Proteinases, acid

Female NMRI mice were exposed to 100 ppm of hydrogen sulfide for 2 hours at 4-day intervals excitement was observed (Savolainen et al. 1980). Exposure also resulted in decreased cerebral ribonucleic acid (RNA), decreased orotic acid incorporation into the RNA fraction, and inhibition of cytochrome oxidase. An increase in the glial enzyme marker, 2, 3 -cyclic nucleotide-3 -phosphohydrolase, was seen. Neurochemical effects have been reported in other studies. Decreased leucine uptake and acid proteinase activity in the brain were observed in mice exposed to 100 ppm hydrogen sulfide for 2 hours (Elovaara et al. 1978). Inhibition of brain cytochrome oxidase and a decrease in orotic acid uptake were observed in mice exposed to 100 ppm hydrogen sulfide for up to 4 days (Savolainen et al. 1980). [Pg.68]

While the majority of attention has focused on peptides contained within the nervous system, two other important methods for delivering peptides to the vicinity of the mast cell have been established (1) peptides produced and secreted by other cells of inflammation that may affect mast-cell function and (2) the local generation of mast-cell-active peptides by secreted enzymes acting on circulating protein precursors. Examples of the former include several, as yet ill-defined, peptide factors and cationic proteins from other immunocompetent cells [66-69], defined lymphokines such as the interleukin-1 [70] and interleukin-3 [71], and tumour necrosis factor [70], Examples of the latter include bradykinin [72] and a recently identified peptide produced by the action of acid proteinases on albumin [73, 74]. [Pg.149]

Aspartic endopeptidases (EC 3.4.23) are the best-known aspartic hydrolases and the only ones to be presented here. These enzymes were formerly called acid proteinases because most of them are active at low pH. In con-... [Pg.78]

Combinations of several enzymes with different specificities are required for complete degradation of proteins into free amino acids. Proteinases and peptidases are found not only in the gastrointestinal tract (see p. 268), but also inside the cell (see below). [Pg.176]

Nitromethane was administered intraperitoneally (200 mg/kg bw) to male Wistar rats (three months of age) as a 10% solution in olive oil. The effects of nitromethane in the liver were detected only 48 h after administration and included a decrease in NADPH-cytochrome c reductase activity with proliferation of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. Nitromethane also caused an increase in brain acid proteinase (4 h after injection) and acetylcholine esterase activities (4, 24 and 48 h after injection) (Zitting etal, 1982). [Pg.493]

Cathepsin D (EC3.4.23.5). It has been known for more than 20 years that milk also contains an acid proteinase, (optimum pH ss 4.0) which is now known to be cathepsin D, a lysozomal enzyme. It is relatively heat labile (inactivated by 70°C x 10 min). Its activity in milk has not been studied extensively and its significance is unknown. At least some of the indigenous acid proteinase is incorporated into cheese curd its specificity on asl- and / -caseins is quite similar to that of chymosin but it has very poor milk-clotting activity (McSweeney, Fox and Olson, 1995). It may contribute to proteolysis in cheese but its activity is probably normally overshadowed by chymosin, which is present at a much higher level. [Pg.241]

Microbial proteinases can be classified by mechanism of action. Hartley (1960) divided them into four groups serine proteinases, thio proteinases, metalloproteinases, and acid proteinases. Morihara (1974) classified enzymes within these groups according to substrate specificity. Enzymes which split peptide substrates at the carboxyl side of specific amino acids are called carboxyendopeptidases, and those which split peptide substrates at the amino side of specific amino acids are called aminoendopeptidases. Acid proteinases, such as rennin and pepsin, split either side of specific aromatic or hydrophobic amino acid residues. The action of proteolytic enzymes on milk proteins has been reviewed by Visser (1981). [Pg.676]
