MENT, a heterochromatin protein that mediates higher order chromatin folding, is a new serpin family member. (1/1699)

Terminal cell differentiation is correlated with the extensive sequestering of previously active genes into compact transcriptionally inert heterochromatin. In vertebrate blood cells, these changes can be traced to the accumulation of a developmentally regulated heterochromatin protein, MENT. Cryoelectron microscopy of chicken granulocyte chromatin, which is highly enriched with MENT, reveals exceptionally compact polynucleosomes, which maintain a level of higher order folding above that imposed by linker histones. The amino acid sequence of MENT reveals a close structural relationship with serpins, a large family of proteins known for their ability to undergo dramatic conformational transitions. Conservation of the "hinge region" consensus in MENT indicates that this ability is retained by the protein. MENT is distinguished from the other serpins by being a basic protein, containing several positively charged surface clusters, which are likely to be involved in ionic interactions with DNA. One of the positively charged domains bears a significant similarity to the chromatin binding region of nuclear lamina proteins and with the A.T-rich DNA-binding motif, which may account for the targeting of MENT to peripheral heterochromatin. MENT ectopically expressed in a mammalian cell line is transported into nuclei and is associated with intranuclear foci of condensed chromatin.  (+info)

The intracellular serpin proteinase inhibitor 6 is expressed in monocytes and granulocytes and is a potent inhibitor of the azurophilic granule protease, cathepsin G. (2/1699)

The monocyte and granulocyte azurophilic granule proteinases elastase, proteinase 3, and cathepsin G are implicated in acute and chronic diseases thought to result from an imbalance between the secreted proteinase(s) and circulating serpins such as alpha1-proteinase inhibitor and alpha1-antichymotrypsin. We show here that the intracellular serpin, proteinase inhibitor 6 (PI-6), is present in monocytes, granulocytes, and myelomonocytic cell lines. In extracts from these cells, PI-6 bound an endogenous membrane-associated serine proteinase to form an sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-stable complex. Using antibodies to urokinase, elastase, proteinase 3, or cathepsin G, we demonstrated that the complex contains cathepsin G. Native cathepsin G and recombinant PI-6 formed an SDS-stable complex in vitro similar in size to that observed in the extracts. Further kinetic analysis demonstrated that cathepsin G and PI-6 rapidly form a tight 1:1 complex (ka = 6.8 +/- 0.2 x 10(6) mol/L-1s-1 at 17 degrees C; Ki = 9.2 +/- 0.04 x 10(-10) mol/L). We propose that PI-6 complements alpha1-proteinase inhibitor and alpha1-antichymotrypsin (which control extracellular proteolysis) by neutralizing cathepsin G that leaks into the cytoplasm of monocytes or granulocytes during biosynthesis or phagocytosis. Control of intracellular cathepsin G may be particularly important, because it has recently been shown to activate the proapoptotic proteinase, caspase-7.  (+info)

Role for caspase-mediated cleavage of Rad51 in induction of apoptosis by DNA damage. (3/1699)

We report here that the Rad51 recombinase is cleaved in mammalian cells during the induction of apoptosis by ionizing radiation (IR) exposure. The results demonstrate that IR induces Rad51 cleavage by a caspase-dependent mechanism. Further support for involvement of caspases is provided by the finding that IR-induced proteolysis of Rad51 is inhibited by Ac-DEVD-CHO. In vitro studies show that Rad51 is cleaved by caspase 3 at a DVLD/N site. Stable expression of a Rad51 mutant in which the aspartic acid residues were mutated to alanines (AVLA/N) confirmed that the DVLD/N site is responsible for the cleavage of Rad51 in IR-induced apoptosis. The functional significance of Rad51 proteolysis is supported by the finding that, unlike intact Rad51, the N- and C-terminal cleavage products fail to exhibit recombinase activity. In cells, overexpression of the Rad51(D-A) mutant had no effect on activation of caspase 3 but did abrogate in part the apoptotic response to IR exposure. We conclude that proteolytic inactivation of Rad51 by a caspase-mediated mechanism contributes to the cell death response induced by DNA damage.  (+info)

Bcl-xL blocks activation of related adhesion focal tyrosine kinase/proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 and stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase in the cellular response to methylmethane sulfonate. (4/1699)

The stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase (JNK) is induced in response to ionizing radiation and other DNA-damaging agents. Recent studies indicate that activation of JNK is necessary for induction of apoptosis in response to diverse agents. Here we demonstrate that methylmethane sulfonate (MMS)-induced activation of JNK is inhibited by overexpression of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-xL, but not by caspase inhibitors CrmA and p35. By contrast, UV-induced JNK activity is insensitive to Bcl-xL. The results demonstrate that treatment with MMS is associated with an increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of related adhesion focal tyrosine kinase (RAFTK)/proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (PYK2), an upstream effector of JNK and that this phosphorylation is inhibited by overexpression of Bcl-xL. Furthermore, overexpression of a dominant-negative mutant of RAFTK (RAFTK K-M) inhibits MMS-induced JNK activation. The results indicate that inhibition of RAFTK phosphorylation by MMS in Bcl-xL cells is attributed to an increase in tyrosine phosphatase activity in these cells. Hence, treatment of Bcl-xL cells with sodium vanadate, a tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor, restores MMS-induced activation of RAFTK and JNK. These findings indicate that RAFTK-dependent induction of JNK in response to MMS is sensitive to Bcl-xL, but not to CrmA and p35, by a mechanism that inhibits tyrosine phosphorylation and thereby activation of RAFTK. Taken together, these findings support a novel role for Bcl-xL that is independent of the caspase cascade.  (+info)

Ligand binding properties of the very low density lipoprotein receptor. Absence of the third complement-type repeat encoded by exon 4 is associated with reduced binding of Mr 40,000 receptor-associated protein. (5/1699)

