摘要
从赤子爱胜蚓(Eiseniafaetida)中纯化出的一种纤溶酶原激活剂(e-PA)在纤维蛋白平板上可表现出三种活性,分别记为:CFPg,uCFPg和uCF.为更好了解各种活性与e-PA的纤溶能力的关系,考察了在SDS和不同抑制剂存在下各种活性的变化.结果表明,SDS可以增强CFPg活性且使得e-PA变得对一些抑制剂更敏感;leupeptin,chymostatin,pepstatin,apro-tinin,phenylmethylsulfonylfluoride(PMSF)和dithiothreitol(DTT)对uCF没有影响;pep-statin能增强CFPg和uCFPg活性,E-64(一种巯基抑制剂)能增强uCFPg和uCF活性.这些现象说明不能简单将e-PA归结为丝氨酸蛋白酶或巯基蛋白酶.此外又以纤溶酶原为底物,分析了e-PA在体外降解天然蛋白质的肽键特异性,结果表明:e-PA可以切割碱性氨基酸,小的中性氨基酸及Met的羧基端,同时e-PA确能将纤溶酶原切割为纤溶酶;这一结论为e-PA有可能成为新型溶栓药物提供了生化基础.
A plasminogen activator from Eisenia faetida (e PA)shows three kinds of fibrinolysis activities on fibrin plates.They are designated as CFPg(complete fibrinolysis in plasminogen rich plate),uCFPg(uncompleted fibrinolysis in plasminogen rich plate)and uCF(uncompleted fibrinolysis in plasminogen free plate).To investigate these different activities,SDS and some inhibitors are used to study their influence on the activities.SDS can activated CFPg and render e PA more sensitive to some inhibitors.Leupeptin,chymostatin,pepstatin,aprotinin,phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride(PMSF)and dithiothreitol(DTT)have no effect on uCF.Pepstatin can stimulate CFPg and uCFPg while E 64,a kind of thiol inhibitor,can stimulate uCFPg and uCF.All of these results make it more difficult to sort out e PA as a serine protease or a thioprotease.Furthermore,the specificity of peptide bond using plasminogen as substrate is that e PA can cleave the carboxyl side of basic amino acids,small neutral amino acids and Met residue.Specifically,e PA can cleave plasminogen to produce plasmin,which is the biochemical base for e PA's use for thrombolysis.
