چکیده
Elastatinal1) is an elastase inhibitor which was found in culture filtrates of various species of actinomycetes. In this communication, its structural elucidation is reported. The properties of elastatinal have already been described in a previous papery. It has the molecular formula C21H36N8O7. The IR [1725. 1655 (broad) and 1550 (broad) cm-1] and UV [2 0.1N HCl max: 275 nm (E 1% 1cm, 1.5)] spectra, color reactions (RYDON-SMITH, FOLIN, trl-

Characterization and primary structure of elastase inhibitor, AFLEI, from Aspergillus flavus.
The amino acid sequence of elastase inhibitor, AFLEI, isolated from Aspergillus flavus was determined by the Edman sequencing procedure of peptides derived from digests utilizing clostripain. A molecular weight of 7,525.8 was observed by TOF-MS. AFLEI contained 68 amino acid residues and has a calculated molecular weight of 7,526.2. The search for amino acid homology with other proteins demonst...
متن کاملCrystallization and characterization of a new protease in mitochondria of bone marrow cells.
A new protease was found in mitochondria of bone marrow cells. The protease was purified from human bone marrow cells by using the following methods: disruption of cells by sonication; buffer extraction; column chromatography using DEAE-cellulose, Sephadex G-75, and CM-cellulose. It was then crystallized in the presence of polyethylene glycol. The crystallized enzyme is homogeneous as judged by...
متن کاملA unique elastase in human blood platelets.
Previous investigations suggested that elastolytic activity found in platelets could be due to contamination by neutrophil elastase. In the present study, the lysate of blood platelets free of detectable neutrophils was examined for elastase-like activity using tertiary-butyloxycarbonyl (tBOC)-ala-ala-pro-ala-aminomethyl coumarin (I), tBOC-ala-ala-pro-val-aminomethyl coumarin (II), and succinyl...
متن کاملInhibition of proteolytic activity of poliovirus and rhinovirus 2A proteinases by elastase-specific inhibitors.
A polyprotein cleavage assay has been developed to assay the proteolytic activities in vitro of the 2A proteinases encoded by poliovirus and human rhinovirus 14, which are representative members of the Enterovirus and Rhinovirus genera of picornaviruses, respectively. The elastase-specific substrate-based inhibitors elastatinal and methoxysuccinyl-Ala-Ala-Pro-Val-chloromethylketone (MPCMK) inhi...
متن کامل3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase
1. A spectrophotometric assay of 2':3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.37) based on the use of an acid-base indicator and a buffer having identical PKa values is described. The assay is sinmple and rapid; it was particularly convenient for monitoring the enzyme activity at vat :ous stages of purification. 2. Several proteinases were examined for their ability to solubilize 2':3...