The very low density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR) binds, among other ligands, the Mr 40,000 receptor-associated protein (RAP) and a variety of serine proteinase-serpin complexes, including complexes of the proteinase urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) with the serpins plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and protease nexin-1 (PN-1). We have analyzed the binding of RAP, uPA.PAI-1, and uPA.PN-1 to two naturally occurring VLDLR variants, VLDLR-I, containing all eight complement-type repeats, and VLDLR-III, lacking the third complement-type repeat, encoded by exon 4. VLDLR-III displayed approximately 4-fold lower binding of RAP than VLDLR-I and approximately 10-fold lower binding of the most C-terminal one of the three domains of RAP. In contrast, the binding of uPA.PAI-1 and uPA.PN-1 to the two VLDLR variants was indistinguishable. Surprisingly, uPA.PN-1, but not uPA.PAI-1, competed RAP binding to both VLDLR variants. These observations show that the third complement-type repeat plays a crucial role in maintaining the contact sites needed for optimal recognition of RAP, but does not affect the proteinase-serpin complex contact sites, and that two ligands can show full cross-competition without sharing the same contacts with the receptor. These results elucidate the mechanisms of molecular recognition of ligands by receptors of the low density lipoprotein receptor family.  (+info)

Suppression of breast cancer growth and metastasis by a serpin myoepithelium-derived serine proteinase inhibitor expressed in the mammary myoepithelial cells. (6/1699)

A serpin was identified in normal mammary gland by differential cDNA sequencing. In situ hybridization has detected this serpin exclusively in the myoepithelial cells on the normal and noninvasive mammary epithelial side of the basement membrane and thus was named myoepithelium-derived serine proteinase inhibitor (MEPI). No MEPI expression was detected in the malignant breast carcinomas. MEPI encodes a 405-aa precursor, including an 18-residue secretion signal with a calculated molecular mass of 46 kDa. The predicted sequence of the new protein shares 33% sequence identity and 58% sequence similarity to plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-1 and PAI-2. To determine whether MEPI can modulate the in vivo growth and progression of human breast cancers, we transfected a full-length MEPI cDNA into human breast cancer cells and studied the orthotopic growth of MEPI-transfected vs. control clones in the mammary fat pad of athymic nude mice. Overexpression of MEPI inhibited the invasion of the cells in the in vitro invasion assay. When injected orthotopically into nude mice, the primary tumor volumes, axillary lymph node metastasis, and lung metastasis were significantly inhibited in MEPI-transfected clones as compared with controls. The expression of MEPI in myoepithelial cells may prevent breast cancer malignant progression leading to metastasis.  (+info)

Regulation of pro-apoptotic leucocyte granule serine proteinases by intracellular serpins. (7/1699)

Caspase activation and apoptosis can be initiated by the introduction of serine proteinases into the cytoplasm of a cell. Cytotoxic lymphocytes have evolved at least one serine proteinase with specific pro-apoptotic activity (granzyme B), as well as the mechanisms to deliver it into a target cell, and recent evidence suggests that other leucocyte granule proteinases may also have the capacity to kill if released into the interior of cells. For example, the monocyte/granulocyte proteinase cathepsin G can activate caspases in vitro, and will induce apoptosis if its entry into cells is mediated by a bacterial pore-forming protein. The potent pro-apoptotic activity of granzyme B and cathepsin G suggests that cells producing these (or other) proteinases would be at risk from self-induced death if the systems involved in packaging, degranulation or targeting fail and allow proteinases to enter the host cell cytoplasm. The purpose of the present review is to describe recent work on a group of intracellular serine proteinase inhibitors (serpins) which may function in leucocytes to prevent autolysis induced by the granule serine proteinases.  (+info)

Anti-viral strategies of cytotoxic T lymphocytes are manifested through a variety of granule-bound pathways of apoptosis induction. (8/1699)

Cytotoxic T cells and natural killer cells together constitute a major defence against virus infection, through their ability to induce apoptotic death in infected cells. These cytolytic lymphocytes kill their targets through two principal mechanisms, and one of these, granule exocytosis, is essential for an effective in vivo immune response against many viruses. In recent years, the authors and other investigators have identified several distinct mechanisms that can induce death in a targeted cell. In the present article, it is postulated that the reason for this redundancy of lethal mechanisms is to deal with the array of anti-apoptotic molecules elaborated by viruses to extend the life of infected cells. The fate of such a cell therefore reflects the balance of pro-apoptotic (immune) and anti-apoptotic (viral) strategies that have developed over eons of evolutionary time.  (+info)

Squamous cell carcinoma antigen: a role in the early identification of nodal metastases in men with squamous cell carcinoma of the penis. To evaluate whether serum squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCAg) measurements may be of use in identifying nodal metastases in patients with SCC of the penis after treating the primary tumour. The levels of SCCAg were analysed in 11 men with penile SCC between 1994 and 2001. An elevated SCCAg level had a sensitivity of 57% (95% confidence interval, CI, 18-90%) and a specificity of 100% (CI 40-100%) for nodal metastases. Levels of SCCAg increased exponentially in patients who developed nodal metastases after treatment of the primary tumour, and were elevated before clinical or radiological evidence of nodal disease. Either the absolute level or the rate of rise of SCCAg may be a useful tool with which to follow patients after excision of the primary tumour. It may be more sensitive than computed tomography and magnetic resonanc imaging in detecting recurrence, ...

Sequence similarity suggests that PI-6 most resembles the ovalbumin (ov) serpins which include plasminogen activator inhibitor-2, the squamous cell carcinoma antigen, monocyte/neutrophil elastase inhibitor, and maspin. Although these proteins are associated with carcinomas and inflammation, they appear to have diverse functions and little is known of their physiological roles. In this study we have characterized cDNA and genomic clones encoding mouse PI-6 in order to analyze the localization, structure, and expression of the gene. The reactive center residues (Arg-Cys) are conserved in the ...

