Abstract:
:The generation of a different type of beta-kallikrein, designated C beta-kallikrein, from alpha-kallikrein by chymotryptic action was ascertained by the following observations: 1) When alpha-kallikrein was incubated with chymotrypsin, an increase of esterolytic activity of kallikrein was observed. 2) In sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, C beta-kallikrein was found to be different from the beta-kallikrein obtained from alpha-kallikrein by tryptic digestion, and was designated T beta-kallikrein. 3) N-Terminal amino acid sequence analyses of internal light and heavy chains of C beta-kallikrein indicated that N-termini of the light and the heavy chains were isoleucine and lysine, respectively, and that the heavy chain had most of the "kallikrein autolysis loop" sequence in its N-terminal end. In the case of T beta-kallikrein, N-termini of the light and the heavy chains were isoleucine and alanine, respectively, and the light chain retained the "kallikrein autolysis loop" region in its C-terminal end. These observations demonstrated that C beta-kallikrein was different from the beta-kallikrein prepared from autolyzed pancreas, A beta-kallikrein, which had lost the "kallikrein autolysis loop" sequence. Structural differences of the above four kallikreins (alpha-, T beta-, C beta-, and A beta-) result in somewhat different enzyme properties. The kinetic constants for the hydrolysis of synthetic substrates (N alpha-benzoyl-L-arginine ethyl ester and N alpha-tosyl-L-arginine methyl ester) of these kallikreins differed from each other, and inhibitory profiles against alpha 1-antitrypsin were also different.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
