Several protease inhibitors were found in the seeds of a Cucurbitacea, Ecballium elaterium , and separated from one another by affinity molecular sieve chromatography. Three main trypsin iso‐inhibitors purified ion‐exchange chromatography sequence major one, EETI II, was elucidated compared with other squash family. It is peptide M.W. 3020 strong inhibitory activity (Ka = 8 × 10 11 M ‐1 ) against trypsin, showing high Gly content, six half‐cystine residues, but devoid histidine, threonine,...

Antibodies were raised against a synthetic tetradecapeptide which is component of the non-renin portion (prosegraent) human renin precursor. Inactive from kidney and plasma strongly adsorbed to gel coupled iramunoglobulins purified such an antiserum. These results suggest that renal circulating inactive renins contain in their structure prosegment prorenin.

The primary structure of human preprorenin has recently been determined from its cDNA sequence. It includes a 46-amino acid NH2-terminal prosegment. Six peptides corresponding to the entire prosegment (9-40), except for (1-8) and COOH-terminal (41-46) ends have synthesized. These were tested their inhibitory effect on plasma renin activity. Boc-Tyr-Thr-Thr-Phe-Lys-Arg-Ile-Phe-Leu-Lys-Arg-Met-Pro-OMe (where Boc represents t-butoxycarbonyl OMe methoxy) (h Y(9-20) fragment...

Abstract The three disulfide Ecballium elaterium trypsin inhibitor II (EETI II) reduction with dithiothreitol (DTT) and re‐oxidation of the fully reduced derivative have been examined. A common stable intermediate has observed for both processes. Isolation sequencing carboxymethylated material showed that lacks [2–19] bridge. NMR study a very strong structural conservation as compared to native EETI II, suggesting bridges are [9–21] [15–27] ones. differences occurred in sections 2–7...

The complete sequence of the structural gene coding for mouse submaxillary gland renin was recently reported and amino acid preprorenin deduced. This includes a 45-amino peptide that corresponds to prosegment precursor. To investigate whether peptides related are able inhibit activity, we have synthesized four having following structures: Arg-Ile-Pro-OMe, butyloxycarbonyl(Boc)-Leu-Lys-Lys-Met-Pro-OMe, Boc-Arg-Ile-Pro-Leu-Lys-Lys-Met-Pro-OMe, Boc-Glu-Arg-Ile-Pro-Leu-Lys-Lys-Met-Pro-OMe...

Four homologues of pepstatin, the potent but poorly soluble inhibitor aspartic proteinases, were synthesized by coupling to C-terminus natural pentapeptide following amino acid residues: L-arginine methyl ester, L-aspartic acid, L-glutamic and dipeptide L-aspartyl-L-arginine. The peptide-coupling reagent we used, benzotriazolyloxytris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate, allowed us obtain readily pure pepstatin with high yields (60-83%). Pepstatylarginine ester pepstatylglutamic...

Oxyntomodulin is a peptide isolated from porcine intestine which consists of the whole glucagon sequence extended at its C-terminal part by basic octapeptide. The analogue (Nle-27)-oxyntomodulin human has been synthesized solid-phase synthesis, purified HPLC and identified. Its biological activities are same as those natural hormone.
