Transformation of Swine Pepsinogen into Swine Pepsin by Chicken Pepsin
نویسندگان
چکیده
Activation of swine pepsinogen with chicken pepsin results in the formation of swine pepsin. Activation of chicken pepsinogen with swine pepsin results in the formation of chicken pepsin. The structure responsible for the species specificity of the enzyme is therefore present in the inactive precursor.

Immunological Studies on Pepsin and Pepsinogen
1. Alkali (pH 7.6)-denatured pepsins from swine, cattle, and guinea pigs precipitate in swine pepsin antiserum. Similarly treated pepsins from the rabbit, chicken, and shark do not. 2. Pepsin antisera react with both pepsin and pepsinogen, but do not react with the serum proteins from the homologous species. 3. Pepsinogen antisera react with pepsinogen, but not with twice crystallized pepsin, n...
متن کاملKinetics of the Formation of Pepsin from Swine Pepsinogen and Identification of an Intermediate Compound
A study of the kinetics of the transformation of swine pepsinogen into pepsin under a variety of conditions has been made. The results show that the transformation as a whole is essentially autocatalytic in nature under all conditions. Evidence is presented to show the existence of a compound intermediate between pepsinogen and pepsin. This compound was found to be a reversibly dissociable comp...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of chicken pepsinogen and chicken pepsin.
Chicken pepsinogen was extracted from the forestomach of chicken and purified by the consecutive application of acetone precipitation, chromatography on diethylaminoethyl cellulose, and gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. The purified pepsinogen was homogeneous on disc electrophoresis and sedimented as monodisperse material. Chicken pepsin was obtained by the activation of the pure zymogen at pH ...
متن کاملIsolation, Crystallization, and Properties of Swine Pepsinogen
1. A method is described for the preparation of pepsinogen from swine gastric mucosae which consists of extraction and fractional precipitation with ammonium sulfate solutions followed by two precipitations with a copper hydroxide reagent under particular conditions. Crystallization as very thin needles takes place at 10 degrees C., pH 5.0 and from 0.4 saturated ammonium sulfate solution contai...
متن کاملIsolation, Crystallization, and Properties of Pepsin Inhibitor
A method has been described for the isolation and crystallization of swine pepsin inhibitor from swine pepsinogen. Solubility experiments and fractional recrystallization show no drift in specific activity. The reversible combination of pepsin with the inhibitor was found to obey the mass law. The inhibitor is quite specific, failing to act on other proteolytic and milk clotting enzymes. The in...