Our analysis of cervical cancer patients treated with CCRT indicated that the sensitivity and specificity of two consecutive increases in serum SCC-Ag for predicting tumor recurrence were 61.1% and 97.9%, respectively. These results are comparable to previously reported results. For example, several studies of cervical cancer patients showed that an elevated serum SCC-Ag level was associated with 70-92% rate of recurrent tumors [8, 11, 14-19]; in addition, the specificity of SCC-Ag during the follow-up period was quite high, varying from 95 to 98% [7, 16, 20]. According to our ROC analysis, the area under the ROC curve indicated the ΔSCC-Ag was 0.83 for patients who had elevated pre-treatment SCC-Ag. Therefore, our results indicate that ΔSCC-Ag had good clinical performance in detection of recurrent disease.. As described above, we defined biochemical failure as two consecutive SCC-Ag values above normal. There are no standard criteria used to define biochemical failure in cervical cancer, and ...

Overexpression of squamous cell carcinoma antigen in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: clinicopathological correlationsOverexpression of squamous cell carcinoma antigen in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: clinicopathological correlations
BACKGROUND: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic progressive disorder with a poor prognosis. Epithelial instability is a crucial step in the development and progression of the disease, including neoplastic transformation. Few tissue markers for epithelial instability have been reported in IPF. Squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCA) is a serine protease inhibitor typically expressed by dysplastic and neoplastic cells of epithelial origin, more often in squamous cell tumours. At present, no information is available on its expression in IPF. METHODS: SCCA and transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) expression in surgical lung biopsies from 22 patients with IPF and 20 control cases was examined. An in vitro study using A549 pneumocytes was also conducted to investigate the relationship between SCCA and TGFbeta expression. SCCA and TGFbeta epithelial expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry and reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR). SCCA values were correlated with different ...

Purpose: : To determine the effect of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-mediated proteolysis on the anti-angiogenic activity of pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) in vitro and determine the MMP-mediated cleavage sites within the primary sequence of PEDF. Furthermore, we have determined the effect of inhibiting MMPs on the intraocular levels of PEDF protein expressed from an adenoviral expression system in a mouse eye. Methods: : To determine the site at which PEDF is cleaved by MMP-9, purified PEDF was incubated with and without MMP-9 (1:200 mass ratio MMP to PEDF) at 37°C for 24h then with trypsin (1:40 trypsin to PEDF) overnight. The peptides were separated by reverse-phase HPLC on a C-18 column, collected, treated with 2-sulfobenzoic acid anhydride, and sequenced by MALDI-MS. The anti-angiogenic activity of MMP-treated PEDF was quantified using the mouse aortic ring bioassay and a standard invasion assay.

The integrity of the vascular barrier, which is essential to blood vessel homoeostasis, can be disrupted by a variety of soluble permeability factors during sepsis. Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), a potent endogenous anti-angiogenic molecule, is significantly increased in sepsis, but its role in endothelial dysfunction has not been defined. To assess the role of PEDF in the vasculature, we evaluated the effects of exogenous PEDF in vivo using a mouse model of cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis and in vitro using human dermal microvascular endothelial cells (HDMECs). In addition, PEDF was inhibited using a PEDF-monoclonal antibody (PEDF-mAb) or recombinant lentivirus vectors targeting PEDF receptors, including adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) and laminin receptor (LR). Our results showed that exogenous PEDF induced vascular hyperpermeability, as measured by extravasation of Evans Blue (EB), dextran and microspheres in the skin, blood, trachea and cremaster muscle, both ...

Is Pigment Epithelium-Derived Factor a Real Anti-Angiogenic Factor? | IOVS | ARVO JournalsIs Pigment Epithelium-Derived Factor a Real Anti-Angiogenic Factor? | IOVS | ARVO Journals
Purpose: : It has been reported that Pigment Epithelium-Derived Factor (PEDF) is a potent anti-angiogenic factor, whose concentration in the vitreous is reported to be around 1500 ng/ml. However, the precise mechanisms are not clarified to date. Therefore, we tried to examine how PEDF has suppressive effects on neovascularization by way of in vitro assays. Methods: : Bovine retinal microvascular endothelial cells (BRECs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were used for in vitro assays. To estimate the effect of PEDF on the proliferation, migration and tube formation by endothelial cells, thymidine uptake, boyden chamber assay and tube formation assay were performed. Moreover, to investigate whether PEDF suppresses the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) or its receptor (VEGFR2) and inhibits VEGF-dependent phosphorylation of VEGFR2 or p44/42 MAP kinase, Northern and Western blot analyses were performed. SU5416 was used as a selective inhibitor of VEGFR2 ...

Pigment Epithelium-Derived Factor Regulates Lipid Metabolism via Adipose Triglyceride LipasePigment Epithelium-Derived Factor Regulates Lipid Metabolism via Adipose Triglyceride Lipase
OBJECTIVE: Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) is an adipocyte-secreted factor involved in the development of insulin resistance in obesity. Previous studies have identified PEDF as a regulator of triacylglycerol metabolism in the liver that may act through adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL). We used ATGL(-/-) mice to determine the role of PEDF in regulating lipid and glucose metabolism. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Recombinant PEDF was administered to ATGL(-/-) and wild-type mice, and whole-body energy metabolism was studied by indirect calorimetry. Adipose tissue lipolysis and skeletal muscle fatty acid metabolism was determined in isolated tissue preparations. Muscle lipids were assessed by electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry. Whole-body insulin sensitivity and skeletal muscle glucose uptake were assessed. RESULTS: PEDF impaired the capacity to adjust substrate selection, resulting in a delayed diurnal decline in the respiratory exchange ratio, and suppressed daily fatty ...

