A purification procedure of cathepsin H from human kidney is presented. It includes gel filtration, ion exchange chromatography, and covalent chromatography on thiol Sepharose as an essential step. Purified cathepsin H emerges in an isoelectric focusing gel at pH 6.1 and 6.3. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate shows a molecular mass of about 28 kDa. Less than 20% of the enzyme preparation can be separated into a heavy (24 kDa) and a light chain (4 kDa) after reduction and gel filtration on Sephacryl S-200. The partial amino-acid sequence of human cathepsin H shows its close similarity to rat cathepsin H. Inhibition constants (Ki) of cathepsins H and B with chicken cystatin, two forms of human stefin A, human stefin B, and two forms of human cystatin C are in the range of 10(-9) to 10(-11)M.
本文介绍了一种从人肾中纯化组织蛋白酶H的方法。该方法包括凝胶过滤、离子交换色谱和以硫醇琼脂糖凝胶为关键步骤的共价色谱。纯化后的组织蛋白酶H在等电聚焦凝胶中pH值为6.1和6.3处出现。在十二烷基硫酸钠存在下的聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳显示其分子量约为28 kDa。还原后在Sephacryl S - 200上进行凝胶过滤,不到20%的酶制剂可分离为重链(24 kDa)和轻链(4 kDa)。人组织蛋白酶H的部分氨基酸序列显示其与大鼠组织蛋白酶H高度相似。组织蛋白酶H和B对鸡半胱氨酸蛋白酶抑制剂、两种形式的人丝抑素A、人丝抑素B以及两种形式的人半胱氨酸蛋白酶抑制剂C的抑制常数(Ki)在10^(-9)至10^(-11)M范围内。
