Purification of human renin by affinity chromatography using a new peptide inhibitor of renin, H.77 (D-His-Pro-Phe-His-LeuR-Leu-Val-Tyr).

چکیده
A new affinity column for renin was prepared by coupling the isosteric peptide inhibitor of renin, H.77 (D-His-Pro-Phe-His-LeuR-Leu-Val-Tyr, where R is a reduced isosteric bond, -CH2-NH-), to activated 6-aminohexanoic acid-Sepharose 4B. Chromatography of a crude extract of human kidney cortex on this material resulted in a 5500-fold purification of renin in 76% yield. The purified enzyme (specific activity 871 units/mg) was free of non-specific acid-proteinase activity and was stable at pH 6.8 and -20 degrees C over a period of several weeks.

Kinetics of the Reaction of Renin with Nine Synthetic Peptide Substrates
A number of peptides have been synthesized which represent portions of the tetradecapeptide renin substrate molecule, and which contain the hydrolyzable leu-leu bond. An automatic chemical method for determination of the velocity of the reaction of renin with these compounds was developed. Application of the method at several levels of substrate concentration permitted construction of Lineweave...
متن کاملThe Preparation, Purification, and Amino Acid Sequence of a Polypeptide Renin Substrate
A purified preparation of a polypeptide renin substrate prepared by tryptic degradation of the protein renin substrate has been analyzed by the fluorodinitrobenzene method and after degradation with renin, carboxypeptidase, and phenylisothiocyanate, has been found to possess the amino acid sequence; asp-arg-val-tyr-ileu-his-pro-phe-his-leu-leu-val-tyr-ser. The first 10 of these amino acids cons...
متن کاملIs renin a factor in the etiology of essential hypertension?
The widespread clinical study of converting-enzyme inhibitors has shown that they are effective antihypertensive drugs even in patients who may manifest either normal or decreased plasma renin activity. This suggests either that renin in a site other than plasma may play a contributory role in essential hypertension or that the hypotensive effect is caused by increased concentrations of kinins ...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulation of Angiotensin I: precursor of Angiotensin II
Hypertension or high blood pressure is one of the threatening problems in the world nowadays. The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) or the renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) helps to regulate long term blood pressure and extra cellular volume in the body. The system can be activated when there is a loss of blood volume or a drop in blood pressure. AngiotensinI (Ang I) is an oligopeptide, ...
متن کاملA human neutrophil-dependent pathway for generation of angiotensin II. Purification of the product and identification as angiotensin II.
A human neutrophil lysosomal protease interacts at physiologic pH with a 62,000--67,000-mol wt plasma protein substrate to generate a vasoactive, smooth muscle-contracting "neutral" peptide. The peptide product of this system, previously designated the "neutral" peptide-generating pathway, was generated from purified components and purified by Bio-Gel P2 gel filtration and reverse-phase high pe...
