pubmed:abstractText
A new protease has been purified to homogeneity from rat submandibular gland homogenate by using DEAE-Sephadex chromatography, chromatofocusing, aprotinin-Sepharose affinity chromatography, and high-performance liquid chromatography. The enzyme has been named esterase B, since it represents the second major esterolytic peak on DEAE-Sephadex chromatography of submandibular gland homogenate. It is an acidic protein (pI = 4.45) with an apparent molecular weight of 27 000. It is heat-stable and has an optimum pH of 9.5. Esterase B hydrolyzed the synthetic substrates tosyl-L-arginine methyl ester and Val-Leu-Arg-p-nitroanilide (S2266). It also cleaved dog plasma kininogen to produce a kinin, identified as bradykinin on reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Esterase B, however, is only a weak kininogenase, since it had only 5% of the kininogenase activity of equimolar concentrations of glandular kallikrein and had no effect on rat mean blood pressure or on the isolated rat uterus. Esterase B activated plasminogen and had caseinolytic activity. It was inhibited by aprotinin, soybean trypsin inhibitor, lima bean trypsin inhibitor, phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride, antipain, leupeptin, and p-tosyl-L-lysine chloromethyl ketone. On double immunodiffusion, when reacted with kallikrein and tonin antisera, esterase B showed partial identity with kallikrein but not with tonin. On immunoelectrophoresis against kallikrein antisera, esterase B formed a precipitin arc at a position different from that of kallikrein. Esterase B appears to be a trypsin-like serine protease having some homology with glandular kallikrein.
