Molecular dissection of effector cell protease receptor-1 recognition of factor Xa. Assignment of critical residues involved in antibody reactivity and ligand binding

Receptor-mediated assembly of blood proteases on vascular cells maintains the hemostatic balance and initiates intracellular signal transduction. Effector cell protease receptor-1 (EPR-1) is an approximately 62-kDa vascular cell membrane receptor for the clotting protease factor Xa, participating in thrombin formation and lymphocyte activation. Here, recombinant EPR-1 fragments were engineered in the frame of intercellular adhesion molecule-1, transfected in mammalian cells, and analyzed for antibody recognition and ligand binding. Chimeric transfectants containing the EPR-1 sequence Met1-Arg60 bound the immunosuppressive anti-EPR-1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) 2E1. In contrast, transfected cells expressing the EPR-1 sequence Pro120-Ala154 were recognized by the functionally inhibitory anti-EPR-1 mAbs 9D4 and B6, bound 125I-factor Xa in a reaction quantitatively indistinguishable from that of wild-type EPR-1 transfectants, and promoted factor Xa concentration-dependent prothrombin activation in the absence of exogenous factor V/Va. Chimeric transfectants expressing the COOH terminus end of the EPR-1 extracellular domain (Ala157-Glu221) did not bind anti-EPR-1 mAbs and did not associate with factor Xa. Mutagenesis of Asn131 or Lys133 in the EPR-1 ligand recognition domain abolished factor Xa binding by 80 +/- 5.5 and 96 +/- 4%, respectively, while mutation of Lys126, Gly128, Asn129, and Asn134 was without effect. A synthetic peptide duplicating the EPR-1 sequence S123PGKPGNQNSKNEPP137 dose dependently inhibited factor V/Va-independent thrombin generation of resting endothelium (IC50 approximately 1 microM), while the adjacent EPR-1 sequence P136PKK-RERERSSHCYP150 was ineffective. These findings demonstrate that EPR-1 contains two spatially distinct functional domains implicated in lymphocyte activation (Met1-Arg60) or factor Xa binding and prothrombin activation (Pro120-Ala154). These interacting sequences may provide a novel potential target for inhibition of factor Xa-dependent vascular cell responses.

Effects of fatty acid oxidation on glucose utilization by isolated hepatocytes

We have studied the inhibitory action of long- and short-chain fatty acids on hepatic glucose utilization in hepatocytes isolated from fasted rats. The rates of hepatic glucose phosphorylation and glycolysis were determined from the tritiated products of [2-3H] and [6-3H]glucose metabolism, respectively. The difference between these was taken as an estimate of the 'cycling' between glucose and glucose-6-phosphate. In the presence of 40 mM glucose this cycling was estimated at 0.68 mumol/min/g wet wt. Glucose phosphorylation was unaffected during palmitate and hexanoate oxidation to ketone bodies but glycolysis was inhibited. The rate of glucose cycling was increased during this phase to 1.25 mumol/min/g. Following the complete metabolism of the fatty acids, glycolysis was reinstated and cycling rates returned to control levels. Hepatic glucose cycling appears to be an important component of the glucose/fatty acid cycle.

热流法计算高温炉内辐射传热

高温炉内的辐射传热是工业生产中常遇到的问题。过去，人们在应用热流法计算辐射传热时遇到了一定的困难，使计算结果与实际有一定的偏差。本文运用文献［１］中给出的新热流数学模型，开发出由新热流方程与能量方程相耦合的计算机程序，其中的比热流参数由线加热热源情况下计算得到。用该程序计算了实验室用马弗炉内的温度场，并且用热电偶实测了炉内的一些温度值，理论计算与实测值符合很好。
