Chemiluminescence systems enhanced by either isoluminol or luminol in combination with a peroxidase are sensitive methods for the detection of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by phagocyte NADPH oxidase. The two amplifying substrates are structurally very similar, differing only in the position of the amino group in the aromatic ring of the molecules. This difference renders isoluminol a less lipophilic molecule that is less permeable to biological membranes. The use of isoluminol is consequently restricted to studies dealing with the secretion of oxygen metabolites. In this study we show that synthetic peptides derived from the N‐terminal domain of the calcium‐regulated protein annexin AI interfere with the detection of radicals in an isoluminol‐amplified, but not in a luminol‐amplified, system. The annexin AI‐derived peptides reduce the light output with isoluminol excited by superoxide and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in formyl‐methionyl‐leucyl‐phenylalanine‐ and phorbol myristate acetate‐stimulated cells, as well as by hydrogen peroxide and HRP. The precise mechanism for the inhibition is not known. The results presented strongly suggest that a reduced cellular response detected with isoluminol‐amplified chemiluminescence should be confirmed with an alternative technique to determine release of superoxide anions and hydrogen peroxide.

We have earlier shown that an N-terminal truncated annexin I molecule, annexin I(des1-8), is generated in human neutrophils through cleavage by a membrane localized metalloprotease. The truncated protein showed differences in membrane binding among the neutrophil granule populations as compared to full-length annexin I. In this study, we investigated the cleavage capabilities of isolated neutrophil secretory vesicles and plasma membrane, and the binding of full-length annexin I and annexin I(des1-8) to these membrane fractions. Translocations were performed in vitro to secretory vesicles and plasma membrane, respectively, at different Ca(2+) concentrations. We show that the annexin I-cleaving membrane localized metalloprotease is present both in the secretory vesicles and the plasma membrane. The N-terminal truncation of annexin I gives rise to a molecule with a decreased Ca(2+) requirement for binding, both to secretory vesicles and plasma membrane. There was, thus, no difference in binding of either full-length annexin I or annexin I(des1-8) to the secretory vesicles as compared to the plasma membrane. 相似文献

Background
Upon serial passaging of mouse skeletal muscle cells, a small number of cells will spontaneously develop the ability to proliferate indefinitely while retaining the ability to differentiate into multinucleate myotubes. Possible gene changes that could underlie myogenic cell immortalization and their possible effects on myogenesis had not been examined. 相似文献5.
Annexin I is an abundant cytosolic protein in human neutrophils. Besides its intracellular location, annexin I is found as an extracellular protein and the pathway for secretion has been of interest since the protein lacks a signal sequence for secretion. It was recently shown that annexin I is stored in the secretory gelatinase granules of human neutrophils, suggesting that the protein might be released through a granule mobilisation and fusion process resembling classical secretion. In this study we have determined the intracellular localisation of annexin I in human neutrophils using subcellular fractionation, protein separation by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting, and show that virtually all annexin I is localised in the cell cytosol. 相似文献

Extracellular protein A from a methicillin-resistant strain of Staphylococcus aureus 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Protein A has been isolated from a methicillin-resistant strain of Staphylococcus aureus, A676, which produces only extracellular protein A. The material is homogeneous after a one-step separation and has a molecular weight of 41000. Its physicochemical and immunochemical properties have been studied. 相似文献

Background
The formylpeptide receptor family members FPR and FPRL1, expressed in myeloid phagocytes, belong to the G-protein coupled seven transmembrane receptor family (GPCRs). They share a high degree of sequence similarity, particularly in the cytoplasmic domains involved in intracellular signaling. The established model of cell activation through GPCRs states that the receptors isomerize from an inactive to an active state upon ligand binding, and this receptor transformation subsequently activates the signal transducing G-protein. Accordingly, the activation of human neutrophil FPR and FPRL1 induces identical, pertussis toxin-sensitive functional responses and a transient increase in intracellular calcium is followed by a secretory response leading to mobilization of receptors from intracellular stores, as well as a release of reactive oxygen metabolites. 相似文献8.
Detergent-resistant membrane domains (DRMs) are present in the membranes of azurophil granules in human neutrophils (Feuk-Lagerstedt et al., J. Leukoc. Biol. 2002, 72, 970). Using a proteomic approach, we have now identified 106 proteins in a DRM preparation from these granule membranes. Among these proteins were the lipid raft structural proteins flotillin-1 and -2, cytoskeletal proteins such as actin, vimentin and tubulin, and membrane fusion promoting proteins like annexins and dysferlin. Our results suggest that the azurophil granule membrane, in similarity to the plasma membrane, is an elaborate structure that takes part in intracellular signaling and functions other than the mere delivery of bactericidal effector molecules to the phagosome. 相似文献
