Fluorimetric assays for cathepsin B and cathepsin H with methylcoumarylamide substrates.
Benzyloxycarbonyl-phenylalanyl-arginine 4-methyl-7-coumarylamide was found to be an excellent substrate for the fluorimetric assay of cathepsin B, and arginine 4-methyl-7-coumarylamide for cathepsin H. Procedures were developed that are very convenient, and avoid the hazards associated with the use of naphthylamides.
متن کاملNoteFluorogenic Substrates for Cathepsin D
Fluorogenic substrates for cathepsin D; A-Tyr-Phe (N02)-Leu-Leu (A; Ala-Arg-Pro-Lys-Pro-Leu-Leu-, ArgPTe-Lys-Pro-Leu-Leu-, Pro-Lys-Pro-Leu-Leu-, Lys-ProLeu-Leu-, Pro-Leu-Leu-) alld B-Phe(N02)-Tyr-Leu-Leu M; Arg-Pro-Lys-Pro-Leu-Leu-, Pro-Lys-Pro-Leu-Leu-, Lys-Pre-Leu-Leu-, Pro-Leu-Leu-) (Phe(N02), p-nitrephenylalanine) were synthesized and digested by cathepsin D and pepsin. The fluerescence at ...
متن کاملFluorogenic peptide substrates for carboxydipeptidase activity of cathepsin B.
Cathepsin B is a lysosomal cysteine protease exhibiting mainly dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase activity, which decreases dramatically above pH 5.5, when the enzyme starts acting as an endopeptidase. Since the common cathepsin B assays are performed at pH 6 and do not distinguish between these activities, we synthesized a series of peptide substrates specifically designed for the carboxydipeptidase ...
متن کاملRegulation of cathepsin B
Most malignant tumors show increased transcriptional activation of cathepsin B. More than a decade ago, Qian, et al. identified that increased expression of cathepsin B in B16a melanoma cells is due to a specific increase in the amount or activity of a transcriptional activator of the cathepsin B gene [50]. Later, the research group of Sloane, et al., found that more than one promoter could dir...
متن کاملEffects of Endurance Training on the Expression of Cathepsin B (CTSB) and Cathepsin L (CTSL) genes in the Adipose Tissue of Mice with a High-Fat Diet
Introduction: In high-fat diet-induced obesity, the levels of cathepsin L (CTSL) and cathepsin B (CTSB) increase in adipocytes, resulting in insulin resistance in the adipose tissue. In this study, the preventive effect of endurance training on the gene expression of CTSL and CTSB was investigated in the adipose tissue of mice with a high-fat diet. Materials and Methods: Twenty-one male mice (a...
