Cysteine Proteinase Inhibitor

Human plasma alpha-cysteine proteinase inhibitor (alpha CPI) was purified by a two-stage method: affinity chromatography on S-carboxymethyl-papain-Sepharose, and high-resolution anion-exchange chromatography. The protein was obtained as a form of Mr about 64 000 and material of higher Mr (about 100 000). In sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis with reduction, both forms showed a major component of Mr 64 000. An antiserum was raised against alpha CPI, and ‘rocket’ immunoassays showed the mean concentration in sera from 19 individuals to be 35.9 mg/dl. Both low-Mr and high-Mr forms of alpha CPI were confirmed to be sialoglycoproteins by the decrease in electrophoretic mobility after treatment with neuraminidase. alpha CPI was shown immunologically to be distinct from antithrombin III and alpha 1-antichymotrypsin, two serine proteinase inhibitors from plasma with somewhat similar Mr values. alpha CPI was also distinct from cystatins A and B, the two intracellular low-Mr cysteine proteinase inhibitors from human liver. Complexes of alpha CPI with papain were detectable in immunoelectrophoresis, but dissociated to free enzyme and intact inhibitor in sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The stoichiometry of binding of papain was close to 1:1 for both low-Mr and high-Mr forms. alpha CPI was found to be a tight-binding inhibitor of papain and human cathepsins H and L (Ki 34 pM, 1.1 nM and 62 pM respectively). By contrast, inhibition of cathepsin B was much weaker, Ki being about 35 microM. Dipeptidyl peptidase I also was weakly inhibited. Digestion of alpha CPI with bromelain gave rise to an inhibitory fragment of Mr about 22 000, which was isolated.

The glutathione S-transferases are dimeric enzymes whose subunits can be defined by their mobility during sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis as Yf (Mr 24,500), Yk (Mr 25,000), Ya (Mr 25,500), Yn (Mr 26,500), Yb1 (Mr 27,000), Yb2 (Mr 27,000) and Yc (Mr 28,500) [Hayes (1986) Biochem. J. 233, 789-798]. Antisera were raised against each of these subunits and their specificities assessed by immuno-blotting. The transferases in extrahepatic tissues were purified by using, sequentially, S-hexylglutathione and glutathione affinity chromatography. Immune-blotting was employed to identify individual transferase polypeptides in the enzyme pools from various organs. The immuno-blots showed marked tissue-specific expression of transferase subunits. In contrast with other subunits, the Yk subunit showed poor affinity for S-hexylglutathione-Sepharose 6B in all tissues examined, and subsequent use of glutathione and glutathione affinity chromatography. Immuno-blotting was employed to identify a new cytosolic polypeptide, or polypeptides, immunochemically related to the Yk subunit but with an electrophoretic mobility similar to that of the Yc subunit; high concentrations of the new polypeptide(s) are present in colon, an organ that lacks Yc.

Axenic Growth

Amoebae of the slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum AX2 possess only low UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase activity when grown on autoclaved Klebsiella aerogenes (approx. 30 units/mg of protein), but accumulate the enzyme to approx. 150-200 units/mg of protein during vegetative growth in axenic medium. The vegetative accumulation of UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase by axenically grown cells is prevented if autoclaved K. aerogenes are included in the axenic medium, suggesting the absence of a specific inducer. Affinity chromatography using anti-(UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase) antibody and sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis indicate that the enzyme accumulated during axenic growth and that normally accumulated during development are immunologically cross-reactive and that both are composed of two subunits with mol.wts. 55,600 and 57,500 present in approximately equal amounts in the active enzyme.

Protein Components

ABSTRACTSince Fasciola sp. contained proteolytic enzyme(s), it was confirmed that degradation took place in protein components in extracts of the liver flukes, which resulted in lack of clarity of sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Degradation was shown to occur mostly during a heating process of the extract samples. The proteolytic activity in the extracts was completely blocked and electrophoretic patterns were improved only by the use of cysteine proteinase inhibitor N-[N-(L-3-trans-carboxyoxiran-2-carbonyl)-L-leucyl]-agmatine (E-64). Great improvement was also noted in electrophoretic patterns of the extracts of other trematodes, such as Paragonimus westermani, P. miyazakii and Clonorchis sinensis, when their extracts were treated with E-64.

Total RNA was isolated from cyanoblast-containing tissue taken from behind the compound eye of the horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphemus. Poly(A)-containing RNA separated from this by affinity chromatography on oligo(dT)-cellulose was translated in the rabbit reticulocyte haemolysate system in the presence of L-[35S]methionine. By using an antiserum to Limulus haemocyanin, polypeptides were isolated from the translation products which had a similar mobility to the authentic Limulus haemocyanin polypeptides as judged by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis.