PTH-329 Expression of pigment epithelium-derived factor in colorectal cancer [Abstract] -ORCAPTH-329 Expression of pigment epithelium-derived factor in colorectal cancer [Abstract] -ORCA
Introduction Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) is a 50kDa, secreted glycoprotein that has been identified as a member of the serpin gene family and has been shown to exhibit neurotrophic, neuroprotective, anti-angiogenic and anti-tumourigenic effects. The aims of our study were to determine the expression profile of PEDF in a range of colorectal cell lines and its association with clinical and pathological data. Method Six human cell lines (RKO and HT115 are colonic adenocarcinoma, HRT-18 is rectal adenocarcinoma, COLO-201 is metastatic adenocarcinoma (originating from ascites), LS174T is a mucinous adenocarcinoma, and CCD-33C0 is a normal colorectal fibroblast cell line) were analysed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and quantitative transcript analysis (qPCR). Primary colorectal cancer tissue was collected at operation and analysed using qPCR. Results PEDF transcript was positive in RKO, HRT-18, LS174T and CCD-33C0 cell lines but negative in HT115 and COLO-201. On qPCR, PEDF ...

Increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammation are major contributors to the development and progression of diabetes-associated erectile dysfunction (DMED). As an endogenous antioxidant and anti-inflammatory factor, the potential implication of pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) in DMED has not been revealed. To assess the potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory functions of PEDF in DMED, we first demonstrated that PEDF was significantly decreased at the levels of the mRNA and protein in the penis of diabetic rats compared with normal controls. To test the hypothesis that decreased the penile levels of PEDF are associated with oxidative stress and inflammation in DMED, an adenovirus expressing PEDF (Ad-PEDF) or the same titer of control virus (Ad-GFP) was intracavernously administered at 2 weeks after diabetic onset. After 6 weeks of treatment, we found that administration of Ad-PEDF could significantly increase erectile response to cavernosal nerve stimulation ...

Influence of Pigment Epithelium-Derived Factor on Outcome after Striatal Cerebral Ischemia in the MouseInfluence of Pigment Epithelium-Derived Factor on Outcome after Striatal Cerebral Ischemia in the Mouse
We here suggest that pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) does not have an effect on lesion size, behavioral outcome, cell proliferation, or cell death after striatal ischemia in the mouse. PEDF is a neurotrophic factor with neuroprotective, antiangiogenic, and antipermeability effects. It influences self-renewal of neural stem cells and proliferation of microglia. We investigated whether intraventricular infusion of PEDF reduces infarct size and cell death, ameliorates behavioral outcome, and influences cell proliferation in the one-hour middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) mouse model of focal cerebral ischemia. C57Bl6/N mice were implanted with PEDF or artificial cerebrospinal fluid (control) osmotic pumps and subjected to 60-minute MCAO 48 hours after pump implantation. They received daily BrdU injections for 7 days after MCAO in order to investigate cell proliferation. Infarct volumes were determined 24 hours after reperfusion using magnetic resonance imaging. We removed the pumps on day 5

PEDF - WikipediaPEDF - Wikipedia
Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) also known as serpin F1 (SERPINF1), is a multifunctional secreted protein that has anti-angiogenic, anti-tumorigenic, and neurotrophic functions. Found in vertebrates, this 50 kDa protein is being researched as a therapeutic candidate for treatment of such conditions as choroidal neovascularization, heart disease, and cancer. In humans, pigment epithelium-derived factor is encoded by the SERPINF1 gene. Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) was originally discovered by Joyce Tombran-Tink and Lincoln Johnson in the late 1980s. This group was studying human retinal cell development by identifying secreted factors produced by the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE), a layer of cells that supports the retina. Upon noticing RPE produced a factor that promoted the differentiation of primitive retinal cells into cells of a neuronal phenotype, they set out to determine the identity of the factor. They isolated proteins unique to RPE cells and tested the ...

The serpin superfamily is characterized by proteins that fold into a conserved tertiary structure and exploits a sophisticated and irreversible suicide-mechanism of inhibition. Vertebrate serpins are classified into six groups (V1-V6), based on three independent biological features-genomic organization, diagnostic amino acid sites and rare indels. However, this classification system was based on the limited number of mammalian genomes available. In this study, several non-mammalian genomes are used to validate this classification system using the powerful Bayesian phylogenetic method. This method supports the intron and indel based vertebrate classification and proves that serpins have been maintained from lampreys to humans for about 500 MY. Lampreys have fewer than 10 serpins, which expand into 36 serpins in humans. The two expanding groups V1 and V2 have SERPINB1/SERPINB6 and SERPINA8/SERPIND1 as the ancestral serpins, respectively. Large clusters of serpins are formed by local duplications of these

We investigated the significance of high- mobility group box1 (HMGB1) and T-cell-mediated immunity and prognostic value in cervical cancer. HMGB1, forkhead/winged helix transcription factor p3 (Foxp3), IL-2, and IL-10 protein expression was analyzed in 100 cervical tissue samples including cervical cancer, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), and healthy control samples using immunohistochemistry. Serum squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag) was immunoradiometrically measured in 32 serum samples from 37 cases of squamous cervical cancer. HMGB1 and SCC-Ag were then correlated to clinicopathological characteristics. HMGB1 expression tends to increase as cervical cancer progresses and it was found to be significantly correlated to FIGO stage and lymph node metastasis. These findings suggest that HMGB1 may be a useful prognostic indicator of cervical carcinoma. In addition, there were significant positive relationships between HMGB1 and FOXP3 or IL-10 expression (both p | 0.05). In contrast, HMGB1

