TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo khoa học: Kininogen-derived peptides for investigating the putative vasoactive properties of human cathepsins K and L

Macrophages at an inflammatory site release massive amounts of proteolytic enzymes, including lysosomal cys-teine proteases, which colocalizewith their circulating, tight-binding inhibitors (cystatins, kininogens), so modifying the protease/antiprotease equilibrium in favor of enhanced proteolysis. We have explored the ability of human cath-epsins B, KandL to participate in the production of kinins, using kininogens and synthetic peptides that mimic the insertion sites of bradykinin on human kininogens | Eur.

We have explored the ability of human cathepsins B K and L to participate in the production of kinins using kininogens and synthetic peptides that mimic the insertion sites of bradykinin on human kininogens. Although both cathepsins processed high-molecular weight kininogen under stoichiometric conditions only cathepsin L generated significant amounts of immunoreactive kinins. Cathepsin L exhibited higher specificity constants kcat Km than tissue kallikrein hK1 and similar Michaelis constants towards kininogen-derived synthetic substrates. A 20-mer peptide whose sequence encompassed kininogen residues Ile376 to Ile393 released bradykinin BK 80 and Lys-bradykinin 20 when incubated with cathepsin L. By contrast cathepsin K did not release any kinin but a truncated kinin metabolite BK 5-9 FSPFR 385-389 . Accordingly cathepsin K rapidly produced BK 5-9 from bradykinin and Lys-bradykinin and BK 5-8 from des-Arg9-bradykinin by cleaving the Gly384-Phe385 bond. Data suggest that extracellular cysteine proteases may participate in the regulation of kinin levels at inflammatory sites and clearly support that cathepsin K may act as a potent kininase.
