Previous studies from this laboratory have indicated that tricyclohexyltin hydroxide (Plictran) is a potent inhibitor of both basal- and isoproterenol-stimulated cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+-ATPase, with an estimated IC-50 of 2.5 X 10(-8) M. The present studies were initiated to evaluate the mechanism of inhibition of Ca2+-ATPase by Plictran. Data on substrate and cationic activation kinetics of Ca2+-ATPase indicated alteration of Vmax and Km by Plictran (1 and 5 X 10(-8) M), suggesting a mixed type of inhibition. The beta-adrenergic agonist isoproterenol increased Vmax of both ATP- and Ca2+-dependent enzyme activities. However, the Km of enzyme was decreased only for Ca2+. Plictran inhibited isoproterenol-stimulated Ca2+-ATPase activity by altering both Vmax and Km of ATP as well as Ca2+-dependent enzyme activities, suggesting that after binding to a single independent site, Plictran inhibits enzyme catalysis by decreasing the affinity of enzyme for ATP as well as for Ca2+. Preincubation of enzyme with 15 microM cAMP or the addition of 2mM ATP to the reaction mixture resulted in slight activation of Plictran-inhibited enzyme. Pretreatment of SR with 5 X 10(-7) M propranolol and 5 X 10(-8) M Plictran resulted in inhibition of basal activity in addition to the loss of stimulated activity. Preincubation of heart SR preparation with 5 X 10(-5) M coenzyme A in combination with 5 X 10(-8) M Plictran partly restored the beta-adrenergic stimulation. These results suggest that some critical sites common to both basal- and beta-adrenergic-stimulated Ca2+-ATPase are sensitive to binding by Plictran, and the resultant conformational change may lead to inhibition of beta-adrenergic stimulation. 相似文献

Urease is an important enzyme both in agriculture and medicine research. Strategies based on urease inhibition is critically
considered as the first line treatment of infections caused by urease producing bacteria. Since, urease possess agro-chemical and
medicinal importance, thus, it is necessary to search for the novel compounds capable of inhibiting this enzyme. Several
computational methods were employed to design novel and potent urease inhibitors in this work. First docking simulations of
known compounds consists of a set of arylidine barbiturates (termed as reference) were performed on the Bacillus pasteurii (BP)
urease. Subsequently, two fold strategies were used to design new compounds against urease. Stage 1 comprised of the energy
minimization of enzyme-ligand complexes of reference compounds and the accurate prediction of the molecular mechanics
generalized born (MMGB) interaction energies. In the second stage, new urease inhibitors were then designed by the substitution
of different groups consecutively in the aryl ring of the thiobarbiturates and N, N-diethyl thiobarbiturates of the reference ligands..
The enzyme-ligand complexes with lowest interaction energies or energies close to the calculated interaction energies of the
reference molecules, were selected for the consequent chemical manipulation. This was followed by the substitution of different
groups on the 2 and 5 positions of the aryl ring. As a result, several new and potent diethyl thiobarbiturates were predicted as
urease inhibitors. This approach reflects a logical progression for early stage drug discovery that can be exploited to successfully
identify potential drug candidates. 相似文献

Human alpha fetoprotein (AFP) binds bilirubin with an affinity somewhat lower than albumin. Free bilirubin was found to have an extinction maximum at 440 nm with an extinction coefficient of 4.97 x 10(4) M-1cm-1. AFP binding with the bile pigment elicits a blue shift while albumin interaction produced red spectral shift. 相似文献

Rat liver tyrosine aminotransferase was purified 200-fold and an antiserum raised against it in rabbits. 2. Hepatic tyrosine aminotransferase activity was increased fourfold by tyrosine, twofold by tetracycline, 2.5-fold by cortisone 21-acetate and ninefold by a combination of tyrosine and cortisol administered intraperitoneally to rats. 3. Radioimmunoassay with 14C-labelled tyrosine aminotransferase, in conjunction with rabbit antiserum against the enzyme, revealed that cortisol stimulates the synthesis of the enzyme de novo, but that tetracycline has no such effect. 4. Incubation of rat liver homogenates with purified tyrosine aminotransferase in vitro leads to a rapid inactivation of the enzyme, which tetracycline partially inhibits. 5. The inactivation is brought about by intact lysosomes, and the addition of 10mM-cysteine increases the rate of enzyme inactivation, which is further markedly increased by 10mM-Mg2+ and 10mM-ATP. Here again tetracycline partially inhibits the decay rate, leading to the inference that the increase of tyrosine aminotransferase activity in vivo by tetracycline is brought about by the latter inhibiting the lysosomal catheptic action. 相似文献

Monospecific anti-rat serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) IgG was coupled to cyanogen bromide-activated Sepharose-4B (4.5 mg/ml packed volume of gel) to yield an immunoaffinity matrix. The immunoaffinity column was used to isolate AFP from feto-neonatal rat brain. The purified AFP was immunologically and electrophoretically similar to serum AFP. It yielded a single band with a molecular weight of 70,000 on sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the protein under nondenaturing conditions yielded two charge variants of AFP, reminiscent of AFP from feto-neonatal rat serum. The AFP was observed to bind estradiol with Ka = 5.8 X 10(8) M -1 and 1.3 X 10(8) M -1 by dextran-coated charcoal adsorption and Sephadex gel filtration techniques, respectively. Newborn rat brain cells linearly incorporated [14C]leucine into immunoprecipitable AFP during 6 h in culture. It is, therefore, concluded that feto-neonatal rat brain contains AFP similar to that present in fetal serum and that it may arise in brain as a result of its in situ synthesis. 相似文献
