[Effect of covalent binding of aprotinin with a polysaccharide carrier on its inhibition of kallikrein from human plasma, porcine pancreatic kallikrein and trypsin].
1987
: The inhibition of trypsin, human blood plasma kallikrein and porcine pancreatic kallikrein by aprotinin (native and immobilized on carboxymethyl ester of dextran) was investigated. The experimental values of Ki of native and immobilized aprotinin--enzyme complexes are equal to 0.037 and 0.045 nM for trypsin, 0.38 and 112.3 nM for pancreatic kallikrein and 34.4 and 454.5 nM for plasma kallikrein with N alpha-benzoyl-L-arginine ethyl ester as substrate, and to 82.6 and 231.7 nM for plasma kallikrein with a natural substrate--kininogen. These data suggest that covalent binding of aprotinin to the water-soluble polysaccharide carrier does not interfere with its interaction with trypsin, whereas the inhibition of kallikreins decreases, especially that of pancreatic kallikrein. The experimental results indicate the marked differences in the structure of the binding site of the active center (or its environment) of plasma and pancreatic kallikreins, on one hand, and trypsin, on the other, as well as the differences between the plasma and pancreatic kallikreins. A high requirement of kallikreins to the maintenance of the native conformation of aprotinin during immobilization is postulated.