A 55-year-old female presented with abnormal vaginal bleeding and was diagnosed with FIGO Stage IIA (T2aN0M0, UICC 6th edition) squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix. The patient had an elevated value of serum squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC), 5.3 ng/ml (normal value: 0-1.5 ng/ml). The patient was treated with external beam RT (EBRT) of 50 Gy in 25 fractions to the pelvis using conventional X-rays (consisting of 26 Gy of whole pelvis fields and the last 24 Gy of center shielding pelvis fields) and 4 fractions of high-dose-rate (HDR) intracavitary brachytherapy (BT) with the total dose of 24 Gy given to point A. There were no acute adverse effects greater than Grade 3. However, there were Grade 2 upper gastrointestinal symptoms and Grade 1 neutropenia. The tumor completely disappeared, and the serum SCC levels returned to normal after therapy. Therefore, the patient received no further treatment. Twenty-three months later, the patient developed bilateral edema in the legs. A ...

Molecular characterization of centerin, a germinal centre cell serpinMolecular characterization of centerin, a germinal centre cell serpin
Centerin [SERPINA9/GCET1 (germinal centre B-cell-expressed transcript 1)] is a serpin (serine protease inhibitor) whose expression is restricted to germinal centre B-cells and lymphoid malignancies with germinal centre B-cell maturation. Expression of centerin, together with bcl-6 and GCET2, constitutes a germinal centre B-cell signature, which is associated with a good prognosis in diffuse large B-cell lymphomas, but the molecular basis for this remains to be elucidated. We report here the cloning, expression and molecular characterization of bacterial recombinant centerin. Biophysical studies demonstrated that centerin was able to undergo the stressed to relaxed conformational change which is an absolute requirement for protease inhibitory activity. Kinetic analysis showed that centerin rapidly inhibited the serine protease trypsin (ka=1.9×105 M−1·s−1) and also demonstrated measurable inhibition of thrombin (ka=1.17×103 M−1·s−1) and plasmin (ka=1.92×103 M−1·s−1).

abstract = {Members of the serpin superfamily of proteins have been found in all living organisms, although rarely in bacteria or fungi. They have been extensively studied in mammals, where many rapid physiological responses are regulated by inhibitory serpins. In addition to the inhibitory serpins, a large group of noninhibitory proteins with a conserved serpin fold have also been identified in mammals. These noninhibitory proteins have a wide range of functions, from storage proteins to molecular chaperones, hormone transporters, and tumor suppressors. In contrast, until recently, very little was known about insect serpins in general, or Drosophila serpins in particular. In the last decade, however, there has been an increasing interest in the serpin biology of insects. It is becoming clear that, like in mammals, a similar wide range of physiological responses are regulated in insects and that noninhibitory serpin-fold proteins also play key roles in insect biology. Drosophila is also an ...

Squamous cell carcinoma antigen recognized by T-cells 3Squamous cell carcinoma antigen recognized by T-cells 3
The protein encoded by this gene is an RNA-binding nuclear protein that is a tumor-rejection antigen. This antigen possesses tumor epitopes capable of inducing HLA-A24-restricted and tumor-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes in cancer patients and may be useful for specific immunotherapy. This gene product is found to be an important cellular factor for HIV-1 gene expression and viral replication. It also associates transiently with U6 and U4/U6 snRNPs during the recycling phase of the spliceosome cycle. This encoded protein is thought to be involved in the regulation of mRNA splicing.

Maspin (mammary serine protease inhibitor) is a non-inhibitory serpin that is expressed predominantly in normal mammary epithelial cells but at significantly reduced levels or absent in most breast carcinomas. It has the ability to block the growth, invasiveness, and metastatic potential of breast and lung tumors. This anti-tumor activity is achieved, in part, by the ability of Maspin to inhibit angiogenesis and to preferentially promote apoptosis of tumor cells. Recombinant human Maspin is a 42.2 kDa non-glycosylated protein containing 375 amino acid residues ...

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy on SerpinHitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy on Serpin
The majority of serpin diseases are due to protein aggregation and are termed serpinopathies.[9][63] Serpins are vulnerable to disease-causing mutations that promote formation of misfolded polymers due to their inherently unstable structures.[63] Well-characterised serpinopathies include α1-antitrypsin deficiency (alpha-1), which may cause familial emphysema and sometimes liver cirrhosis, certain familial forms of thrombosis related to antithrombin deficiency, types 1 and 2 hereditary angioedema (HAE) related to deficiency of C1-inhibitor, and familial encephalopathy with neuroserpin inclusion bodies (FENIB; a rare type of dementia caused by neuroserpin polymerisation).[8][9][68]. Each monomer of the serpin aggregate exists in the inactive, relaxed conformation (with the RCL inserted into the A-sheet). The polymers are therefore hyperstable to temperature and unable to inhibit proteases. Serpinopathies therefore cause pathologies similarly to other proteopathies (e.g. prion diseases) via two ...

Maspin, a member of the Serpin protease inhibitor family, is overexpressed in poorly differentiated colorectal tumors and more frequently found in tumors with microsatellite instability. Immunohistochemical nuclear Maspin staining is predominantly seen in tumor cells at the invasion front of such cancers, suggesting that this molecule is associated with local tumor cell infiltration and aggressiveness. In a retrospective study, we studied nuclear Maspin expression as a potential prognostic tool in a total of 172 primary stage III colon cancers by immunohistochemistry. Of those 172 patients, 76 were treated by surgery only, and 96 patients received additional adjuvant 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) based chemotherapy. Nuclear Maspin expression was an independent adverse prognostic factor for overall survival in our patient cohort (hazard ratio 2.08; 95% CI, 1.13-3.81; p = 0.018). However, patients with primary tumors expressing Maspin in the nucleus showed a significant treatment benefit from 5-FU ...

