By using ammonium sulfate, Arg-Sepharose and gel filtration, an urinary trypsin inhibitor (UTI) with molecular weight of 67,000 (UTI7) was isolated from normal human urine. The yield of UTI7 was about 3,200 U per liter of urine. When urine was acidified, an uropepsin-like substance was activated which caused molecular weight change of UTI7. New UTIs had molecular weight of 45,000 and 22,000 (UTI4-5 and UTI-2-2), respectively. These inhibitors showed a strong effect on trypsin, alpha--chymotrypsin and lesser extent on plasmin and elastase, but had no effect on esterolytic activity on thrombin and the first components of complement Cls an Clr.

Trypsin immobilised on polystyrene beads causes initiation of cell division which cannot be accounted for by trypsin released into the medium or into the cells. Also, initiation by soluble trypsin is inhibited by immobilised soybean trypsin inhibitor. These results demonstrate that trypsin can initiate proliferation at the cell surface.

Chronic administration of raw soybean flour containing active trypsin inhibitor to dogs reduced the pancreatic output of trypsin and chymotrypsin in response to cholecystokinin. Dogs stimulated by a meat meal showed no consistent alteration in the output of trypsin and chymotrypsin when given additional duodenal infusions of trypsin and chymotrypsin, or canine pancreatic juice, or ovalbumin trypsin inhibitor. Two dogs, whose pancreas was stimulated by intraduodenal infusion of amino acids, showed no consistent change when trypsin, or trypsin together with trypsin inhibitors, or trypsin together with canine pancreatic juice was infused concurrently into the duodenum. These results indicate that feedback control of pancreatic enzyme secretion, of the type proposed on the basis of studies similar to the present in rats, does not exist in dogs.

Bovine and porcine pancreatic residue, remaining after the extraction of insulin, has been used to prepare a proteinase powder. This powder was used as a source of trypsin and chymotrypsin. The individual enzymes were isolated and purified by chromatography on sulfopropyl (SP) - Sephadex C-25 and affinity chromatography on soybean trypsin inhibitor (STI) - Sepharose. The bovine proteinase powder contained alpha-chymotrypsin, trypsin and chymotrypsin B in the ratio 5 : 2 : 1. The porcine powder contained cationic trypsin, anionic trypsin and cationic chymotrypsin in the ratio 5 : 1.4 : 3. The isolated enzymes were characterized and found to be identical with enzymes isolated from fresh tissue with the exception of porcine chymotrypsin. Porcine cationic chymotrypsin was isolated as two distinct forms, A-1 and A-2, which appear to be different activation products of porcine chymotrypsinogen A. Both forms resemble bovine alpha-chymotrypsin, a three chain structure, rather than porcine chymotrypsin Api, a two chain structure. Futhermore, the B-chain appears to be cleaved, possibly at residues Phe89-Lys90.

Alanine-neochymotrypsinogen was prepared by incubating 20 parts bovine pancreas chymotrypsinogen A with one part alpha-chymotrypsin in a solution containing 1 M (NH4)2SO4, 0.1 M sodium acetate, 0.05 M Tris buffer (pH 8.0) and 0.5 mg/ml soybean trypsin inhibitor. Optimal yields of NH2-terminal alanine were obtained after 60 h incubation at 4 degrees C. Ala-neochymotrypsinogen was isolated from the reaction mixture by affinity chromatography and ion-exchange chromatography on carboxymethyl-cellulose. As expected, the purified preparation was enzymatically inactive and, compared to chymotrypsinogen, had one additional NH2-terminal group identified as alanine. Ala-neochymotrypsinogen was activated by incubating with trypsin at a zymogen : trypsin ratio of 30 : 1 in 0.1 M phosphate buffer, pH 7.6 at 4 degrees C for 1 h. The fully active, stable species was identified as alpha-chymotrypsin.

The effects of trypsin inhibitors and phospholipase inhibitors on the acrosome reaction of washed cauda epididymal sperm of golden hamsters were studied using two different incubation systems. One incubation system, a non-synchronous acrosome reaction inducing system, included the use of a highly purified BSA and a protein-free motility factor preparation from hamster adrenal gland. The other system was a relatively synchronous acrosome reaction-inducing-system utilizing the calcium ionophore A23187. Acrosome reactions were inhibited by three low molecular weight synthetic trypsin inhibitors, benzamidine, NPGB and TLCK, when they were added five minutes prior to the initial occurrence of acrosome reactions in the non-synchronous system or five minutes prior to induction of acrosome reactions by A23187 in the synchronous system. Two phospholipase A inhibitors, p-bromophenacyl bromide and mepacrine, were also effective in inhibiting hamster sperm acrosome reactions in both incubation systems. TPCK, an inhibitor of several non-trypsin-like proteases, indomethacin, a prostaglandin synthetase inhibitor, and soybean trypsin inhibitor, a large molecular weight polypeptide, did not inhibit acrosome reactions. The inhibition of those acrosome reactions induced by A23187 provides further indirect evidence that the effective inhibitors were functioning at a site within the sperm. The overall results provide: (1) further support for our earlier work suggesting the involvement of an internal trypsin-like enzyme (presumably acrosin) rather than an exogenous trypsin-like enzyme in the hamster sperm acrosome reaction and (2) the first evidence suggesting the possibility that a sperm phospholipase may also be involved in the mammalian acrosome reaction.

