Abstract
Recombinant human prorenin was activated by incubation with anti-prorenin prosegment (L1PPTDTTTFKRIFLKR15P) antiserum at 4 degrees C. This activation was dependent on the concentration of the antiserum and incubation time. After the activation no molecular weight alteration of prorenin was observed by immunoblotting analysis. A peptide of L1PPTDTTTF8P as well as L1PPTDTTTFKRIFLKR15P potently interfered with the activation. Most of the activated prorenin bound to Protein A Sepharose CL 4B. The Km and Vmax values of the activated prorenin were 0.2 microM and 23.7 micrograms Ang I/ml/h, respectively, which were similar in level to those of mature renin obtained by trypsinization.Entities:
