Kinetics of association of serine proteinases with native and oxidized alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor and alpha-1-antichymotrypsin. 1980

K Beatty, and J Bieth, and J Travis

The association rate constants for the interaction of alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor, oxidized alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor, and alpha-1-antichymotrypsin with several mammalian serine proteinases have been determined. The results indicate that leukocyte elastase reacts more rapidly with alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor than any other proteinase tested, while leukocyte cathepsin G shows the strongest association with alpha-1-antichymotrypsin. Oxidation of the critical methionine residue of alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor reduces the association with leukocyte elastase by a factor of more than 2000 and also lowers the association with all of the other enzymes tested with the exception of chymotrypsin. Significantly, oxidation completely abolishes any interaction of alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor with porcine elastase, human plasmin or human thrombin. These data support previous results (Johnson, D., and Travis, J. (1979) J. Biol. Chem. 254, 4022-4026) which indicated that oxidation of human alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor in vivo could reduce the effectiveness of this inhibitor in controlling proteolysis. In the lung, in particular, oxidizing agents of both chemical and biological sources could, indirectly, augment elastolysis in this tissue, resulting in the development of pulmonary emphysema.

D008433 Mathematics The deductive study of shape, quantity, and dependence. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 6th ed) Mathematic
D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction

Specific protein-binding measures are often used as assays in diagnostic assessments. Plasma Protein Binding Capacity,Binding, Protein
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

D000514 alpha 1-Antichymotrypsin Glycoprotein found in alpha(1)-globulin region in human serum. It inhibits chymotrypsin-like proteinases in vivo and has cytotoxic killer-cell activity in vitro. The protein also has a role as an acute-phase protein and is active in the control of immunologic and inflammatory processes, and as a tumor marker. It is a member of the serpin superfamily.
