Immunological Studies on Pepsin and Pepsinogen
نویسندگان
چکیده
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, nor with the serum proteins from the homologous species. Positive reactions between activated pepsinogen and pepsinogen antiserum have been observed. It was possible to remove the reacting material from either the pepsinogen or the activated pepsinogen mixture. 4. Antisera made with serum proteins do not react with the homologous pepsin or pepsinogen.

Immunochemical Studies on the Components of the Pepsinogen System
Rabbit antisera to pepsin and pepsinogen were characterized by several immunological criteria. Both antisera inhibited the rennet activity of pepsin. Antipepsinogen protected pepsin from alkaline denaturation. Using antipepsinogen, precipitin analysis at pH 5.5 indicated that the native enzyme resembles the precursor more closely than did the denatured enzyme. However, all three proteins have s...
متن کاملMechanism of Intramolecular Activation of Pepsinogen EVIDENCE FOR AN INTERMEDIATE 6 AND THE INVOLVEMENT OF THE ACTIVE SITE OF PEPSIN IN THE INTRAMOLECULAR ACTIVATION OF PEPSINOGEN*
Intramolecular pepsinogen activation is inhibited either by pepstatin, a potent pepsin inhibitor, or by purified globin from hemoglobin, a good pepsin substrate. Also, pepsinogen at pH 2 can be bound to a pepstatin-Sepharose column and recovered as native zymogen upon elution in pH 8 buffer. Kinetic studies of the globin inhibition of pepsinogen activation show that globin binds to a pepsinogen...

متن کاملIntramolecular activation of porcine pepsinogen.
Conversion of pepsinogen to pepsin at acid pH involves an intramolecular reaction in which the unproteolyzed zymogen cleaves itself. This conclusion is based upon experiments in which pepsinogen, at low concentrations, was activated in the presence of substrate, hemoglobin. Under these conditions, the activation of pepsinogen is independent of pepsinogen concentration, and addition of pepsin do...
متن کاملUse of enhanced green fluorescent protein to determine pepsin at high sensitivity.
A fluorometric assay for pepsin and pepsinogen was developed using enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) as a substrate. Acid denaturation of EGFP resulted in a complete loss of fluorescence that was completely reversible on neutralization. In the proteolytic assay procedure, acid-denatured EGFP was digested by pepsin or activated pepsinogen. After neutralization, the remaining amount of un...
