Murine IL-2-activated, adherent natural killer (A-NK) cells produce proteolytic activities (including a chymase and a tryptase) which appear to be components of the proteasome/multicatalytic proteinase complex and appear to represent the mouse homologues of the rat A-NK cell A-NKP 2 and A-NKP 1 protease components. The chymase is readily inhibited by Z-Gly-Gly-Phe chloromethylketone (Z-GGF) and to a lesser extent by N-tosyl-L-phenylalanyl-chloromethylketone (TPCK). In addition, this activity is inhibited by 3,4-dichloroisocoumarin (DCI), a suicide inhibitor for both chymotryptic and tryptic proteolytic enzymes. Protease inhibitors reduced A-NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity against P815 target cells, most prominently with inhibitors of chymotryptic and tryptic enzymes, including TPCK, DCI and Z-GGF. A polyclonal rabbit antibody raised against rat liver proteasome immunofluorescently labeled the cytoplasm of 4-day-cultured murine A-NK cells, multiple granules in 5 to 6-day cultures and large intracytoplasmic pools in cells cultured longer. Ultrastructurally this shift in labeling over time corresponded to an immunogold redistribution to non-membrane delineated mucoid masses. A minor nuclear labeling was noted at all time points, whereas the cisternae of the endoplasmic reticulum or Golgi region were negative. It is concluded that murine A-NK cells synthesize and accumulate proteasome in large intracytoplasmic pools, non-delineated by membranes which can occupy up to 80% of the A-NK cellular volume. The potential function of the proteasome produced by A-NK cells including cell-mediated cytotoxicity against tumor target cells remains to be elucidated.
