(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.

恒河猴心房利钠多肽的分离、纯化及活性研究

<正> 1983年以来,人们相继从人和大鼠等动物的心房中分离到心房利钠多肽(ANP)。但对非人灵长类动物——恒河猴的ANP了解甚少。由于ANP对机体循环系统的调节起着重要作用,其强大的降压、利钠、利尿的生理功能,在心血管疾病的防治方面具有重要意义。我们曾报导过恒河猴心房肌细胞中存在着大量的ANP样物质,随后对此物质进行了分离、纯化及活性检测,现简报如下。

急进高海拔时健康人夜间睡眠、呼吸状态和血氧饱和度的变化

在海拔2300m选择健康成年男性5人,急进抵海拔4660m,用多导监测仪分别在两地连续7h监测夜间睡眠、呼吸状态和血氧饱和度变化,进行自身对比。结果发现:(1)急进高海拔后,总睡眠时间、有效睡眠指数、Ⅲ～Ⅳ期深睡眠均较中度高原减少(p<0.01);总觉醒时间、Ⅰ～Ⅱ期浅睡眠高海拔较中度高原增多(p<0.05):(2)急进高海拔后,有3名健康人出现周期性呼吸,其中1名健康者出现周期性呼吸119次,伴有中枢性睡眠呼吸暂停,最低Sao_2为78％;(3)同海拔高度夜间睡眠时与清醒时Sao_2相比较,中度高原下降4.2％,高海拔下降11.2％(p<0.01);高海拔与中度高原夜间清醒时Sao_2相比较下降7.4％,睡眠时下降14.4％(p<0.001)。结果提示:(1)睡眠加重了高原人原有的低氧血症;(2)低氧血症导致睡眠结构的紊乱和睡眠质量的降低;(3)睡眠中出现的周期性呼吸,应视为机体的一种自我保护机制;(4)频发的周期性呼吸或睡眠呼吸暂停将影响大脑机能。     

A simplified method for the determination of nitric oxide in biological solutions.

A new simplified procedure for determination of nitric oxide (NO) in biological solutions is described utilizing a new reducing system of nitric oxide prior to chemiluminescence. Advantages of the new method makes heating of the reducing solution unnecessary and avoids cooling and condensation of generated vapors. Only traces of acid with a high boiling point are used. The method permits analysis of small sample volumes (200 microL). The basal production of nitric oxide by freshly harvested endothelial cells ranged from 100 to 880 picomoles.     

Inspection and feeding of larvae by worker honey bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae): Effect of starvation and food quantity

Honey bee larvae are frequently inspected and, sometimes, provided with food by adult workers, but the stimuli that elicit the important task of food provisioning have never been investigated. Larvae with their food experimentally deprived received more frequent inspection and feeding visits from nurse bees than normally fed larvae, suggesting that there could be a hunger signal. Food-deprived larvae with artificially supplied larval food received the same rate of feeding visits from nurse bees as did normally fed larvae but still received more inspection visits. These results suggest that stimuli eliciting feeding are different from those for inspection. They also support the hypothesis that worker bees deposit food in a larval cell only when the quantity of food is below a certain minimum threshold that is perceived during larval inspections. A model is presented regarding the stimuli from larvae that result in worker feeding behavior.     

Temporal relationships betweenZea mays,ostrinia nubilalis (Lep.: Pyralidae) and endophyticBeauveria bassiana

The entomopathogenic fungus,Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin, was applied to whorl-stage (V7) corn,Zea mays L., by foliar application of a granular formulation of corn grits containing conidia or by injection of a conidial suspension. All plants were infested with European corn borer larvae,Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner), at the V7 (whorl), V12 (late-whorl), or V17 (pretassel) stage of plant development. Plants infested at whorl and late-whorl stages had significantly more European corn borer tunneling than did plants infested at the pretassel stage. The percentage of plants colonized byB. bassiana did not differ significantly among the whorl, late-whorl, and pretassel stages. As the plants matured,B. bassiana was isolated from different plant areas, with the pith more frequently colonized than the leaf collars. Foliar application ofB. bassiana provided immediate suppression ofO. nubilalis in those plants infested at whorl stage. The reduced efficacy ofB. bassiana at the intermediate plant stages relative to efficacy at harvest is discussed.
