniques. The purified enzyme appeared homogeneous by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence or absence of sodium dodecyl sulfate and was a monomeric protein of Mr = 20,000. The enzyme appeared to be a glycoprotein because its induction was blocked by the addition of tunicamycin to cultures of hepatocytes and because the induced protease was absorbed on concanavalin A-Sepharose and eluted with methylglucoside. It seemed to be present in lysosomes and was fairly stable at various pH values and temperatures. It showed endopeptidase activity on various protein substrates, but scarcely hydrolyzed N-substituted derivatives of arginine. It did not hydrolyze esters, showed no aminopeptidase or carboxypeptidase activity, and did not inactivate glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase or aldolase. The enzyme appeared to be a thiol protease, since it was strongly inhibited by sulfhydryl-reactive compounds and N-( [N-(1-3-trans-carboxyoxiran-2-carbonyl)-L-leucyl]-agmatine and was not inhibited by reagents specific for carboxyl-, serine-, or metalloproteases. This induced protease could be separated from cathepsins B, D, and H by chromatography. The enzyme was similar to cathepsin L in chromatographic behavior, Mr and pI, but differed from the latter in stability and in its inability to inactivate some enzymes. These results suggest that it differs from any known proteases found previously in rat liver. 相似文献

A thiol proteinase inhibitor was purified from rat liver by essentially the same procedure as reported previously (Kominami, E., Wakamatsu, N., and Katunuma, N. (1981) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 99, 568-575), but without heat treatment. The purified inhibitor appears homogeneous on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with and without sodium dodecyl sulfate and displayed no multiple forms. The inhibitor has Mr = 12,500 and contains 50.5% of polar amino acid residues, 9.3% aromatic amino acids, and no tryptophan. The presence of 2 half-cystines/molecule and the absence of free thiol groups indicate that the inhibitor possesses one disulfide bridges. The inhibitor inhibits cathepsin H by forming an enzyme-inhibitor complex in a molar ratio of 1:1. It inhibits most thiol proteinases such as cathepsin H, L, B, and C, papain, and ficin, but not calcium-activated neutral proteinase or serine proteinases or carboxyl proteinases. The inhibitor was found in various rat tissues. Immunological diffusion analysis with anti-liver thiol proteinase inhibitor serum indicated that the rat liver inhibitor is immunologically identical with the inhibitors from other rat tissues. On subcellular fractionation of rat liver, the thiol proteinase inhibitor was recovered in the cytosol fraction. 相似文献

1. A neutral thiol protease was isolated from the extract of larvae of the mammalian trematode parasite, Paragonimus westermani metacercariae, by arginine-Sepharose, Ultrogel AcA-54 and DEAE-toyopearl column chromatography, measuring its activity by the hydrolysis of Boc-Val-Leu-Lys-MCA as a substrate. 2. The molecular weight of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 22,000 as a single polypeptide by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and was estimated to be 20,000 by size exclusion high-performance liquid chromatography. 3. The activity was suppressed by antipain, E-64, leupeptin, chymostatin, N-tosyl-L-lysine chloromethyl ketone, but was not affected by metallo protease inhibitors or serine protease inhibitors. 4. Studies on the substrate specificity showed that the enzyme hydrolyzed Boc-Val-Leu-Lys-MCA, Z-Phe-Arg-MCA, fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled collagen, azocoll and casein. 5. The enzyme was found to hydrolyze peptide bonds of oxidized insulin B chain preferentially at the carboxy side of hydrophobic and basic amino acids. 相似文献

A DNA ligase has been extensively purified from nuclei of rat livers. The ligase seals single strand nicks in DNA with any of the four usual bases on either the 3 or 5 sides. It requires ATP and a divalent cation (Mg-2plus or Mn-2plus) for activity. At low Mg-2plus concentrations the activity is greatly stimulated by a variety of monovalent cations. Relatively small excesses of either monovalent or divalent cation above the amounts which give maximal activity lead to inhibition of activity. Poly(G) and poly(I) inhibit ligase activity; several other polyribonucleotides are not inhibitory. Low concentrations of inorganic pyrophosphate are inhibitory. The molecular weight of the ligase is estimated from gel filtration to be about 10 times 10-4. 相似文献

A DNA kinase has been partially purified from rat liver nuclei by a procedure which also yields DNA ligase. The kinase uses ATP to phosphorylate specifically the 5'-hydroxyl termini of oligodeoxynucleotides and of single- or double-stranded DNA, yielding 5'-phosphate termini and ADP. The kinase is inactive on RNA, or on oligodeoxynucleotides of chain length less than approximately 10 to 12 residues. The kinase requires a divalent cation (Mg2+, Mn2+, Co2+, Zn2+, Ni2+, or Ca2+) for activity and has an acidic pH optimum. It is inhibited by a variety of nucleotides as well as by very low levels of inorganic and organic sulfate compounds and sulfate analogues. The molecular weight of the kinase is estimated to be 8 times 10(4) from gel filtration. 相似文献

