从赤子爱胜蚓(Eiseniafaetida)中纯化出的一种纤溶酶原激活剂(e-PA)在纤维蛋白平板上可表现出三种活性,分别记为:CFPg,uCFPg和uCF.为更好了解各种活性与e-PA的纤溶能力的关系,考察了在SDS和不同抑制剂存在下各种活性的变化.结果表明,SDS可以增强CFPg活性且使得e-PA变得对一些抑制剂更敏感;leupeptin,chymostatin,pepstatin,apro-tinin,phenylmethylsulfonylfluoride(PMSF)和dithiothreitol(DTT)对uCF没有影响;pep-statin能增强CFPg和uCFPg活性,E-64(一种巯基抑制剂)能增强uCFPg和uCF活性.这些现象说明不能简单将e-PA归结为丝氨酸蛋白酶或巯基蛋白酶.此外又以纤溶酶原为底物,分析了e-PA在体外降解天然蛋白质的肽键特异性,结果表明:e-PA可以切割碱性氨基酸,小的中性氨基酸及Met的羧基端,同时e-PA确能将纤溶酶原切割为纤溶酶;这一结论为e-PA有可能成为新型溶栓药物提供了生化基础.
One of the plasminogen activators (e-PA) purified from Eiseniafaetida showed three activities on the fibrin plate, denoted as CFPg, uCFPg and uCF, respectively. To better understand the relationship between various activities and fibrinolytic ability of e-PA, various changes in activity in the presence of SDS and various inhibitors were examined. The results showed that SDS could enhance CFPg activity and make e-PA more sensitive to some inhibitors; leupeptin, chymostatin, pepstatin, apro-tin, phenylmethylsulfonylfluoride (PMSF) and dithiothreitol Enhancing CFPg and uCFPg activity, E-64, a sulfhydryl inhibitor, enhances uCFPg and uCF activity. These phenomena suggest that e-PA can not simply be reduced to serine protease or thiol protease. In addition, plasminogen was used as a substrate to analyze the peptide bond specificity of e-PA degradation of native protein in vitro. The results showed that e-PA can cleave basic amino acids, small neutral amino acids and the carboxyl end of Met, At the same time, e-PA was able to cleave plasminogen into plasmin; this conclusion provides e-PA with the potential to become a biochemical basis for novel thrombolytic drugs.
