Regulation of the exocrine pancreatic secretion elicited by a meal in man is incompletely understood. In this study, we attempted to localize in the gastrointestinal tract areas that control postprandial trypsin secretion and to determine the effects of individual components of jejunal chyme on the meal-stimulated trypsin secretion. Trypsin outputs elicited by ingesting a mixed-nutrient meal and diverting it at the ligament of Treitz proximal to an occlusive balloon were compared with those occurring when the same meal was ingested, diverted at the ligament of Treitz, and immediately reinfused distal to the balloon, a procedure that exposed the entire gastrointestinal tract to chyme. Two different meals, one of semielemental and one of complex nutrients, were used with similar results. Trypsin outputs were similar whether or not jejunal chyme was diverted. In addition, no component--exogenous nutrients or endogenous secretions--of chyme reaching the jejunum after a meal further modified the trypsin secretion elicited by the gastroduodenal segment. This finding suggests that the gastroduodenal segment is sufficient to elicit the entire postprandial trypsin output and is the physiologic determinant of meal-stimulated trypsin secretion.

Pepsin had no effect on the vitamin B12 binder in human saliva (R-binder), while trypsin was found to reduce the apparent molecular weight of the R-binder and to release vitamin B12 from the R-B12complex of human saliva and human gastric juice (HGJ). Trypsin had no effect on the molecular weight and biological activity of intrinsic factor (IF) in HGJ, as demonstrated by gel filtration on Sephadex G-150 and the uptake of IF-B12 by guinea pig intestinal brush borders. An extract of purified guinea pig intestinal lysosomes was also without effect on the molecular weight and the biological activity of IF but was found to release vitamin B12 from the R-B12 complex. The results support the observation that the external pancreatic secretion corrects malabsorption of vitamin B12 by an effect on the non-IF protein in the intestinal juice. Moreover, the results indicate that lysosomal enzymes are not involved in the intestinal absorption of vitamin B12.

This study has explored the nature of the molecular events which occur when C1 inactivator, a human plasma inhibitor of the complement, kinin-forming, coagulation, and fibrinolytic enzyme systems, interacts with C1s, plasmin, and trypsin. Purified inhibitor preparations demonstrated two bands, when examined by acrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The molecular weights of the major and minor bands were 105,000 and 96,000 daltons, respectively. The minor component appeared to be immunologically and functionally identical to the main C1 inactivator component. Loss of C1s and plasmin functional activity was associated with the formation of a 1:1 molar complex between the inhibitor and each enzyme. These complexes were stable in the presence of SDS and urea. The light chain of both these enzymes provided the binding site for C1 inactivator. Complex formation and enzyme inhibition occurred only with native and not with an inhibitor preparation denatured by acid treatment, thereby demonstrating the importance of conformational factors in the enzyme-inhibitor reaction. Although peptide bond cleavage of the C1 inactivator molecule by C1s was not documented, plasmin was found to degrade the inhibitor with the production of several characteristic derivatives. At least one of these products retained the ability to complex with C1s and plasmin. Trypsin, which failed to form a complex with C1 inactivator, degraded the inhibitor in a limited and sequential manner with the production of nonfunctional derivatives one of which appeared structurally similar to a plasmin-induced product. These studies therefore, provide new information concerning the molecular interactions between C1 inactivator and several of the proteases which it inhibits.

Sodium and potassium adenosine triphosphatase ((Na + K)-ATPase) consists of two polypeptides, a large molecular weight polypeptide (MW 84,000 to 102,000) and a sialoglycoprotein (MW 35,000 to 57,000). Trypsin treatment of this complex selectively cleaves the large polypeptide into two fragments with molecular weights of 62,000 and 43,000. Simultaneously with the appearance of these fragments, (Na + K)-APTase activity is destroyed. Trypsin treatment of phosphorylated enzyme shows that he 43,000 molecular weight fragment is phosphorylated. If (Na + K)-ATPase is digested with trypsin in the presence of ATP, a 90,000 molecular weight fragment is produced. Disappearance of the large polypeptide, and loss of ATPase activity parallel the production of this fragment. Addition of strophanthidin to this mixture significantly lowers the amount of the 90,000 molecular weight fragment produced. Experiments on (Na + K)-ATPase of the red cell membrane suggest that trypsin is cleaving (Na + K)-ATPase at the interior surface of the plasma membrane.

