To investigate the possible degradation of the intramuscular connective tissue (IMCT) with cathepsin L, isolated IMCTs were incubated with purified cathepsin L in vitro. Here, we prepared purified cathepsin L from bovine pancreas by using DEAE Sephacel, Sephacryl S-100 HR, SP Sepharose FF, and con A-Sepharose affinity chromatography in sequence. An SDS-PAGE analysis of CNBr-digested peptides showed that the degradation of collagen in IMCT could take place on terminal non-helical peptides rather than the triple helix region. Decorin (DCN) was clearly degraded at a pH of 5.0. The T and T of intramuscular connective tissue decreased to 41.41 °C and 43.79 °C, respectively. In the cathepsin L treatment of pH 5.0, the decreases in the T and T of IMCT were more sensitive than they were at pH 5.5~6.5.
为研究组织蛋白酶L对肌内结缔组织(IMCT)的潜在降解作用,将分离出的IMCTs与纯化的组织蛋白酶L在体外进行孵育。在此,我们依次使用DEAE Sephacel、Sephacryl S - 100 HR、SP Sepharose FF和伴刀豆球蛋白A - Sepharose亲和层析从牛胰腺中制备纯化的组织蛋白酶L。对溴化氰消化肽段的SDS - PAGE分析表明,IMCT中胶原蛋白的降解可能发生在末端非螺旋肽段而非三螺旋区域。在pH为5.0时,核心蛋白聚糖(DCN)明显降解。肌内结缔组织的热变性温度T₀和热焓变ΔH分别降至41.41℃和43.79℃。在pH 5.0的组织蛋白酶L处理中,IMCT的T₀和ΔH的降低比在pH 5.5至6.5时更敏感。
