Behavior of trypsin and related enzymes toward amidinophenyl esters. 1981

M Nozawa, and K Tanizawa, and Y Kanaoka, and H Moriya

Kinetics of the hydrolysis of amidinophenyl esters catalyzed by urokinase, kallikrein, plasmin and trypsins from various origins were studied. P-Amidinophenyl esters in which the arrangement of the specific group for bovine trypsin (charged amidinium) is reversed to that of normal substrates were characterized as specific substrates for the enzyme and named "inverse substrates" (K. Tanizawa, Y. Kasaba and Y. Kanaoka, J. Am. Chem. Sc., 99, 4485-4488) Behavior of these enzymes toward amidinophenyl esters was demonstrated to be very similar to that of bovine trypsin. These observations account for the structural similarity of their active sites. p- Amidinophenyl esters were found to be hydrolyzed also by clostripain which is known as a thiol protease with trypsin-like specificity. This is the first example of the "inverse substrates" for a thiol enzyme.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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).

D005341 Fibrinolysin A product of the lysis of plasminogen (profibrinolysin) by PLASMINOGEN activators. It is composed of two polypeptide chains, light (B) and heavy (A), with a molecular weight of 75,000. It is the major proteolytic enzyme involved in blood clot retraction or the lysis of fibrin and quickly inactivated by antiplasmins.