Since 1987 her research has focused on the serpin family of SERine PRoteinase INhibitors, which play important regulatory roles in vivo. They now recognise that the physicochemical properties of the serpin structure that confer protease inhibitor activity also render these proteins sensitive to post-translational modifications (i.e. oxidation, nitrosylation, inter- or intramolecular interactions and non-specific cleavage). These altered forms of inhibitory serpins are detected in tissues and fluids recovered from inflammatory sites, but the important questions of how they are generated, what their biological activities are, and which of them are directly linked to pathologies and/or may be useful markers for characterisation of disease states, remain to be answered. Her objective is to address this challenge, focusing on the role of native (inhibitory) and post-translationally modified (non-inhibitory) forms of Alpha1-Antitrypsin in obstructive pulmonary disease and Alpha1-antichymotrypsin in ...

Attention, guys! This news might be a little bit surprising, but scientists from worldwide believe that they have uncovered a key reason why obese people have a higher risk of health complications when compared to people who are normal-sized!. This time, the specific protein in our body named Pigment Epithelium-derived Factor (PEDF) is the one to be blamed here, as its the main substance that is secreted by fat cells!. For your information, the PEDF can only be produced by fat cells in people, especially for those who have a problem with being overweight. The most shocking thing is the PEDF sends a signal to all the tissues in the body hence, triggering the development of insulin resistance. This amazing discovery may eventually be known as the main condition that leads to type II diabetes!. Besides that, the raising of PEDF levels is also linked to a number of other complications, such as heart disease and high blood pressure.. It seems like we should keep our eyes in these nasty PEDF ...

(Of course Id be too afraid to try something like that for fear of ruining a headpin.) Then of course your earrings are all so stunning. The way you combined the art beads for the necklace focal is fabulous and adding the seed beads to the chain makes the while thing magical. And last but not least, the glaze on the headpins you threw in the kiln is delicious. ReplyDelete ...

abstract = {Serpins compose the largest superfamily of peptidase inhibitors and are well known as regulators of hemostasis and thrombolysis. Studies using model organisms, from plants to vertebrates, now show that serpins and their unique inhibitory mechanism and conformational flexibility are exploited to control proteolysis in molecular pathways associated with cell survival, development, and host defense. In addition, an increasing number of non-inhibitory serpins are emerging as important elements within a diversity of biological systems by serving as chaperones, hormone transporters, or anti-angiogenic factors ...

Protein Z (PZ) binds to PZ-dependent inhibitor (ZPI) and accelerates the inhibition of the coagulation protease, activated factor X (FXa), in the presence of phospholipids and Ca2+. A 2.3A resolution crystal structure of PZ complexed with ZPI shows that ZPI is a typical serine protease inhibitor and that PZ has a serine protease fold with distorted oxyanion hole and S1 pocket. The 2 molecules bind with fully complementary surfaces spanning over 2400A(2) and involving extensive ionic and hydrophobic interactions. ZPI has an unusual shutter region with a negatively charged residue buried within the hydrophobic core of the molecule. This unique Asp(213) is critical in maintaining the balanced metastability required for optimal protease inhibition, especially when PZ is bound, with its replacement with Asn resulting in increased thermal stability, but decreased efficiency of protease inhibition. The structure of ZPI shows negatively and positively charged surfaces on top of the molecule, in keeping with

Objectives- The number of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) that can be obtained from adult bone marrow and peripheral blood to treat cardiovascular diseases is limited. The goal was to examine the endothelial potential of Wharton jelly in human umbilical cord (WJC)-derived stem cells and evaluate their potential to affect neointimal formation after vascular injury.. Methods and Results- Mesenchymal cells (MCs) were isolated from WJC and cultured in endothelial growth medium. Differentiation into late outgrowth endothelial cells (WJC-OECs) was demonstrated by incorporation of acetylated low-density lipoprotein and expression of the endothelial-specific markers. Transplantation of these cells into wire-injured femoral arteries in mice led to rapid reendothelialization. At 4 weeks after injury, the neointima/media area ratio was reduced and strong expression of pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) compared to saline-or MC- or cord blood-OEC-treated mice. WJC-OECs-conditioned medium has an ...

Rat kallikrein-binding protein is a novel serine-proteinase inhibitor that forms a covalent complex with tissue kallikrein. We have purified rat kallikrein-binding protein and cloned the cDNA and the gene encoding rat kallikrein-binding protein [Chao, Chai, Chen, Xiong, Chao, Woodley-Miller, Wang, Lu and Chao (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 16394-16401; Chai, Ma, Murray, Chao and Chao (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 16029-16036]. In the present study, we have expressed rat kallikrein-binding protein in Escherichia coli with a T7-polymerase/promoter expression system. A high level of expression was detected by an e.l.i.s.a. with an average of 24.2 mg of recombinant rat kallikrein-binding protein per 1 of culture. The recombinant protein appeared as a major protein in a crude extract of Escherichia coli on SDS/PAGE. It showed a molecular mass of 43 kDa and was recognized by polyclonal antibody to the native rat kallikrein-binding protein in Western-blot analysis. The recombinant rat kallikrein-binding ...

SERPINB1 - WikipediaSERPINB1 - Wikipedia
Leukocyte elastase inhibitor (LEI) also known as serpin B1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SERPINB1 gene. It is a member of the clade B serpins or ov-serpins (ovalbumin related serpins) founded by ovalbumin. MNEI (monocyte/neutrophil elastase inhibitor) is the mouse orthologue of human SerpinB1. SerpinB1 is a cytoplasmic serine protease inhibitor of polymorphonuclear neutrophils. Among other serine proteases, it specifically inhibits neutrophil elastase, PR3 and cathepsin G, all found in neutrophil granules, by a suicide inhibition mechanism. SerpinB1 was found to reduce tissue damage caused by the mentioned proteases during inflammation and has a role in neutrophil homeostasis in mice. In various infection models (e.g. pneumonia) correlation of SerpinB1 absence and lack of microbial clearance have been shown. Different knockout strains serve as model to investigate the role of SerpinB1 in vivo. Serpin GRCh38: Ensembl release 89: ENSG00000021355 - Ensembl, May 2017 GRCm38: Ensembl ...

