An inhibitor-proteinase complex consisting of human alpha 1-PI and human leukocyte elastase is chemotactic for human neutrophils. The chemotactic activity is optimal at 1 nM and is associated only with the alpha 1-PI portion of the complex. Neither HLE in the complex, free HLE, nor native alpha 1-PI possesses chemotactic activity for human neutrophils. alpha 1-PI in complex is hydrolyzed at the Met-358-Ser-359 bond. The chemotactic activity is associated with the Mr 4,200 fragment of alpha 1-PI that has Ser-359 as its NH2 terminus. The region of the HLE-alpha 1-PI complex that stimulates chemotaxis appears to be the same as that of the Mr 4,200 fragment generated by hydrolysis of the Pro-357-Met-358 bond during proteolytic inactivation of alpha 1-PI. The data suggest the presence of a neutrophil surface receptor bound by alpha 1-PI after the formation of a complex with HLE or after proteolytic degradation. This receptor may play a role in clearance of these modified alpha 1-PI molecules.
由人α1 - 抗胰蛋白酶(α1 - PI)和人白细胞弹性蛋白酶组成的抑制剂 - 蛋白酶复合物对人中性粒细胞具有趋化作用。趋化活性在1 nM时最佳,且仅与复合物的α1 - PI部分相关。复合物中的人白细胞弹性蛋白酶(HLE)、游离的HLE以及天然的α1 - PI对人中性粒细胞均不具有趋化活性。复合物中的α1 - PI在甲硫氨酸358 - 丝氨酸359键处被水解。趋化活性与以丝氨酸359为氨基末端的α1 - PI的4200道尔顿片段相关。HLE - α1 - PI复合物中刺激趋化作用的区域似乎与α1 - PI在蛋白水解失活过程中因脯氨酸357 - 甲硫氨酸358键水解产生的4200道尔顿片段的区域相同。数据表明在与HLE形成复合物后或蛋白水解降解后,存在一种与α1 - PI结合的中性粒细胞表面受体。该受体可能在清除这些修饰的α1 - PI分子中发挥作用。
