  • Efficient production of native, biologically active human cystatin C by Escherichia coli
  • 1988
  • Ingår i: FEBS Letters. - 1873-3468. ; 236:1, s. 14-18
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • A cDNA encoding the mature human cysteine proteinase inhibitor cystatin C was fused to the coding sequence for the Escherichia coli outer membrane protein A signal peptide, and the recombinant gene was expressed in E. coli under the control of the λ PR promoter, an optimized Shine-Dalgarno sequence and the λ cI 857 repressor. When induced at 42°C, such cells expressed large amounts of recombinant cystatin C. The recombinant protein was isolated in high yield and characterized. All physicochemical properties investigated, including the positions of disulfide bonds, indicated that the E. coli derived cystatin C was identical to cystatin C isolated from human biological fluids, except that the proline residue in position three was not hydroxylated. The recombinant protein displayed full biological activity against papain, cathepsin B and dipeptidyl peptidase I.

  • Human cystatin D: cDNA cloning, characterization of the E. coli expressed inhibitor, and identification of the native protein in saliva
  • 1993
  • Ingår i: Journal of Biological Chemistry. - 1083-351X. ; 268:21, s. 15737-15744
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • A cDNA coding for cystatin D, a human member of the cystatin protein family, has been cloned after specific amplification of reverse- transcribed parotid gland RNA. After replacing the segment encoding the putative 20-residue signal peptide with one encoding the Escherichia coli OmpA leader sequence, the cDNA was expressed in E. coli. The isolated recombinant protein exhibited Ki values of 1.2 nM and > 1 microM for papain and cathepsin B, respectively. An antiserum raised against recombinant cystatin D recognized a protein in human saliva with electrophoretical mobility identical to that of the recombinant protein. Immunoenzymatic analysis revealed that this cysteine proteinase inhibitor is present in human saliva and tears at concentrations of 3.8 and 0.5 mg/liter, respectively, while it was not detected in seminal plasma, blood plasma, milk, or cerebrospinal fluid. Cystatin D purified from human saliva by immunosorption displayed a heterogeneous N-terminal end, with sequences starting at residues 5, 7, 9, and 11 of the predicted N-terminal portion of the mature protein. On the basis of structural and functional properties, cystatin D represents a novel cysteine proteinase inhibitor possibly playing a protective role against proteinases present in the oral cavity.

  • Importance of the evolutionarily conserved glycine residue in the N-terminal region of cystatin C (Gly-11) for cysteine endopeptidase inhibition
  • 1993
  • Ingår i: Biochemical Journal. - 0264-6021. ; 291:1, s. 123-129
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Human cystatin C variants in which the evolutionarily conserved Gly-11 residue has been replaced by residues with positively charged (Arg), negatively charged (Glu), bulky hydrophobic (Trp), or small (Ser or Ala) side-chains have been produced by site-directed mutagenesis and expression in Escherichia coli. The five variants were isolated and structurally verified. Their inhibitory properties were compared with those of wild-type recombinant cystatin C by determination of the equilibrium constants for dissociation (Ki) of their complexes with the cysteine endopeptidases papain and human cathepsin B and with the cysteine exopeptidase dipeptidyl peptidase I. The Ser-11 and Ala-11 cystatin C variants displayed Ki values for the two endopeptidases that were approx. 20-fold higher than those of wild-type cystatin C, while the corresponding values for the Trp-11. Arg-11 and Glu-11 variants were increased by a factor of about 2000. In contrast, the Ki values for the interactions of all five variants with the exopeptidase differed from that of wild-type cystatin C by a factor of less than 10. Wild-type cystatin C and the Ser-11, Ala-11 and Glu-11 variants were incubated with neutrophil elastase, which in all cases resulted in the rapid hydrolysis of a single peptide bond, between amino acid residues 10 and 11. The Ki values for the interactions with papain of these three N-terminal-decapeptide-lacking cystatin C variants were 20-50 nM, just one order of magnitude higher than the value for N-terminally truncated wild-type cystatin C, which in turn was similar to the corresponding values for the full-length Glu-11, Arg-11 and Trp-11 variants. These data indicate that the crucial feature of the conserved Gly residue in position 11 of wild-type cystatin C is that this residue, devoid of a side-chain, will allow the N-terminal segment of cystatin C to adopt a conformation suitable for interaction with the substrate-binding pockets of cysteine endopeptidases, resulting in high-affinity binding and efficient inhibition. The functional properties of the remaining part of the proteinase contact area, which is built from more C-terminal inhibitor segments, are not significantly affected even when amino acids with bulky or charged side-chains replace the Gly-11 residue of the N-terminal segment.
