چکیده

The multifunctional type II transmembrane glycoprotein, dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV, EC 3.4.14.5), is expressed by almost all mammalian cells and is identical to the adenosine deaminase binding protein CD26 on lymphocytes. The extracellular part of rat DPPIV can be divided into three domains the middle part of which harbors 10 of the 12 highly conserved cysteine residues. The cysteine-rich domain is responsible for DPPIV-binding to collagen I and to extracellular ADA. The participation of distinct cysteines in disulfide bridges is not yet known. Titration experiments have shown the presence of six free cysteines and three disulfide bridges in native rat DPPIV. To investigate the role of distinct cysteines in the structure-function relationships of rat DPPIV we constructed 12 different cysteine point mutations (C299, C326, C383, C455, C650 mutated to G; C337, C395, C445, C448, C473, C552, C763 mutated to S). Intracellular translocation to the cell surface of stable transfected Chinese hamster ovary cells was examined with antibodies against different epitopes of DPPIV. Surface expression of mutants C326G, C445S and C448S is inhibited totally; mutants C337S, C455G, C473S and C552S show weak expression only. In parallel, the half-life of these mutants is reduced to < 10% compared with wild-type enzyme. We were able to show that the specific peptidase activity of the mutant protein depends on cell-surface expression, dimerization and the existence of a 150-kDa form demonstrable by nondenaturing SDS/PAGE. We conclude that cysteine residues 326, 337, 445, 448, 455, 473 and 552 in rat DPPIV are essential for the correct folding and intracellular trafficking of this glycoprotein, and therefore for its normal biological properties.

Activity of Dipeptidyl Peptidase-IV/CD26 and Aminopeptidase N/CD13 in Secretome of Mesenchymal Stem Cells after Treatment with LPS and PMA

Background: Emerging evidence suggests that secretome of mesenchymal stem cells has many anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties, which makes it a suitable candidate for the treatment of autoimmune and degenerative diseases. Dipeptidyl Peptidase-IV (DPP-IV)/CD26 and Aminopeptidase N (APN)/CD13 are ubiquitous ecto-enzymes which can digest various substrates including some ...

Glycosaminoglycans Regulate CXCR3 Ligands at Distinct Levels: Protection against Processing by Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV/CD26 and Interference with Receptor Signaling

CXC chemokine ligand (CXCL)9, CXCL10 and CXCL11 direct chemotaxis of mainly T cells and NK cells through activation of their common CXC chemokine receptor (CXCR)3. They are inactivated upon NH₂-terminal cleavage by dipeptidyl peptidase IV/CD26. In the present study, we found that different glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) protect the CXCR3 ligands against proteolytic processing by CD26 without directl...

Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DDP IV) in NASH patients.

OBJECTIVE(S) Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a chronic liver disease with unknown etiology. The insulin resistance, immune mechanisms and oxidative stress are the main factors in its pathogenesis. Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) or CD26 is a protein with endocrine and immune functions. This study aimed to elicudate the changes related to DPPIV in NASH patients. METHODS Serum and urina...

Expression of CD26 and its associated dipeptidyl peptidase IV enzyme activity enhances sensitivity to doxorubicin-induced cell cycle arrest at the G(2)/M checkpoint.

CD26, a M(r) 110,000 surface-bound ectopeptidase with dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) activity, has an array of diverse functional properties, with a role in T-cell physiology and the development of certain human cancers. In this study, we report that surface expression of CD26, through its associated DPPIV enzyme activity, enhanced sensitivity of Jurkat T-cell transfectants to G(2)-M arrest in...
