Two glycopeptide hydrolases, an endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase and peptide:N-glycanase (amidase), have been isolated from defatted jack bean meal by standard procedures involving differential solubility and column chromatography. The purified products appear to be free of contaminating proteases and exoglycosidases, and their substrate specificity has been explored with regard to both glycan and peptide structure of the substrates. The endoglycosidase appears to be specific for high mannose glycans; no hydrolysis of either hybrid or complex glycans has been observed. It shows limited activity with two intact glycoproteins, ribonuclease B and yeast invertase, and gives optimal rate with glycopeptides. Free glycan-Asn derivatives are poor substrates in comparison with glycopeptides or glycan-Asn derivatives where the alpha-amino group has been dansylated. The amidase will liberate both high mannose, hybrid, and asialo-complex glycans from both proteins and peptides, but many glycans in intact proteins or in long peptides are resistant to the amidase and become active as substrates only after further proteolytic cleavage. The best substrates appear to be those with the glycosylated asparagine no more than 4-5 residues in from either the NH2- or COOH-terminal end of the peptide. Sialylated glycans do not appear to be released by the amidase. 相似文献

Paradoxical rescue from ischemic lung injury by inhaled carbon monoxide driven by derepression of fibrinolysis 总被引:43,自引:0,他引:43
Carbon monoxide (CO) can arrest cellular respiration, but paradoxically, it is synthesized endogenously by heme oxygenase type 1 (Ho-1) in response to ischemic stress. Ho-1-deficient (Hmox1-/-) mice exhibited lethal ischemic lung injury, but were rescued from death by inhaled CO. CO drove ischemic protection by activating soluble guanylate cyclase and thereby suppressed hypoxic induction of the gene encoding plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) in mononuclear phagocytes, which reduced accrual of microvascular fibrin. CO-mediated ischemic protection observed in wild-type mice was lost in mice null for the gene encoding PAI-1 (Serpine1). These data establish a fundamental link between CO and prevention of ischemic injury based on the ability of CO to derepress the fibrinolytic axis. These data also point to a potential therapeutic use for inhaled CO. 相似文献

The original structure of a high-throughput screening hit obtained from an external vendor was revised based on multiple NMR studies. The active compound was re-synthesized via a novel route and its structure and biological activity as a BRS-3 agonist were unambiguously confirmed. Multi-gram quantities of the hit were prepared for pharmacokinetic and efficacy studies. The synthetic strategy allowed for the preparation of multiple analogs for SAR exploration. 相似文献

O6-Methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) repairs DNA damage caused by alkylating agents including N-nitroso compounds from diet. MGMT Ile143Val polymorphism may lead to less DNA damage repair and increased cancer risk depending on the environmental exposures. We investigated interactions between dietary factors and the MGMT Ile143Val polymorphism in relation to breast, colorectal and prostate cancer risk. There were 276/1498, 273/2984 and 312/1486 cases/controls for the breast, colorectal and prostate cancer studies respectively; all nested within the EPIC-Norfolk study, a prospective cohort of approximately 25,000 men and women aged 40–79. Baseline 7-day food diary data were collected for dietary assessment. MGMT Ile143Val polymorphism was not overall associated with breast, colorectal and prostate cancer risk. There was a significant interaction between this polymorphism and intake of red and processed meat on colorectal cancer risk (Pinteraction = 0.04) suggesting an increased risk among carriers of the variant genotype compared to the MGMT Ile143Ile common genotype. A lower colorectal cancer risk was seen with higher intake of vitamin E and carotene among the variant genotype group but not in the common genotype group (Pinteraction = 0.009 and Pinteraction = 0.005 for vitamin E and carotene, respectively). A higher prostate cancer risk was seen with higher alcohol intake among the variant genotype (OR = 2.08, 95% CI = 1.21–3.57, Pinteraction = 0.0009) compared to the common genotype with lower alcohol intake. In this UK population, the MGMT Ile143Val polymorphism was not overall associated with breast, colorectal and prostate cancer risk. There was evidence for this polymorphism playing a role in modulating the risk of prostate cancer in presence of alcohol. For colorectal cancer, the MGMT Ile143Val polymorphism may confer increased or decreased risk depending on the dietary exposure. 相似文献

The covalent structure of individual N-linked glycopeptides from ovomucoid and asialofetuin 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
In order to explore whether individual N-linked glycans in a given glycoprotein may be processed to different end products and at the same time prepare a number of well characterized glycopeptides as substrates for glycopeptide hydrolases, we have prepared the individual glycopeptides representing the four major glycosylation sites in ovomucoid and the three sites in asialofetuin. The individual glycopeptides were characterized by amino acid sequence determination before and after removal of the glycan by peptide:N-glycanase (amidase), and the liberated glycans were subjected to mass spectrometric analysis. As expected from available sugar analyses of the individual glycans in ovomucoid, no major differences were detected between the four glycosylation sites in this glycoprotein, but a definite trend toward less processed (less extensively branched) species was observed in going from site 1 to 4. In fetuin, for which the glycan pool is known to be made up of about two-thirds triantennary and one-third biantennary structures, the analysis of the three glycopeptides gave triantennary to biantennary ratios of 75/25, 67/33, and 70/30, respectively, demonstrating that the three sites are processed to a very similar, albeit perhaps not identical, extent. All the glycopeptides obtained in these studies, including the CNBr-produced glycopeptide from ovalbumin, were purified by a set series of steps, gel filtration on Sephadex G-50 followed by ion-exchange chromatography on DE52 and/or reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography. Based on the results, these procedures appear to have general application for the preparation of glycopeptides. 相似文献
