Trypsin immobilization on the mineral matrix--silochrome was studied. The effect of the matrix electrochemical nature on the process was examined. pH-optima for trypsin binding with different silochromes and pH-optimum of action of the immobilized enzyme on casein were determined. The effect on the trypsin-silochrome binding of different supplements--inhibitors (benzamidine), stabilizers (Ca2+) and substrates (casein, benzoyl argininamide hydrochloride) was demonstrated.

Some properties of protein inhibitor for trypsin (TI) from Act. janthinus 118 were studied. It was shown that TI has an antitrypsin activity within a wide pH range with a maximum at about 9,5. At 4 degrees and 20 degrees C TI is stable for 24 hours within the pH range of 6,0--11,0. At 100 degrees C TI is more stable in the slightly acid region of pH than at neutral or alkaline conditions. Trypsin and chymotrypsin inactivate the inhibitor for 8 hours. TI inhibits trypsin, fibrinolysin, subtilisin, pronase and terrilytin, but have no effect on chymotrypsin, thrombin, papain and pepsin. The dissociation constants for the trypsin-inhibitor complex were found to be 1,7.10-8 M, 4,1.10-9 M and 2,4.10-10 M, with casein, p-nitroanilide benzoylarginine and tosylarginine methyl ester used as substrates, respectively. The corresponding dissociation rate constants for the subtilisin-inhibitor complex were equal to 1.10-9 M and 4.10-10 M with casein and carbobenzoxy-L-alanyl-L-alanyl-L-leucin p-nitroanilide used as substrates, respectively.

Attachment of washed Mycoplasma gallisepticum cells to glass was quantified with organisms in which membrane lipids were labelled with 3H. Siliconization of the test tubes decreased attachment, while centrifugation increased it. Attachment increased with temperature, decreased with increasing pH and ionic strength of the attachment mixture, but was unaffected by Ca2+, Mg2+ and EDTA. This suggests that ionic bonds, but not salt bridges, participate in the attachment process. Glycophorin, the major receptor responsible for M. gallisepticum attachment to erythrocytes, partially inhibited the attachment of the organisms to glass. However, bovine serum albumin also decreased attachment. Extensive pretreatment of the organisms with trypsin decreased their ability to attach to glass by about 35 to 40%. Trypsin and pronase failed to detach the organisms already bound to glass, suggesting that external mycoplasma cell components, other than membrane proteins, also participate in attachment of the organisms to glass.

The human pathogen Mycoplasma pneumoniae adheres to a variety of cells, including erythrocytes. A hemadsorption technique was developed to quantitate adherence by photometric measurement of lysates of erythrocytes that attached to sheets of M. pneumoniae grown in cups of Linbro plates. Attachment of sheep erythrocytes (SE) increased with higher ionic strength, was unaffected by minor pH variations (6 to 9), and was blocked by anti-M. pneumoniae antiserum, but was not inhibited by a variety of sugars, amino acids, and bovine serum albumin. The reaction was time and temperature dependent. The temperature curve showed peaks at 14 and 28 degrees C with untreated SE but only one peak at about 38 degrees C with glutaraldehyde-treated SE. The temperature dependence indicated involvement of either metabolic or membrane activities in the binding process. Trypsin treatment of the M. pneumoniae sheet abolished adherence of SE but was only partially effective with human erythrocytes and noneffective with rabbit erythrocytes. The binding capacity of the mycoplasma cells for SE was restored by incubation in growth medium for 3 to 4 h; this restoration was inhibited by 10 mug of chloramphenicol per ml. Neuraminidase treatment of SE removed their attachment capacity but had no effect on attachment of rabbit erythrocytes and only a slight effect on attachment of human erythrocytes. Pretreatment of M. pneumoniae with neuraminic acid partially blocked the adherence of SE, whereas rabbit erythrocyte attachment was not affected. Attached SE could be detached by trypsin, but not by neuraminidase. For human and rabbit erythrocytes, the results suggest binding mechanisms other than the interaction between neuraminidase-sensitive receptors and protein-containing binding sites shown for SE.

Highly sensitive gelatin substrate films prepared according to a recent variant of the procedure are studied for their susceptibility to the action of various endopeptidases and exopeptidases. Trypsin, papain, elastase, and chymotrypsin are found to hydrolyze the gelatin films most easily, while higher enzyme concentrations are required in case of pepsin, plasmin and collagenase. The exopeptidases, i.e. leucine aminopeptidase, amino acid arylamidase and carboxypeptidases A and B do not cause lysis of gelatin substrate films. The example of a rabbit blastocyst protease involved in implantation is given to demonstrate the application of gelatin substrate film tests for studies of enzymes which have no or little activity against known synthetic substrates (like BANA or GPNA) but hydrolyze gelatin films. Studies of interactions of this blastocyst protease with various inhibitors of known specificity, however, show that the active center of this enzyme nevertheless has striking similarities to trypsin (and also to chymotrypsin). The enzyme is possibly related to elastase. It is emphasized that, besides this, there are a number of different protease type enzymes in rabbit blastocyst and uterine tissues, some of which can be demonstrated only with chromogenic substrates and some only by gelatin methods. Aspects of applicability of the two types of protease tests are briefly discussed.

