(p-Amidinophenyl)methanesulfonyl fluoride, an irreversible inhibitor of serine proteases

p-(Amidinophenyl)methanesulfonyl fluoride (p-APMSF) has been synthesized and shown to be a specific, irreversible inhibitor of the class of plasma serine proteases which demonstrate substrate specificity for the positively charged side chains of the amino acid lysine or arginine. In equimolar concentration, this compound causes immediate and complete irreversible inhibition of bovine trypsin and human thrombin. A 5-10-fold molar excess of reagent over enzyme is required to achieve complete irreversible inhibition of bovine Factor Xa, human plasmin, human C1-r, and human C1-s. the Ki of p-APMSF for all of the above-mentioned proteases is between 1 and 2 microM. In contrast, p-APMSF in large molar excess does not inactivate chymotrypsin or acetylcholinesterase. The unique reactivity of p-APMSF has been further shown in comparison with the related compound p-nitrophenyl (p-amidinophenyl)methanesulfonate which is an active-site titrant for thrombin but reacts poorly with Factor Xa, C1-r, and C1-s and is not hydrolyzed by bovine trypsin or human plasmin. Similarly, (p-amidinophenyl)methanesulfonate has a Ki of 30 microM for thrombin but is a poor inhibitor of trypsin, Factor Xa, C1-r, C1-s, and plasmin. Studies with bovine trypsin have demonstrated that the inhibitory activity of p-APMSF is the result of its interaction with the diisopropyl fluorophosphate reactive site. The unique reactivity of this inhibitor classifies it as one of the most effective active site directed reagents for this class of serine proteases. Collectively, these results suggest that the primary substrate binding site of these enzymes, which share a high degree of structural homology, do in fact significantly differ from each other in their ability to interact with low molecular weight inhibitors and synthetic substrates.     

Calcium antagonists in hypertension: relation to abnormal sodium transport.

Leucocyte sodium efflux rate constants and intracellular electrolyte contents were estimated in 13 patients with untreated essential hypertension. There was no correlation between intracellular sodium or potassium content or efflux rate constant and blood pressure. The patients were then treated with oral nifedipine and blood pressure controlled. Sodium efflux rate constants and electrolyte contents were estimated one and three months after the start of treatment. There was a significant fall in blood pressure, but mean sodium efflux rate constant and intracellular sodium content were unchanged. There was no correlation between the fall in blood pressure, initial sodium efflux, or intracellular sodium content. These data do not support the hypothesis that the sodium pump and intracellular sodium content have a direct role in generating raised blood pressure, or that treatment of hypertension with calcium antagonists corrects a fundamental alteration of calcium-sodium exchange across the cell membrane.     

Release of heat pretreatment-induced dormancy in lettuce seeds by ethylene or cytokinin in relation to the production of ethylene and the synthesis of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid during germination

The germination of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) seeds was greatly reduced when the seeds were heated at 97°C for 30 h prior to imbibition. This dormancy was effectively released when ethylene (1–100 ppm) or benzyladenine (BA) (0.005–0.05 mM) was applied during the imbibition period. Ethylene was not required during the early part of imbibition, but was essential during the period immediately prior to radicle protrusion. Treatment with 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) (0.1–10 mM) stimulated germination, but was not as effective as ethylene or cytokinin treatment. During the germination of nondormant lettuce seeds, ethylene production increased rapidly and reached a peak at 24 h, which coincided with the emergence of the radicle, and then declined; the level of ACC increased as ethylene production rate increased, but remained at a high level after radicle protrusion. In heat-pretreated dormant lettuce seeds, the increases in percent germination, ethylene production, and ACC levels were all delayed and lower than those of nondormant seeds, and these increases were accelerated by treatment with ethylene or cytokinin.
