Proteolytic cleavage of elafin by 20S proteasome may contribute to inflammation in acute lung injury.
RATIONALE We hypothesise that elafin levels in acute lung injury (ALI) decrease over time due, in part, to proteolytic degradation as observed in other lung diseases. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to characterise temporal changes in elafin concentration in patients with ALI and to evaluate whether a decrease in elafin levels is due to elevated protease activity. METHODS Bronchoalveol...
متن کاملThe 20S Proteasome Splicing Activity Discovered by SpliceMet
The identification of proteasome-generated spliced peptides (PSP) revealed a new unpredicted activity of the major cellular protease. However, so far characterization of PSP was entirely dependent on the availability of patient-derived cytotoxic CD8+ T lymphocytes (CTL) thus preventing a systematic investigation of proteasome-catalyzed peptide splicing (PCPS). For an unrestricted PSP identifica...
متن کاملSpectroscopic Studies on Titanium Ion Binding to the Apolactoferrin
Titanium (Ti) is a relatively abundant element that has found growing applications in medical science and recently some of Ti compounds are introduced as anticancer drugs. In spite of very limited data which exist on the Ti metabolism, some proteins might be involved in the mechanism of action of Ti. Up to our knowledge, there is not any report in the literature concerning binding of Ti to apol...
متن کاملSubunit arrangement in the human 20S proteasome.
In human 20S proteasomes two copies of each of seven different alpha-type and seven different beta-type subunits are assembled to form a stack of four seven-membered rings, giving the general structure alpha(1-7), beta(1-7), beta(1-7), alpha(1-7). By means of immunoelectron microscopy and chemical crosslinking of neighboring subunits, we have determined the positions of the individual subunits ...
متن کاملThe 20S proteasome of Streptomyces coelicolor.
20S proteasomes were purified from Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) and shown to be built from one alpha-type subunit (PrcA) and one beta-type subunit (PrcB). The enzyme displayed chymotrypsin-like activity on synthetic substrates and was sensitive to peptide aldehyde and peptide vinyl sulfone inhibitors and to the Streptomyces metabolite lactacystin. Characterization of the structural genes revea...