Basal and trypsin-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase activities of Escherichia coli K 12 have been characterized at pH 7.5 in the membrane-bound state and in a soluble form of the enzyme. The saturation curve for Mg2+/ATP = 1/2 was hyperbolic with the membrane-bound enzyme and sigmoidal with the soluble enzyme. Trypsin did not modify the shape of the curves. The kinetic parameters were for the membrane-bound ATPase: apparent Km = 2.5 mM, Vmax (minus trypsin) = 1.6 mumol-min-1-mg protein-1, Vmax (plus trypsin) = 2.44 mumol-min-1-mg protein-1; for the soluble ATPase: [S0.5] = 1.2 mM, Vmax (-trypsin) = 4 mumol-min-1-mg protein-1; Vmax (+ trypsin) = 6.6 mumol-min-1-mg protein-1. Hill plot analysis showed a single slope for the membrane-bound ATPase (n = 0.92) but two slopes were obtained for the soluble enzyme (n = 0.98 and 1.87). It may suggest the existence of an initial positive cooperativity at low substrate concentrations followed by a lack of cooperativity at high ATP concentrations. Excess of free ATP and Mg2+ inhibited the ATPase but excess of Mg/ATP (1/2) did not. Saturation for ATP at constant Mg2+ concentration (4 mM) showed two sites (groups) with different Kms: at low ATP the values were 0.38 and 1.4 mM for the membrane-bound and soluble enzyme; at high ATP concentrations they were 17 and 20 mM, respectively. Mg2+ saturation at constant ATP (8 mM) revealed michealian kinetics for the membrane-bound ATPase and sigmoid one for the protein in soluble state. When the ATPase was assayed in presence of trypsin we obtained higher Km values for Mg2+. These results might suggest that trypsin stimulates E. coli ATPase by acting on some site(s) involved in Mg2+ binding. Adenosine diphosphate and inorganic phosphate (Pi) act as competitive inhibitors of Escherichia coli ATPase. The Ki values for Pi were 1.6 +/- 0.1 mM for the membrane-bound ATPase and 1.3 +/- 0.1 mM for the enzyme in soluble form, the Ki values for ADP being 1.7 mM and 0.75 mM for the membrane-bound and soluble ATPase, respectively. Hill plots of the activity of the soluble enzyme in presence of ADP showed that ADP decreased the interaction coefficient at ATP concentrations below its Km value. Trypsin did not modify the mechanism of inhibition or the inhibition constants. Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (0.4 mM) inhibited the membrane-bound enzyme by 60-70% but concentrations 100 times higher did not affect the residual activity nor the soluble ATPase. This inhibition was independent of trypsin. Sodium azide (20 muM) inhibited both states of E. coli ATPase by 50%. Concentrations 25-fold higher were required for complete inhibition. Ouabain, atebrin and oligomycin did not affect the bacterial ATPase.

Trypsin (T) and chymotrypsin (CHT) activities in luminal contents of the ileum, caecum and sigmoideum were followed in conventional (6 animals), monoassociated (5) and germfree (5) rabbits by pH-stat automatic titration using p-toluenesulphonyl-L-arginine methylester and acetyl-L-tyrosine ethylester as substrates. In conventional rabbits with complete microbial flora an aborally increasing decline of both proteolytic activities of luminal contents was determined (ileum T 198.2 - CHT 100.0; signmoideum T 10m.2 - CHT 68.8 mrg/g of intestinal content). Monoassociated animals represent a group different from both germfree and conventional animals. Trypsin and chymotrypsin of intestinal contents were not significantly altered by the presence of megacaecum in germfree rabbits (ileum T 219.2 - CHT 160.2; sigmoideum T 208.8 - CHT 110.8 mug/g of intestinal content). Chymotrypsin in the intestinal contents appears more labile and more affected by microbial flora than trypsin.

By trypsin treatment of highly purified ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) from Micrococcus sp. ATCC 398E, two enzyme modifications have been obtained. (i) ATPase Ta, which has about the same activity as untreated ATPase. (ii) A protein complex Ti, which lacks ATPase activity, but nevertheless binds ATP as shown by affinity chromatography. Trypsin primarily shortens the alpha-chains of the "native" enzyme to alpha-chains and removes the gamma-subunit, thus yielding ATPase Ta. The formation of the protein complex Ti appears to be due to additional cleavage of one alpha-chain into at least two more fractions.

A study was made of the effect of plasmin and trypsin on the phospholipase activation, and also of the action of phospholipase A (cobra venom) on the release reaction and the erythrocyte and thrombocyte aggregation. Trypsin and fibrinolysin proved to activate phospholipase, this being accompanied by the accumulation of nonesterified fatty acids in the blood serum. Phospholipase A caused a release of the thromboplastic factor from erythrocytes and thrombocytes and their aggregation. The later is inhibited by albumin and EDTA. It is suggested that the action of the proteolytic enzymes on the blood formed elements was realized through the phospholipase activation.

Trypsin, thrombin, fibrinolysin, papain, chymothrypsin and urokinase were immobilized on aminopolystyrene resin by the reaction of diazocoupling. An activation of prothrombin and plasminogen and also hydrolysis of fibrin by immobilized enzymes were studied. The immobilized enzymes hydrolyzed N-benzoyl-1-arginine ethyl ester and L-tyrosine ethyl ester. The only preparation of immobilized thrombin possessed the coagulational activity. After the covalent binding trypsin and plasmin maintained the capacity to cause a fibrinolysis. Immobilized trypsin, plasmin, papain, chymotrypsin and urokinase exhibited the fibrinolytic effect due to convertion of plasminogen into plasmin.

In the presence of growth-limiting serum concentrations trypsin displays mitogenic activity on actively-growing but not quiescent BHK cells. These results suggest that BHK cells arrested in G1 (G0) are not sensitive to protease-induced growth stimulation. Previous work strongly suggested that the trypsin active-site is not directly involved in its mitogenic activity on BHK cells. Additional studies on denatured trypsin fragments further indicate that the molecular conformation and size of native trypsin may not be absolutely required for mitogenic activity. Cellular multiplication induced by the addition of fresh serum to quiescent BHK cultures is not inhibited by high concentrations of soybean trypsin inhibitor. Similar to our previous findings with trypsin, it has been further observed that plasmin is not sufficient to initiate the growth of BHK cells in soft agar. Trypsin also fails to enhance the growth of a thermosensitive polyoma-transformed BHK line in soft agar at the restrictive temperature. Finally, the growth of transformed BHK cells in soft agar does not display a requirement for plasminogen and is not inhibited by soybean trypsin inhibitor. These studies argue against the involvement of plasmin or other exogenous trypsin-like enzymes in the growth and transformation of BHK cells.
