Inhibition of human pancreatic ribonuclease by the human ribonuclease inhibitor protein.
The ribonuclease inhibitor protein (RI) binds to members of the bovine pancreatic ribonuclease (RNase A) superfamily with an affinity in the femtomolar range. Here, we report on structural and energetic aspects of the interaction between human RI (hRI) and human pancreatic ribonuclease (RNase 1). The structure of the crystalline hRI x RNase 1 complex was determined at a resolution of 1.95 A, re...
متن کاملRibonuclease inhibitor regulates neovascularization by human angiogenin.
Human angiogenin (ANG) is a homologue of bovine pancreatic ribonuclease (RNase A) that induces neovascularization. ANG is the only human angiogenic factor that possesses ribonucleolytic activity. To stimulate blood vessel growth, ANG must be transported to the nucleus and must retain its catalytic activity. Like other mammalian homologues of RNase A, ANG forms a femtomolar complex with the cyto...
متن کاملInteraction of onconase with the human ribonuclease inhibitor protein.
One of the tightest known protein-protein interactions in biology is that between members of the ribonuclease A superfamily and the ribonuclease inhibitor protein (RI). Some members of this superfamily are able to kill cancer cells, and the ability to evade RI is a major determinant of whether a ribonuclease will be cytotoxic. The archetypal cytotoxic ribonuclease, onconase (ONC), is in late-st...
متن کاملPurification of human spleen ribonuclease by immunoabsorption. Similarity of the enzyme with human liver ribonuclease.
Human spleen RNase was purified using an immunoabsorbant produced with anti-human liver RNase serum. The purification was more rapid than the procedure used to purify the liver RNase, yet the final specific activity was similar. Problems encountered previously using immunoabsorbants to purify enzymes were to a large degree avoided by injecting only microgram amounts of human liver RNase directl...
متن کاملAn endogenous ribonuclease inhibitor regulates the antimicrobial activity of ribonuclease 7 in the human urinary tract
Recent studies stress the importance of antimicrobial peptides in protecting the urinary tract from infection. Previously, we have shown that ribonuclease 7 (RNase 7) is a potent antimicrobial peptide that has a broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against uropathogenic bacteria. The urothelium of the lower urinary tract and intercalated cells of the kidney produce RNase 7, but regulation of i...
