We have examined the functional properties including autophosphorylation of the Mycobacterium leprae Hsp70 homologue. Recombinant M. leprae Hsp70 had pH optima for its adenosine triphosphatase and autophosphorylating activities which were near pH 8 and 6, respectively. Both these activities were inhibited by reduced and alkylated bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor, but not other tested substrates. Autophosphorylation was augmented by up to 25 mM Ca2+. Using site-directed mutagenesis to construct two Thr-->Ala mutants at positions 175 and 193, and phosphoamino acid analysis, it was shown that Thr175 was the dominant threonine residue autophosphorylated in M. leprae Hsp70. Phosphorylation led to an increased affinity for a model polypeptide substrate, reduced and alkylated bovine albumin. These properties are compared with those of the DnaK protein of Escherichia coli.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007611 Aprotinin A single-chain polypeptide derived from bovine tissues consisting of 58 amino-acid residues. It is an inhibitor of proteolytic enzymes including CHYMOTRYPSIN; KALLIKREIN; PLASMIN; and TRYPSIN. It is used in the treatment of HEMORRHAGE associated with raised plasma concentrations of plasmin. It is also used to reduce blood loss and transfusion requirements in patients at high risk of major blood loss during and following open heart surgery with EXTRACORPOREAL CIRCULATION.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
