Incubation of human serum alpha 1-antichymotrypsin with human pancreatic elastase 2 or porcine pancreatic elastase results in the complete inhibition of each enzyme as determined by spectrophotometric assays. alpha 1-Antichymotrypsin reacts much more rapidly with the human than with the porcine enzyme. The inhibitor: enzyme molar ratio, required to obtain full inhibition of enzymatic activity, is equal to 1.25/1 when alpha 1-antichymotrypsin reacts with human pancreatic elastase 2 while it is markedly higher with porcine pancreatic elastase (5.5/1). Patterns obtained by SDS/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the reaction products show the formation with both enzymes of an equimolar complex (Mr near 77 000) and the release of a fragment migrating as a peptide of Mr near 5000. Moreover a free proteolytically modified form of alpha 1-antichymotrypsin, electrophoretically identical with that obtained in the reaction with cathepsin G or bovine chymotrypsin, is produced in the reaction with each elastase but in a much greater amount when alpha 1-antichymotrypsin reacts with porcine elastase than with human elastase. As a consequence of our findings, the specificity of alpha 1-antichymotrypsin, so far limited to the inhibition of chymotrypsin-like enzymes from pancreas and leukocyte origin, has to be extended to the two pancreatic elastases investigated in this work. A contribution of alpha 1-antichymotrypsin to the regulatory balance between plasma inhibitors and human pancreatic elastase 2 in pancreatic diseases is suggested.

A peptidase (GICP) that cleaves the Gln-Ile bond of a peptide Gly-Ile-Asp-Val-Gln-Ile-Tyr(T-1), a sequence in phenylalanine oxidase, was purified from bovine pancreas. The purified enzyme had an Mr of approximately 29,000, as determined by SDS-PAGE, and its N-terminal sequence was identical to that of bovine pancreatic elastase II. The enzyme released Gly-Ile-Asp-Val-Gln and Ile-Tyr from T-1 (Km = 8.3 microM k(cat) = 2.1 s(-1)) and the catalytic efficiency (2.6 X 10(5) M(-1)s(-1)) was comparable to those of elastase II from porcine pancreas and rat mesenteric arterial bed perfusate. The P1 site specificity of GICP toward oxidized insulin A and B chains suggested that major cleavage sites were the peptide bond at the C-terminal side of Gln, Leu, His, and Tyr residues.

A fibrinolytic enzyme, myulchikinase, from a Korean seasoning ingredient, myul-chi-jeot-gal, has been purified to electrophoretic homogeneity. The molecular mass of the myulchikinase was estimated to about 28 kDa by SDS-PAGE and gel filtration. Amino acid sequence of the NH2-terminal of myulchikinase showed significant homology with other fibrinolytic enzymes including trypsin from starfish, katsuwokinase, and rat pancreatic elastase II. The purified myulchikinase hydrolyzed various synthetic substrates with different substrate specificity and cytotoxic to the tumor cell lines.
