Human cathepsin B was purified by affinity chromatography on the semicarbazone of Gly-Phe-glycinal linked to Sepharose 4B, with elution by 2,2′-dipyridyl disulphide at pH 4.0. The product obtained in high yield by the single step from crude starting material was 80-100% active cathepsin B. The possibility that this new form of affinity chromatography may be of general usefulness in the purification of cysteine proteinases is discussed.

Chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CATase) was purified by affinity chromatography from Escherichia coli W677/HJR66, an R-factor-bearing mutant. The chloramphenicol aryl nitro group had to be reduced to an amino group prior to its coupling to the Sepharose 4B matrix. The single-step isolation procedure resulted in a 237-fold purification of CATase with over 65% recovery of the enzyme.

An improved, high-yield synthesis of the corresponding N-carboxypentyl derivatives of three iminoalditol glycosidase inhibitors has been developed for affinity chromatography enzyme purification. Reductive amination of 1-deoxynojirimycin (or its D-manno or D-galacto analogues) with methyl 5-formylvalerate and NaBH3CN at neutral pH afforted an aminoester which upon hydrolysis with aqueous 5% HCl gave the desired aminoacid in 97% overall yield. These amino acids could then be covalently attached using water-soluble carbodi-imide to 6-aminohexyl Sepharose 4B.

We have determined the kinetic parameters for the hydrolysis by papain, cathepsin B and cathepsin L of internally quenched fluorescent peptides derived from the lead peptides Abz-AAFRSAQ-EDDnp [in which Abz and EDDnp stand for o-aminobenzoic acid and N-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)ethylenediamine respectively], to map the specificity of S4 and S3 subsites, and Abz-AFRSAAQ-EDDnp, to identify the specificity of S2ʹ and S3ʹ. Abz and EDDnp were the fluorescent quencher pair. These two series of peptides were cleaved at the Arg-Ser bond and systematic modifications at P4, P3, P2ʹ and P3ʹ were made. The S4 to S2ʹ subsites had a significant influence on the hydrolytic efficiencies of the three enzymes. Only papain activity was observed to be dependent on S3ʹ, indicating that its binding site is larger than those of cathepsins B and L. Hydrophobic amino acids were accepted at S4, S3, S2ʹ and S3ʹ of the three enzymes. The best substrates for cathepsins L and B had Trp and Asn at P2ʹ respectively; variations at this position were less accepted by these enzymes. The best substrates for papain were peptides containing Trp, Tyr or Asn at P3ʹ. Basic residues at P3 and P4 were well accepted by cathepsin L and papain. We also explored the susceptibility of substrates Abz-AFRSXAQ-EDDnp, modified at P2ʹ (X), to human cathepsin B mutants from which one or two occluding loop contacts had been removed. The modifications at His111 (H111A) and His110 (H110A) of cathepsin B led to an increase in kcat values of one or two orders of magnitude. The hydrolytic efficiencies of these cathepsin B mutants became closer to those of papain or cathepsin L.

Sepharose 4B

1. Two different gels have been prepared suitable for the separation of a number of enzymes, in particular NAD+-dependent dehydrogenases, by affinity chromatography. For both the matrix used was Sepharose 4B. For preparation (a), NAD+–Sepharose, 6-aminohexanoic acid has been coupled to the gel by the cyanogen bromide method and then NAD+ was attached by using dicyclohexylcarbodi-imide; for preparation (b), AMP–Sepharose, N6-(6-aminohexyl)-AMP has been coupled directly to cyanogen bromide-activated gel. 2. Affinity columns of both gels retain only the two enzymes when a mixture of bovine serum albumin, lactate dehydrogenase and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase is applied. Subsequent elution with the cofactor NAD+ yields glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase whereas lactate dehydrogenase is eluted by applying the same molarity of the reduced cofactor. 3. The binding of both glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase to the gel tested, AMP–Sepharose, is strong enough to resist elution by gradients of KCl of up to at least 0.5m. A 0.0–0.15m gradient of the competitive inhibitor salicylate, however, elutes both enzymes efficiently and separately. 4. The elution efficiency of lactate dehydrogenase from AMP–Sepharose has been examined by using a series of eluents under comparable conditions of concentration etc. The approximate relative efficiencies are: 0 (lactate); 0 (lactate+semicarbazide); 0 (0.5mm-NAD+); 80 (lactate+NAD+); 95 (lactate+semicarbazide+NAD+); 100 (0.5mm-NADH). 5. All contaminating lactate dehydrogenase activity can be removed from commercially available crude pyruvate kinase in a single-step procedure by using AMP–Sepharose.

