Structural studies of human urinary kallikrein (urokallikrein).

چکیده
Human urinary kallikrein (urokallikrein) has been purified by affinity chromatography with aprotinin coupled to CH-Sepharose and by gel filtration. The isolation procedure, which was performed under mild conditions, was completed in a 36-hr period and yielded an overall recovery of more than 75% and a purification of 1727-fold. Homogeneity of the urokallikrein was demonstrated by three criteria: the coincidence of the stained protein band and functional urokallikrein in duplicate gels after alkaline disc gel electrophoresis; the appearance of a single stained band of molecular weight 48,000 on sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of reduced and unreduced enzyme; and the finding of a single amino-terminal residue, namely alanine after dansylation and acid hydrolysis of purified enzyme. The Km of urokallikrein on N alpha-p-tosyl-L-arginine methyl ester was 400 microM, and the Vmax was 194 mumol/min per mg of protein, which is higher than that observed with any previous preparations. The molecular weight of 48,700 determined on gel filtration and the molecular weight of 48,000 observed by sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis are in good agreement with the molecular weight of 48,213 calculated from the amino acid composition. The finding of a molecular weight higher than those previously reported, namely 27,000-43,500, the increased functional activity on tosylarginine methyl ester, and the detection of a single amino-terminal residue are consistent with the isolation of a more native protein by the procedure described in this paper.

متن کاملIsoelectric focusing patterns of urinary kallikrein in Dahl salt-hypertension susceptible and resistant rats.
Dahl salt-sensitive (S) rats which are susceptible to hypertension have lower urinary kallikrein excretion than salt-resistant (R) rats which are not susceptible. Some physicochemical characteristics of partially purified urinary kallikrein were compared between the S and R strains. The isoelectric focusing pattern of S kallikrein was shifted so that a higher proportion of enzyme was present in...
متن کاملEffects of cyclooxygenase inhibitors on plasma and urinary kallikrein.
In vitro studies were performed to investigate the direct effects of the cyclooxygenase inhibitors (COI), meclofenamate, imidazol, acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), indomethacin, and acetaminophen on the plasma kallikrein system and on urinary kallikrein excretion. Biological (guinea pig ileum) and colorimetric (synthetic substrate) methods were used. Results showed that all COIs except ASA affected ...
متن کاملSpecific identification of tissue kallikrein in exocrine tissues and in cell-free translation products with monoclonal antibodies.
A panel of six mouse monoclonal antibodies (IgG1) has been prepared against purified rat urinary kallikrein (EC 3.4.21.35) and characterized. In radioimmunoassay, the antibody titres of ascitic fluid giving 50% binding to 125I-kallikrein range from 1:2 X 10(3) to 1:1 X 10(6). Antibodies from four of the clones show no cross-reactivity with human urinary kallikrein, rat urinary esterase A or ton...
متن کاملThe effect of cations on the activity of human urinary kallikrein.
We studied the effect of ions on the ability of purified human urinary kallikrein to cleave its natural substrate (kininogen) as well as two synthetic substrates, tosylarginine [3H]methyl ester and Pro-Phe-Arg-[3H]benzylamide. The kininogenase activity of kallikrein is markedly dependent upon the concentration of cations in vitro. Kininogenase activity is very low when measured in a low electro...
