Pepstatin Inhibition of Human Renin
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pepstatin has been shown to be an extremely potent inhibitor of human renin (Ki = 1.3 X lo-lo M). Kinetic analyses by several techniques show reversible interaction of pepstatin with renin and classical noncofipetitive inhibition. The high affinity of pepstatin for renin allows kinetic determination of the molarity of the enzyme in partially purified preparations. This method has been validated by parallel studies of pepstatin inhibition of pure porcine pepsin. A widely used preparation of human renin has been shown to contain about 0.1% of the pure enzyme. The maximum theoretical specific activity of human renin has been calculated from this value at 118 Goldblatt units per mg of enzyme protein.

متن کاملKinetics of the inhibitory effect of pepstatin on the reaction of hog renin with rat plasma substrate.
The reaction between hog renin and rat angiotensinogen followed Michaelis-Menten kinetics. A Km value of 1,109 ng angiotensin/ml was determined for the rate of angiotensin formation at pH 7.4 and 37°C. The pH optimum for the reaction of hog renin with rat angiotensinogen was between 6.8 and 7.0. Pepstatin inhibited the reaction in a noncompetitive way. The maximum inhibitory effect occurred at ...

The renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system is the well established endocrine system having significant role in preserving hemodynamic stability. Renin is secreted from the juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney. Phenylpiperazine derivatives have been reported as human renin inhibitor. To perform predictive QSAR modeling for 27 phenylpiperazine derivatives as renin enzyme inhibitors. The IC50 values ...
متن کاملBiochemical similarity of partially purified inactive renins from human plasma and kidney.
Inactive renin was partially purified from 4.5 liters of human plasma (502-fold, specific activity 0.8 X 10(-3) Goldblatt units/mg protein) and from 207 g renal cortex (103-fold, 52 X 10(-3) Goldblatt units/mg). In contrast to active renin, inactive renin from each source bound to Cibacron blue-agarose and was unable to bind to pepstatin-Sepharose. Both plasma and renal inactive renin had weake...
متن کاملThe storage form of human renal renin.
We isolated renin granules from cadaver kidneys using discontinuous sucrose density gradient centrifugation, and investigated the storage form of the renin from these granules. Approximately 23% of the total renin activity in the original homogenate was obtained from the surface phase between 1.6 and 1.7 M sucrose (Fraction 6). Granule renin extracted from the granules in Fraction 6 was separat...