Prior trypsinization of rabbit PMN prevented the normal selective release of lysosomal constituents induced by contact with zymosan-C3 and abolished the adherence of these cells to sheep RBC sensitized with IgM antibody and complement (PMN rosettes). The effect of trypsin could be completely reversed by exposure of the cells to soybean trypsin inhibitor after trypsinization. Trypsin did not inhibit the lysosomal release provoked by contact with immune complexes of interfere with rosette formation between PMN and sheep RBC sensitized with IgG antibody. The action of trypsin on the PMN C3b receptor may not be enzymatic.

A proteinase active at physiologic pH was isolated from unstimulated human peripheral blood lymphocytes with gel filtration and affinity chromatography. The proteinase with a molecular mass of approximately 30,000 daltons was completely inhibited by diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP) and soybean trypsin inhibitor (STI). Incubation of the lymphocyte enzyme with 3H-proline labeled T24 human bladder carcinoma cells resulted in significant cytoxicity of the target cells. Cytotoxicity was only observed with much higher concentrations of trypsin. Similar results were obtained with a 51Cr release assay. This investigation demonstrates that unstimulated human peripheral blood lymphocytes contain a cytotoxic proteinase capable of killing pre-labeled target cells. The proteinase may be involved in lymphocyte-mediated cytotoxicity.

Ehrlich ascites tumour cells contain a neutral protease, capable of solubilising fluorescein-labelled telopeptides from fluorescein-labelled polymeric collagen fibrils. The cells also contain an inhibitor for this enzyme and for trypsin. The enzymically inactive enzyme-inhibitor complex can be dissociated with the mercurial thiol agent, mersalyl, with the consequent regain of enzymic activity. The reactivated neutral protease and also trypsin can be inhibited by addition of thiols such as cysteine, mercaptoethanol and dithiothreitol. Trypsin can be protected from inactivation by the tumor inhibitor by addition of cystine or L-1-tosylamido-2-phenylethyl chloromethyl ketone(TosPheCH2Cl)-inactivated chymotrypsin. The evidence suggests that the inhibitor contains a reactive thiol group which exchanges with one or more significant disulphide bridges in trypsin and the neutral protease, resulting in enzyme-inhibitor complex formation and loss of activity. Similarly, thiols interact with these enzymes resulting in a corresponding loss of enzymic activity. The evidence obtained with Tos-PheCH2Cl-inactivated chymotrypsin, which reactivated previously inhibited trypsin and neutral protease, demonstrates that the active site of the enzyme is not involved in the interaction with the thiol of the inhibitor but that the significant disulphide bond in the enzyme is required for the maintenance of the active site conformation. This disulphide exchange mechanism is therefore a form of reversible allosteric control of proteolytic activity and has been shown to be distinct from the mechanism by which soya bean trypsin inhibitor interacts with trypsin.

Human pancreatic cationic trypsinogen has been purified to homogenity from an acetone powder of pancreatic tissue. After an initial ion exchange chromatography step on sulfopropyl (SP)-Sephadex at pH 2.6, cationic trypsinogen was separated from the majority of trypsin activity by passage through an affinity column of lima bean trypsin inhibitor-agarose at high ionic strength. The zymogen was then further purified by affinity chromatography on the same material at low ionic strength. Highly purified trypsinogen was resolved from containing chymotrypsinogen by ion exchange chromatography on SP-Sephadex at pH 6.0. The purified zymogen was shown to be homogeneous by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at pH 2.1 and at pH 4.3 as well as by discontinuous sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The autoactivation of human trypsinogen was investigated at pH 5.6 and at pH 8.0. The rate of autoactivation of the human zymogen is rapid at pH 5.6 and is maximal in approximately 1 mM Ca2+. These results are in marked contrast to those previously reported for autoactivation of bovine trypsinogen, which is extremely slow at pH 5.6 and which shows a dependence on at least 50 mM Ca2+ for maximum rate of activation (MacDonald, M. R., AND Kunitz, M. (1941) J. Gen. Physiol. 25, 53-73).