Sepharose 4B

1. The subunits were isolated of modeccin (subsequently referred to as modeccin 4B), the toxin purified from the roots of Adenia digitata by affinity chromatography on Sepharose 4B [Gasperi-Campani, Barbieri, Lorenzoni, Montanaro, Sperti, Bonetti & Stirpe (1978) Biochem J. 174, 491-496]. They are an A subunit (mol.wt. 26 000), which inhibits protein synthesis, and a B subunit (mol.wt. 31 000), which binds to cells. Both sununits, as well as intact modeccin, gave single bands on sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, but showed some heterogeneity on isoelectric focusing and on polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis at pH 9.5. 2. A second form of modeccin, not retained by Sepharose 4B, was purified by affinity chromatography on acid-treated Sepharose 6B: this form is subsequently termed modeccin 6B 3. Modeccin 6B has a molecular weight indistinguishable from that of modeccin 4B, and consists of two subunits of mol.wts. 27 000 and 31 000, joined by a disulphide bond. The subunits were not isolated because of their high insolubility in the absence of sodium dodecyl sulphate. 4. As compared with modeccin 4B, modeccin 6B is slightly less toxic to animals, does not agglutinate erythrocytes, and is a more potent inhibitor of protein synthesis in a lysate of rabbit reticulocytes, giving 50% inhibition at the concentration of 0.31 microgram/ml.

Sepharose 4B

Lipoprotein lipase (EC 3.1.1.34) extracted from adipose tissue of glucose-fed rats with 5 mM-sodium barbital, pH 7.5, containing 20% (v/v) glycerol and 0.1% (v/v) Triton X-100, was partially purified by affinity chromatography on heparin linked to Sepharose 4B. Sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis of the partially purified enzyme preparation revealed the presence of two major Coomassie-staining bands (mol.wts. 62 000 and 56 000) as well as a number of minor bands. Treatment of partially purified enzyme with [1,3-3H]di-isopropyl fluorophosphate resulted in the incorporation of radiolabel into the band of mol.wt. 56 000, but not into the band of mol.wt. 62 000. Both the amount of the 56 000-mol.wt. polypeptide and the incorporation of [1,3-3H]di-isopropyl fluorophosphate into this band were greatly reduced in the enzyme preparations isolated from adipose tissue of 48 h-starved rats. whereas the amount of the 62 000-mol.wt. polypeptide was unaffected by starvation. Purification of lipoprotein lipase from adipose tissue of glucose-fed rats was also carried out using affinity chromatography on Sepharose 4B linked to heparin with low affinity for antithrombin-III. This procedure resulted in the presence of a single band of mol.wt. 56 000 on sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. These results suggest that the polypeptide of mol.wt. 56 000 corresponds to the subunit of lipoprotein lipase, whereas the 62 000-mol.wt. polypeptide probably represents antithrombin-III.

Isolation And Characterization

A rat liver mannan-binding protein was isolated by affinity chromatography on invertase–Sepharose by a modification of the method of Kawasaki, Etoh & Yamashina [(1978) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 81, 1018-1024] and by a new method involving chromatography on mannose-Sepharose. The binding protein appears as a single band on sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis with an apparent mol.wt. of approx. 30000. Binding of 125I-labelled mannan is saturable and inhibited by mannose, N-acetylglucosamine, or L-fucose but not by galactose or mannose 6-phosphate. Neoglycoproteins containing mannose, N-acetylglucosamine, or L-fucose, but not galactose, are inhibitory. The neoglycoproteins are 10000-fold more effective (based on moles of sugar) than are free monosaccharides as inhibitors. 125I-labelled mannan binding to the binding protein is calcium-dependent.

Sedimentation Equilibrium

Alpha2-M (alpha2-macroglobulin) was purified from human plasma by two different procedures. As well as having no detectable impurities by the usual criteria for testing the homogeneity of protein preparations, these alpha2M preparations showed a single component, after reduction in urea, of 185000 daltons by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight of the alpha2M was found to be 718000 by sedimentation equilibrium experiments using the gravimetrically determined -v of 0.731 ml/g. The interaction of several proteinases with alpha2M was studied by using a novel discontinuous polyacrylamide-gel system, which showed clear separation of the enzyme-complexed alpha2M from the free alpha2M. These studies indicated that urokinase, as well as trypsin, chymotrypsin, plasmin and thrombin forms complexes with alphaM. The cleavage of the 185000-dalton subunit to a 85000-dalton species on interaction of trypsin with alpha2M was demonstrated by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis after reduction of the alpha2M-trypsin complex in urea. The amino acid composition, carbohydrate content, absorption coefficient at 280 nm, the specific refractive increment and the sedimentation coefficient for these alpha2M preparations were measured. The stability of the trypsin-binding activity of the alpha2M preparations was also studied under several storage situations.

Venoms from eight snakes have been screened for inhibitory activity against papain, strong activity being found in that of the African puff adder, Bitis arietans. The inhibitor from B. arietans venom has been purified by affinity chromatography on carboxymethyl-papain-Sepharose and ion-exchange chromatography. The inhibitor had an apparent Mr of 13,000 in SDS/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and pI value of 6.5 (major component) or 6.3 (minor component). Values of Ki for the inhibition of papain, cathepsin B and dipeptidyl peptidase I were 0.10, 2.7 and 0.23 nM, respectively; chicken calpain was not inhibited.
