SummaryPapain treatment of human urinary trypsin inhibitor (UTI67; mol. wt. 43,000 by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, specific activity 1,897 U/mg protein) produced four new protease inhibitors, which were highly purified by gel chromatography on Sephadex G-100 and isoelectric focusing. The purified inhibitors (UTI26, UTI9-I, UTI9-II, and UTI9-III) were shown to be homogeneous by polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis, and had apparent molecular weights of 26,000, 9,000, 9,000, and 9,800, respectively, by sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis. During enzymatic degradation of UTI67, the amino acid compositions changed to more basic, and the isoelectric point increased from pH 2.0 (UTI67) to pHs 4.4, 5.2, 6.6, and 8.3 (UTI26, UTI9-I, UTI9-II, and UTI9-III), respectively. Both the parent and degraded inhibitors had anti-plasmin activity as well as antitrypsin and anti-chymotrypsin activities. Much higher anti-plasmin/anti-trypsin and anti-plasmin/anti-chymotrypsin activities were observed in the degraded inhibitors than in the parent UTI67. They competitively inhibited human plasmin with Ki values of 1.13 X 10-7 - 2.12 X 10-6 M (H-D-Val-Leu-Lys-pNA substrate). The reactions were very fast and the active site of the inhibitors to plasmin was thought to be different from that to trypsin or chymotrypsin.

Abstract. GH values were determined by a highly sensitive sandwich enzyme immunoassay in the 1st morning and/or 24-h accumulated urine samples in 94 children (short stature 70, including 14 with complete GH deficiency, 9 with partial GH deficiency, and 47 with GH-normal short stature; Turner's syndrome, 10, and simple obesity, 14). GH values were also determined in the 2nd to 4th urine samples taken on the same day together with the 1st morning urine in 5 of them. GH values in the 1st morning urine correlated significantly with those of the 24-h urine and with serum peak and mean GH values during nocturnal sleep as a physiological GH secretion test. The 2nd to 4th urines had lower GH concentrations than the 1st morning urine. The GH value of the 1st morning urine in complete GH deficiency was significantly lower than those in GH-normal short stature, partial GH deficiency and Turner's syndrome. However, no significant difference was detected in urinary GH values between complete GH deficiency and simple obesity. We conclude that 1st morning urinary GH estimation may be useful for differentiation of complete GH deficiency from other causes of short stature, but may be difficult for the distinction between complete GH deficiency and obesity with normal GH secretory ability.

Methods have been developed to control the content of non-meat components (connective tissue of animals, eggs, soy) in processed meat products, based on enzyme immunoassay of biomarker proteins – collagen, ovalbumin, soybean trypsin inhibitor.
