RESUMO

The effect of various sulfur-containing amino acids on the activities of prolidase isoenzymes I and II isolated from erythrocytes of healthy individuals, and erythrocyte lysates from a patient with prolidase deficiency was investigated. The activity of prolidase I against glycylproline was strongly enhanced by D: -methionine. L: -Methionine and D: ,L: -methionine slightly enhanced the activity at low concentration, but N-acetyl-L: -methionine had no effect. D: -Ethionine, L: -ethionine, and D: ,L: -ethionine also enhanced the activity of prolidase I. D: ,L: -Homocysteine enhanced the activity at low concentration, but inhibited the activity at 50 mM: . The activity of prolidase II against methionylproline was enhanced by D: -methionine, D: ,L: -methionine, and L: -methionine, but N-acetyl-L: -methionine had no effect. D: -Ethionine and D: ,L: -ethionine strongly enhanced the activity of prolidase II compared with L: -ethionine; D: ,L: -homocysteine weakly enhanced the activity. D: ,L: -Homocysteine-thiolactone inhibited the activities of prolidase I and II in a concentration-dependent manner. The effect of various sulfur-containing amino acids on prolidase activity against methionylproline in erythrocyte lysates from a patient with prolidase deficiency was almost the same as that on prolidase II. The kinetics of the activities of prolidase I, II, and patient prolidase were also studied. Their K (m) values were changed by adding sulfur-containing amino acids, but V (max) values were unchanged.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Prolidase and prolinase activity is known to be enhanced significantly in some diseases. Recently, the effect of amino acids on prolidase and prolinase activity in normal and prolidase-deficient human erythrocytes was investigated. It was reported that both enzymes were enhanced by glycine and alanine in the presence of MnCl(2). METHODS: Erythrocytes were isolated from heparinized blood from normal human and a patient with prolidase deficiency. Effects of various sulfur amino acids on prolidase and prolinase activities against iminodipeptides in the presence of 1 or 0.1 mmol/l MnCl(2) were investigated. RESULTS: Prolinase activity against prolylglycine in normal and prolidase-deficient erythrocyte lysates was inhibited by L-methionine, NAc-L-methionine and D,L-methionine in a concentration-dependent manner, but D-methionine enhanced the activity in low concentrations (0-20 mmol/l). D,L-Homocysteine inhibited the activity more strongly than other sulfur amino acids tested in a concentration-dependent manner. On the other hand, prolidase activity against glycylproline was enhanced by L-methionine, D-methionine, D,L-methionine, D,L-homocysteine thiolactone and D,L-ethionine. The rates of enhancement by these sulfur amino acids were in the following order: D,L-ethionine>D,L-methionine, D-methionine, D,L-homocysteine thiolactone>L-methionine (10 mmol/l). CONCLUSION: The prolinase activity in normal and prolidase-deficient erythrocyte lysates was inhibited by L-methionine, D,L-ethionine and D,L-homocysteine. On the other hand, prolidase activity in their erythrocyte lysates was enhanced by D,L-ethionine, D-methionine and L-methionine. These results indicate the effects of these sulfur amino acids on prolidase and prolinase activities were different.
