碱性蛋白酶交联聚集体的制备及其催化性能研究

碱性蛋白酶在食品、医药、酿造、丝绸、皮革等行业中发挥着重要作用。制备了碱性蛋白酶交联体,并对其催化性能进行研究。在最佳制备条件下(90%叔丁醇作为沉淀剂,沉淀时间为15min,交联剂浓度为33mmol/L,交联时间为6h),交联酶的酶活回收率为22.6%。与游离酶相比,交联酶的最适pH值向碱性方向变化,由7.5变为8.0,最适温度由60℃变成65℃。酶动力学研究表明,交联酶对酪蛋白的催化水解能力(4.3min-1)比游离酶(3.7min-1)更高。尽管交联酶最大反应速度V_max(9.8mg/(mL·min))低于游离酶(13.3mg/(mL·min)),但交联酶对底物的亲和力K_m(2.3mg/mL)比游离酶(3.6mg/mL)有所增加,而且其热稳定性和酸碱稳定性都得到一定程度的提高。另外,在磷酸盐缓冲液中重复使用5和8批次后,交联酶还能保持82.5%和56.5%的酶活性。

SPINK6蛋白在人乳腺癌细胞MCF-7中的表达与定位研究

为探讨Kazal型丝氨酸蛋白酶抑制剂6(SPINK6)蛋白的表达定位与其抗肿瘤作用之间的关系,本文通过免疫荧光的方法研究SPINK6蛋白在不同细胞系中的表达与定位,并构建产生pEGFPN1-SPINK6载体转染至乳腺癌细胞系MCF-7中,使用ER-Tracker标记内质网、lyso-Tracker标记溶酶体、Dil标记细胞膜,共聚焦显微镜观察SPINK6-GFP融合蛋白的定位.结果表明,天然状态的SPINK6蛋白主要分布在细胞质和细胞膜上,并在细胞质中有一定的聚集.对照载体pEGFP-N1转染的细胞表达的绿色荧光主要分布在细胞核中,细胞质中也有均匀分布,而SPINK6-GFP融合蛋白聚集于内质网和细胞膜上.说明SPINK6蛋白在合成后被分泌到细胞膜外发挥其作用,可能与抗炎症与抗肿瘤转移相关.

The multifaceted role of periostin in tumorigenesis

Periostin, also called osteoblast-specific factor 2 (OSF-2), is a member of the fasciclin family and a disulfide-linked cell adhesion protein that has been shown to be expressed preferentially in the periosteum and periodontal ligaments, where it acts as a critical regulator of bone and tooth formation and maintenance. Furthermore, periostin plays an important role in cardiac development. Recent clinical evidence has also revealed that periostin is involved in the development of various tumors, such as breast, lung, colon, pancreatic, and ovarian cancers. Periostin interacts with multiple cell-surface receptors, most notably integrins, and signals mainly via the PI3-K/Akt and other pathways to promote cancer cell survival, epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT), invasion, and metastasis. In this review, aspects related to the function of periostin in tumorigenesis are summarized.     

Protein complexes in snake venom

Snake venom contains mixture of bioactive proteins and polypeptides. Most of these proteins and polypeptides exist as monomers, but some of them form complexes in the venom. These complexes exhibit much higher levels of pharmacological activity compared to individual components and play an important role in pathophysiological effects during envenomation. They are formed through covalent and/or non-covalent interactions. The subunits of the complexes are either identical (homodimers) or dissimilar (heterodimers; in some cases subunits belong to different families of proteins). The formation of complexes, at times, eliminates the non-specific binding and enhances the binding to the target molecule. On several occasions, it also leads to recognition of new targets as protein-protein interaction in complexes exposes the critical amino acid residues buried in the monomers. Here, we describe the structure and function of various protein complexes of snake venoms and their role in snake venom toxicity.

Summary One of two cases of acquired immune deficiency syndrome-related persistent generalized lymphadenopathy revealed a profoundly altered pattern of dendritic reticulum cells as demonstrated by immunoreactive acid cysteine proteinase inhibitor. The alterations could be related to totally or partially destructed lymphoid secondary follicles.Acknowledgments.