Altogether the inhibitory serpins make up some 10% in molar terms, of the proteins in human plasma. Also present, in plasma, though in smaller concentrations, are other serpins that have lost their inhibitory activity but have taken on other functions vital to life; examples are the vasopressor peptide source angiotensinogen, and the thyroxine and corticosteroid binding globulins, TBG and CBG. The reason for the evolutionary success of the serpins is their possession, uniquely amongst the many families of serine protease inhibitors, of a mobile reactive site loop. It is the ability of this loop to profoundly change its conformation that enables the serpins to bind to their target proteases as a virtually irreversible complex. ...

Crystal structure of uncleaved ovalbumin at 1.95-A resolution.Crystal structure of uncleaved ovalbumin at 1.95-A resolution.
Stein P.E., Leslie A.G.W., Finch J.T., Carrell R.W.. Ovalbumin, the major protein in avian egg-white, is a non-inhibitory member of the serine protease inhibitor (serpin) superfamily. The crystal structure of uncleaved, hen ovalbumin was solved by the molecular replacement method using the structure of plakalbumin, a proteolytically cleaved form of ovalbumin, as a starting model. The final refined model, including four ovalbumin molecules, 678 water molecules and a single metal ion, has a crystallographic R-factor of 17.4% for all reflections between 6.0 and 1.95 A resolution. The root-mean-square deviation from ideal values in bond lengths is 0.02 A and in bond angles is 2.9 degrees. This is the first crystal structure of a member of the serpin family in an uncleaved form. Surprisingly, the peptide that is homologous to the reactive centre of inhibitory serpins adopts an alpha-helical conformation. The implications for the mechanism of inhibition of the inhibitory members of the family is ...

abstract = {BACKGROUND: The Drosophila melanogaster genome contains 29 serpin genes, 12 as single transcripts and 17 within 6 gene clusters. Many of these serpins have a conserved hinge motif characteristic of active proteinase inhibitors. However, a substantial proportion (42%) lacks this motif and represents non-inhibitory serpin-fold proteins of unknown function. Currently, it is not known whether orthologous, inhibitory serpin genes retain the same target proteinase specificity within the Drosophilid lineage, nor whether they give rise to non-inhibitory serpin-fold proteins or other, more diverged, proteins. RESULTS: We collated 188 orthologues to the D. melanogaster serpins from the other 11 Drosophilid genomes and used synteny to find further family members, raising the total to 226, or 71% of the number of orthologues expected assuming complete conservation across all 12 Drosophilid species. In general the sequence constraints on the serpin-fold itself are loose. The critical Reactive ...

The molecular changes associated with the transition of melanoma cells from radial growth phase (RGP) to vertical growth phase (VGP) and the metastatic phenotype are not very well defined. However, some of the genes involved in this process and their transcriptional regulation are beginning to be elucidated. For example, the switch from RGP to VGP and the metastatic phenotype is associated with loss of the AP-2α transcription factor. AP-2α regulates the expression of c-KIT, MMP-2, VEGF, and the adhesion molecule MCAM/MUC18. Recently, we reported that AP-2α also regulates two G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) PAR-1 and PAFR. In turn, the thrombin receptor, PAR-1, regulates the expression of the gap junction protein Connexin-43 and the tumor suppressor gene Maspin. Activation of PAR-1 also leads to overexpression and secretion of proangiogenic factors such as IL-8, uPA, VEGF, PDGF, as well certain integrins. PAR-1 also cooperates with PAFR to regulate the expression of the MCAM/MUC18 via ...

PEDF-induced alteration of metabolism leading to insulin resistancePEDF-induced alteration of metabolism leading to insulin resistance
Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) is an anti-angiogenic, immunomodulatory, and neurotrophic serine protease inhibitor protein. PEDF is evolving as a novel metabolic regulatory protein that plays a causal role in insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is the central pathogenesis of metabolic disorders such as obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, polycystic ovarian disease, and metabolic syndrome, and PEDF is associated with them. The current evidence suggests that PEDF administration to animals induces insulin resistance, whereas neutralisation improves insulin sensitivity. Inflammation, lipolytic free fatty acid mobilisation, and mitochondrial dysfunction are the proposed mechanism of PEDF-mediated insulin resistance. This review summarises the probable mechanisms adopted by PEDF to induce insulin resistance, and identifies PEDF as a potential therapeutic target in ameliorating insulin resistance.. ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Accelerated evolution in the reactive centre regions of serine protease inhibitors. AU - Hill, R E. AU - Hastie, N D. PY - 1987/3/5. Y1 - 1987/3/5. N2 - The serine protease inhibitors (serpins) are a family of proteins that function to control the action of serine proteases in many diverse physiological processes. The functional region or reactive centre of these inhibitors is near the C-terminal end and is an exposed site that acts as a bait for the appropriate serine protease to recognize and covalently bind. The specificity of the inhibitor is determined, at least in part, by a single amino acid that resides in this region at the P1 position. We show here that following a gene duplication event the reactive centres of three related rodent protease inhibitors have diverged from each other at unprecedented rates. This has resulted in proteins with different predicted specificities and we postulate that these changes were fixed by positive darwinian selection and that the most ...