A processing protease has been purified from the matrix fraction of rat liver mitochondria. The purified protease contained two protein subunits of 55 kd (P-55) and 52 kd (P-52) as determined by SDS-PAGE. The processing protease was estimated to be 105 kd in gel filtration, indicating that the two protein subunits form a heterodimeric complex. At high ionic conditions, the two subunits dissociated. The purified processing protease cleaved several mitochondrial protein precursors destined to different mitochondrial compartments, including adrenodoxin, malate dehydrogenase, P-450(SCC) and P-450(11 beta), but the processing efficiencies were different each other. The endoprotease nature of the processing protease was confirmed with the purified enzyme using adrenodoxin precursor as the substrate; both the mature form and the extension peptide were detected after the processing. The processing activity of the protease was inhibited by metal chelators, and reactivated by Mn2+, indicating that the protease is a metalloprotease. 相似文献

A major endonuclease has been purified approximately 800-fold from rat liver nuclei using poly(A) as substrate. The enzyme had a molecular weight of about 50,000, and active fractions were obtained which contained no nucleic acid. Enzymatic activity was optimal between pH 6 and 7 and was totally dependent on the presence of a divalent cation. The reaction was inhibited by high ionic strength, polydextran sulfate, heparin, and sodium pyrophosphate. The purified enzyme readily hydrolyzed poly(A), poly(U), poly(C), and denatured DNA, whereas poly(G) was not degraded, and transfer RNA, ribosomal RNA, and native DNA were hydrolyzed only at relatively slow rates. These data suggest that the enzyme may be specific for single-stranded polynucleotides. The purified enzyme was essentially devoid of exonuclease activity, and the products of exhaustive endonuclease digestion of poly(A) were small oligonucleotides terminated with a 5'-phosphoryl group. Evidence was obtained that this endonuclease is localized in the nucleoplasm. Possible functions for this activity are discussed. 相似文献

1. Nuclei of regenerating rat liver washed with Triton X-100 were found to contain a new protease. Since the enzymatic activity for degrading ribosomal proteins was inhibited in vivo by administration of E-64, a thiol protease inhibitor, the enzyme may participate in the degradation of newly synthesized ribosomal proteins and histones in regenerating rat liver nuclei as reported previously by us [Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 75, 525-531 (1077)]. The optimum pH was 5.5. 2. The enzyme was extracted from washed nuclei and partially purified by gel filtration through Sepharose 6B. Its molecular weight was about 40 000. A maximal activity of partially purified enzyme was observed in the presence of 1 mM EDTA and 2 mM dithiothreitol at pH 5.5 It was inhibited by thio reagents, E-64, leupeptin and hevy metal ions. The enzyme degraded ribosomal proteins endoproteolytically and degraded most proteins tested as substrates, although liver cell sap proteins and serum albumin were less degraded than ribosomal proteins and histones, alpha-N-Benzoylarginine-beta-naphthylamide and benzoylarginine amide were not hydrolyzed. 相似文献

1. Differences in washing procedures and conditions of dialysis affected the type of histone f3 obtained from rat liver and thymus nuclei. 2. Sulphur-rich preparations of f3 contained phosphate and had SH+SS: phosphorus ratio 1:2. 3. Sulphur-rich f3 from livers of [(14)C]adenine-labelled rats gave counts indicating a phosphorus: adenine ratio 1:1. 4. Evidence was presented that histones f3 and f1 exist in nuclei as families of proteins, differing with respect to their sulphur or phosphorus content or both. 5. The significance of the different states of phosphorylation and oxidation of histones f1 and f3 was discussed. 相似文献

A thiol protease was isolated and purified from the crown leaf of pineapple, Ananas comosus (L.) Merr. cv. Queen, by an immunoaffinity procedure. After the purification to electrophoretic homogeneity, the enzyme was characterized with respect to some of its physico-chemical and kinetic properties. The molecular weight of the protease (22.4-22.9 kDa), Km (97 microM) and kcat (8.8 s(-1)) for its esterolytic cleavage of the synthetic protease substrate N(alpha)-CBZ-L-lysine p-nitrophenyl ester, the concentration of its thiol activator L-cysteine required for half maximal activation A0.5 (9.9 microM), optimum pH (6.5) for its proteolytic action on azocasein, T(1/2) (60 degrees C) for inactivation by heating the enzyme (35.5 microg protein/mL) in citrate buffer pH 6.0 for 15 min, and SH-group content (0.98 mol/mol enzyme) were determined. Most of these physicochemical and kinetic properties were found to be similar to those of the already well-characterized stem bromelain (EC 3.4.22.32). Thus, the immunoaffinity purified crown leaf protease appeared to be closely related to stem bromelain. 相似文献
