[Inhibition of human granulocyte proteinases by a heat and acid-stable proteinase inhibitor from rabbit serum]. 1979

O G Ogloblina, and L V Platonova, and T S Paskhina

Several human granulocyte proteinases sensitive to the thermo- and acid-resistant proteinase inhibitor from rabbit serum (TASPI) were revealed, using TASPI-Sepharose 4B. It was found that TASPI inhibits the following human granulocyte proteinases: granules-localized kininogenase and chymotrypsin-like kininase (serine proteinases), elastase-like proteinase and benzoyl arginine ethyl ester esterase, as well as chymotrypsin-like kininase from the post-granule supernatant. These enzymes were compared to known granulocyte proteinases. Some carboxylic kininogenase sensitive to TASPI was identified in the granulocyte membrane debris fraction. The capability to inhibit neutral kininogenase suggests that TASPI is a first natural proteinase inhibitor, which can differentiate granulocyte and blood plasma kininogenases. Using trypsin-Sepharose 4B in the granulocyte post-granule supernatant, the acid-resistant trypsin and chymotrypsin inhibitor was identified. The data obtained are indicative of an antiinflammatory function of TASPI in mammals.

D007610 Kallikreins Proteolytic enzymes from the serine endopeptidase family found in normal blood and urine. Specifically, Kallikreins are potent vasodilators and hypotensives and increase vascular permeability and affect smooth muscle. They act as infertility agents in men. Three forms are recognized, PLASMA KALLIKREIN (EC 3.4.21.34), TISSUE KALLIKREIN (EC 3.4.21.35), and PROSTATE-SPECIFIC ANTIGEN (EC 3.4.21.77).

D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell
D002918 Chymotrypsin A serine endopeptidase secreted by the pancreas as its zymogen, CHYMOTRYPSINOGEN and carried in the pancreatic juice to the duodenum where it is activated by TRYPSIN. It selectively cleaves aromatic amino acids on the carboxyl side. Alpha-Chymotrypsin Choay,Alphacutanée,Avazyme