Osteogenesis imperfecta, type V | Connective Tissue Gene TestsOsteogenesis imperfecta, type V | Connective Tissue Gene Tests
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), or brittle bone disease, is a heritable disorder of connective tissue characterized by bone fragility and low bone mass. OI is clinically and genetically heterogeneous with severity varying from mild to perinatal lethal. Mutations in the COL1A1 and COL1A2 genes cause approximately 90% of OI cases. COL1A1 and COL1A2 encode the alpha 1 and alpha 2 procollagen chains of type I collagen. Mutations in these genes cause autosomal dominant OI; OI types I (MIM 166200), II (MIM 166210), III (MIM 259420) and IV (MIM 166220). Mutations in the IFITM5 can also cause autosomal dominant OI, OI type V (MIM 610967). IFITM5 encodes interferon-induced transmembrane protein 5, also known as bone restricted ifitm-like protein, a molecule of unknown function. Mutations in twelve genes have been linked to autosomal recessive OI or autosomal recessive OI-like disorders. One of these genes, SERPINF1, encodes pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), a strong inhibitor of angiogenesis. PEDF ...

Serpins (serine protease inhibitors) comprise a superfamily of more than forty proteins which are implicated in various regulatory cascades in vivo such as blood coagulation, fibrinolysis, complement activation, matrix proteolysis, and inflammation. Since these 45 kD proteins undergo a massive beta-sheet rearrangement during the course of their biological function, serpins are intriguing from the perspectives of protein folding as well as medical relevance. Antichymotrypsin has been engineered to be an inhibitor of human neutrophil elastase in vitro, and the engineered serpin exhibits antiinflammatory properties in vivo. We have determined the structure of this serpin, and current work focuses on a structure-assisted approach toward engineering the specificity and stability of the active serpin. Additionally, we will determine the structure of the serpin in its complex with a target serine protease, and we will also determine the structures of other members of the serpin superfamily, e.g., those ...

High resolution structure of cleaved Serpin 42 Da from Drosophila melanogaster | BMC Structural Biology | Full TextHigh resolution structure of cleaved Serpin 42 Da from Drosophila melanogaster | BMC Structural Biology | Full Text
The Drosophila melanogaster Serpin 42 Da gene (previously Serpin 4) encodes a serine protease inhibitor that is capable of remarkable functional diversity through the alternative splicing of four different reactive centre loop exons. Eight protein isoforms of Serpin 42 Da have been identified to date, targeting the protease inhibitor to both different proteases and cellular locations. Biochemical and genetic studies suggest that Serpin 42 Da inhibits target proteases through the classical serpin suicide inhibition mechanism, however the crystal structure of a representative Serpin 42 Da isoform remains to be determined. We report two high-resolution crystal structures of Serpin 42 Da representing the A/B isoforms in the cleaved conformation, belonging to two different space-groups and diffracting to 1.7 Å and 1.8 Å. Structural analysis reveals the archetypal serpin fold, with the major elements of secondary structure displaying significant homology to the vertebrate serpin, neuroserpin. Key residues

A serpin regulates dorsal-ventral axis formation in the Drosophila embryo. - Oxford NeuroscienceA serpin regulates dorsal-ventral axis formation in the Drosophila embryo. - Oxford Neuroscience
Extracellular serine protease cascades have evolved in vertebrates and invertebrates to mediate rapid, local reactions to physiological or pathological cues. The serine protease cascade that triggers the Toll signaling pathway in Drosophila embryogenesis shares several organizational characteristics with those involved in mammalian complement and blood clotting. One of the hallmarks of such cascades is their regulation by serine protease inhibitors (serpins). Serpins act as suicide substrates and are cleaved by their target protease, forming an essentially irreversible 1:1 complex. The biological importance of serpins is highlighted by serpin dysfunction diseases, such as thrombosis caused by a deficiency in antithrombin. Here, we describe how a serpin controls the serine protease cascade, leading to Toll pathway activation. Female flies deficient in Serpin-27A produce embryos that lack dorsal-ventral polarity and show uniform high levels of Toll signaling. Since this serpin has been recently shown to

To our knowledge, maspin is the only serpin that sensitizes apoptosis, whereas all of the other serpins thus far implicated in apoptosis regulation appear to be antiapoptotic (17 , 32 , 33) . Thus, the existing literature offers little insight into the possible molecular mode of maspin action. The goal of the present study was to identify the specific target molecule(s), the modification of which by maspin sensitizes prostate and breast tumor cells toward potential cancer chemotherapeutic agents. By using multiple maspin-transfected cell lines in vitro, we obtained cellular, molecular, and biochemical evidence that supports a key role for Bax in maspin-mediated apoptosis sensitization. Although we may not have exhausted our search because of the ever-growing number of apoptosis regulators, our data seem sufficient to support our new hypothesis that the specific up-regulation of Bax, without changing Bcl-2, Bcl-xl, and Bak expression in maspin-transfected cells, may tip the balance of pro- versus ...

CrmA inhibits its target proteases via a pseudosubstrate mechanism of action. The interaction between the protease and a cleavage site within the reactive center loop (RCL) of CrmA is proposed to provoke a rapid and dramatic conformational change that converts this external loop to a strand within a β-sheet. Stable complexes have been detected between CrmA and its target caspases [19,29,30], consistent with a model in which the enzymes catalytic dyad becomes distorted, leading to the thioacyl enzyme intermediate being trapped so the cleavage reaction is not completed. Caspase-1 and -8 heterotetramers were observed to dissociate into separate subunits during this process, with the larger subunit remaining covalently linked to CrmA [30]. The only experimentally derived structures of Spi-2 family members were of CrmA cleaved by subtilisin [16] or an unidentified bacterial protease [31]. These enzymes cleaved CrmA at sites distinct from, but near to, the caspase scissile bond that links residues ...