In this study we report on the synthesis, kinetic characterization and application of a novel biotinylated and active-site-directed inactivator of cathepsin B. Thus the peptidyldiazomethane biotinyl-Phe-Ala-diazomethane has been synthesized by a combination of solid-phase and solution methodologies and has been shown to be a very efficient inactivator of bovine and human cathepsin B. The respective apparent second-order rate constants (k0bs./[I]) for the inactivation of the human and bovine enzymes by this reagent, namely approximately 5.4 x 10(4) M-1.min-1 and approximately 7.8 x 10(4) M-1.min-1, compare very favourably with those values determined for the urethane-protected analogue benzyloxycarbonyl-Phe-Ala-chloromethane first described by Green & Shaw [(1981) J. Biol. Chem. 256, 1923-1928], thus demonstrating that the presence of the biotin moiety at the P3 position is compatible with inhibitor effectiveness. The utilization of this reagent for the detection of cathepsin B in electrophoretic gels, using Western blotting and in combination with a streptavidin/alkaline phosphatase detection system, is also demonstrated. Given that the peptidyldiazomethanes exhibit a pronounced reactivity towards cysteine proteinases, we feel that the present label may well constitute the archetypal example of a wide range of reagents for the selective labelling of this class of proteinase, even in a complex biological milieu containing additional classes of proteinases.

Cathepsin B has been implicated in numerous pathobiological processes. In order to study its interactions with other proteins implicated in these processes, quantities of functional recombinant cathepsin B are needed. Therefore, we expressed recombinant human procathepsin B in mammalian cells (BSC-1 monkey kidney cells and HeLa human cervical carcinoma cells) using a vaccinia virus expression system. The recombinant human procathepsin B appeared to be authentic and expressed in its native conformation as indicated by: (1) N-terminal sequencing; (2) molecular size; (3) processing intracellularly to mature double-chain cathepsin B; (4) in vitro cleavage by pepsin to mature cathepsin B coincident with appearance of activity against a selective synthetic substrate; and (5) substrate/inhibitor profiles. This is the first report of the expression of functional recombinant human procathepsin B in mammalian cells. We also report a single-step immunoaffinity purification procedure for the isolation of electrophoretically pure proenzyme. By the methodologies described, human procathepsin B can now be obtained in high yield. This should facilitate studies of its interactions with protease inhibitors, other proteases, extracellular matrices, cell-surface proteins and biological substrates that may be of relevance to the pathobiological functions of this enzyme.

The ability of benzyloxycarbonyl-(125I)Tyr-Ala-CHN2 to label cysteine proteinases in a variety of human tissues was investigated. The inhibitor bound only to cathepsin B in tissues homogenized at pH 5.0. When liver was autolysed at pH 4.0 for up to 4 h, the inhibitor also bound to a protein of Mr 25,000. This was identified immunologically and chromatographically as cathepsin L. Both cathepsins B and L were found primarily in kidney, liver and spleen. In spleen, an additional protein of Mr 25,000 was also labelled. This protein could not be precipitated by antibodies to any of cathepsins B, H and L. This protein has tentatively been identified as human cathepsin S by its tissue distribution, chromatographic properties and molecular size. This work clearly shows that peptidyldiazomethanes are specific probes for cysteine proteinases, and that benzyloxycarbonyl-(125I)Tyr-Ala-CHN2 binds to three such enzymes in human tissues.

HEPARIN INDEPENDENT PURIFICATION OF ANTITHROMBIN III (AT III) BY IMMUNO-AFFINITY CHROMATOGRAPHY RESULTING IN A FUNCTIONALLY INTACT MOLECULE

Previous methods for purification of AT III are based on its heparin-binding capacity. However, in congenital AT III deficiency abnormal inhibitor molecules with impaired binding of heparin and/or thrombin has been reported. The aim of the present study was to develop a purification method based on immuno-affinity chromatography, and thus independent of the heparin binding capacity.Rabbits were immunized with human AT III purified by a three-step procedure involving dextran sulphate precipitation, affinity chromatography on heparin-Sepharose and ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A-50. Rabbit immunoglobulins against human AT III were isolated by affinity chromatography using purified human AT III coupled to CNBr-activated Sepharose 4B. Trace amounts of immunoglobulin against human albumin, IgG and IgM were removed by solid phase immunoadsorption. The highly purified immunoglobulins against human AT III were coupled to CNBr-activated Sepharose 4B. This anti-AT III-Sepharose was used for single-step purification of AT III from plasma. Elution was performed by Na-citrate buffer at pH 3.0 and the eluted fractions immediately neutralized. The recovery was more than 60%.The purified AT III appeared as a single protein band in SDS-poly-acrylamide gel electrophoresis with or without reduction. Affinity purified AT III and AT III purified by the three-step procedure were indistinguishable when analyzed by crossed immunoelectrophoresis in the absence and the presence of heparin isoelectrical focusing in polyacrylamid gel at a pH 4-6.5 gradient, and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. AT III antigen concentration was determined by electroimmunoassay and the reactive site concentration determined by titration with purified human thrombin using Phe-Pip-Arg-Nan (S-2238) as substrate. The ratio (active site conc.)/(antigen conc.) was identical in the two AT III preparations. It is concluded that this single-step immuno-affinity chromatography gives a high recovery from plasma of a highly purified functionally intact AT III molecule. The purification method is independent of the heparin binding capacity of AT III. This is of particular importance for the purification and characterization of abnormal AT III molecules with impaired heparin-binding site.

The hydrolysis of a tritiated elastin substrate by the human cysteine proteinases cathepsins B and L has been studied. Cathepsin L was found to be at least 100-fold more active on this substrate than cathepsin B. The specific activity of cathepsin L at pH 5.5 for hydrolysis of elastin was about the same as that of pig pancreatic elastase at its optimum pH of 8.8.