The trypsin-Giemsa banding procedure was adapted so that chromosomes could be observed through the microscope during treatment and staining. Trypsin treatment resulted only in a swelling of the chromatids. Chromosome bands which appear as raised structures with interference contrast optics emerged only after staining with Giemsa. These structures remain after Giemsa destaining, suggesting that an irreversable change in chromosome structure is induced by Giemsa. Observations of the stain flow indicate that the positioning of the chromosomes has an effect on the quality of band production. These studies also revealed that bands appear in a reproducible sequence on individual chromosomes, which suggests that alterations take place at different rates along the length of the chromosomes.

Thrombin converts fibrinogen to fibrin monomer by cleaving fibrinopeptides A and B (FPA and FPB) from the amino terminal ends of the A (alpha) and B (beta) chains. A radioimmunoassay capable of measuring the A peptide in human blood as an index of thrombin action in vivo has been described previously. This paper describes the development of a radioimmunoassay for FPB and the use of both assays in the demonstration of distinctive patterns of cleavage of the amino terminal ends of the A (alha) and B (beta) chains of fibrinogen by various enzymes. Antisera were raised in rabbits to a synthetic analogue of FPB coupled to bovine serum albumin. FPB analogue was couple to desaminotyrosine and radiolabeled with 125I by the chloramine-T technique. The radiolabeled peptide was bound by the antiserum, and binding was inhibited by synthetic or native FPB. Unbound tracer was separated from bound tracer by charcoal adsorption. The senistivity of the assay was such that 50% inhibition of binding of the tracer was caused by 1.25 ng of the native FPB. Fibrinogen was treated with thrombin, plasmin, trypsin, Reptilase, and an extract of the venom from Ancistrodon contortrix contortrix (ACC). After ethanol precipitation and centrifugation, dialysates of enzymatically altered fibrinogen were assayed for FPA and FPB. The action of thrombin on fibrinogen resulted in a rapid release of FPA and a slower release of FPB. Plasmin cleaved a segment(s) of the B (beta) chain which included FPB but cleaved no detectable FPA-containing material for the first 2 h of incubation. In the case of plasmin-treated fibrinogen, the dialysates had been further treated with thrombin before being assayed for FPA and FPB. Trypsin rapidly cleaved both peptides, the B before the A. Reptilase cleaved only FPA in 24 h. ACC cleaved FPB at a rapid rate, with a slowere cleavage of FPA. The distinctive cleavage patterns produced by the serine proteases may be useful in interpreting the levels of FPA and FPB measured in human blood and in studying the generation of FPA and FPB in clinical blood samples.

Pure alpha2M is prepared with fresh plasma as starting material, to prevent the interaction of alpha2M from proteolytic enzymes of plasma such as thrombin, plasmin and kallikrein. During the purification steps, polybrene and aprotin are used as inhibitors and plasminogen is absorbed onto bentonite. When alpha 2M is submitted to polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAA) containing 0.1% SDS, a complete dissociation in two half-molecules of MW 380,000 occurs. When alpha2M is incubated in 1% SDS and 1% beta-mercaptoethanol as reducing agent, only one component of MW 190,000 is observed in PAA-SDS. This experiments show that the alpha2M molecule consist of two symetric halves of same MW (380,000) linked by non covalent bonds. Each two-half-molecules is made of two polypeptides chains MW 190,000 linked by disulfide bonds. Thus alpha2M molecule contains four polypeptides chains having a same MW. The same techniques were applied to the study of alaph2M proteinases complexes. Three different proteinases (plasmin, trypsin and papain) were used in these experiments. Trypsin and papain are commercialy available. Plasminogen was obtained by affinity chromatography and activated into plasmin by insoluble streptokinase fixed on PAB cellulose.

T cell blasts activated in the mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) carry on their surface stimulator alloantigens which can be removed by treatment of the blasts with trypsin. After overnight incubation in trypsin-free medium, the treated cells exhibit specific alloantigen binding ability: they bind much more effectively cellular material, either obtained from the corresponding MLR supernatant or released by nitrogen cavitation from fresh cells from the stimulating strain, than that from an unrelated H-2 different strain. Trypsin-treated cells which have been incubated in the presence of low concentrations of puromycin are unable to bind stimulator cell fragments.

Several lines of experimental evidence are presented suggesting that the L antigens in low potassium (LK) sheep red cells are associated with separate Na(+)K(+) pump flux is distinct from the action of anti-L(l) on K(+) leak flux, implying that K(+) leak transport sites may not be converted into active pumps by the L antiserum. Treatment of LK red cells with trypsin completely abolished both the stimulation of K(+) pump flux and the enhancement of the rate of ouabain binding brought about by anti- L. That this effect is due to a total destruction of the L(p) determinant associated with the LK pump was evident from the complete failure of anti-L(p) to bind to trypsinized LK red cells. The L(p) antigen can be effectively protected against the trypsin attack by prior incubation with anti-L, indicating that the sites for antibody binding and trypsin action may be closely adjacent at the structural level. Trypsin treatment, however, did not interfere with anti-L(l) reducing ouabain insensitive K(+) leak influx, nor did it prevent binding of anti-L(ly), the hemolytically active L antibody which is probably identical with anti-L(l). The functional independence of the L(p) and L(l) sites was documented by the observation that anti-L(l) still reduced K(+) leak influx in LK cells with experimentally induced high potassium concentrations, at which K(+) pump flux is fully suppressed, whether or not anti-L(p) was binding to the L(p) antigen associated with the LK pump.
