Research Abstract

1. Characterization of glycyrrhizin (GL)-binding proteins in vitro:
The inhibitory effects of GL and choresterol 3'-sulfate (CH-3S) on the physiological activity of C3a (anaphylatoxin) generated from complement C3 were determined in vitro. It was found that (i) C3a is a GL-and CH-3S-binding protein ; and (ii) three compounds (GL, GA and CH-3S) inhibited the C3a-induced vascular permeability in a dose dependent manner.
2. Characerrization of the CK1-mediated phosphorylation of CH-3S-binding basic proteins in vitro:
The physiological interaction between CH-3S and Ca3 was examined in vitro. It was found that (i) C3a was phosphorylated by CK1 in the presence of CH-3S ; and (ii) this phosphorylation was reproduced by sulfatide instead of CH-3S ; and (iii) similar phosphorylation was observed with other basic proteins, such as HMG1, FGF-BP and myelin basic protein, in vitro.
3. Characterization of the CK2-mediated A-kinase (PKA) in vitro:
The physiological significance of the CK2-mediated phosphorylation of PKA on its activity was investigated in vitro. It was found that (i) phosphorylation of the R-subunit of PKA holoenzyme (C_2R_2) by CK2 resulted in the reduction of PKA activity ; and (ii) the CK2-mediated activation of PKA was selectively inhibited by quercetin (a CK2 inhibitor) in vitro.
4. Identification of lactoferrin (LF)-binding proteins:
At least four LF-binding proteins were isolated and purified from the LF fraction of bovine milk. Both p37 and p35 were identified as FGF-binding proteins. p17 and p15 was identified as lactogenin and angiogenin 1, respectively. These results suggest that LF may function as a carrier of these LF-binding functional proteins in vivo.
