Biochem/physiol Actions

L-Leucine chloromethyl ketone (Leu-CMK) is used as a lysosomal cysteine protease inhibitor and as an insulin-like stimulator of lipid synthesis. L-Leucine chloromethyl ketone (Leu-CMK) may be acetylated to generate acetylleucine chloromethyl ketone, an inhibitor of acylpeptide hydrolase.

Alanine chloromethylketone and leucine chloromethylketone were synthesized and their effects on amino acid transport in sarcoma 37 mirone ascites tumor (S37) cells were studied. Alanine chloromethylketone preincubation weakly inhibited system A. Leucine chloromethylketone preincubation strongly inhibited both amino acid transport

N alpha-tosyl-L-lysine chloromethyl ketone (TLCK) stimulates lipid synthesis in locust fat body in vitro, and is able to reverse the inhibitory effects of AKH-I on lipid synthesis. Effective stimulatory concentrations of TLCK were in the range of 0.2-1.0 mM. Similar

1. The degradation of recombinant human insulin-like growth factor-I (rhIGF-I) by purified lysosomes of rat kidney was examined in vitro. The peptide structures of the 13 degradation products were deduced from the sequence analysis and the molecular mass. Rat kidney

Acetylleucine chloromethyl ketone (ALCK), an inhibitor of acylpeptide hydrolase (ACPH), inhibited the growth of human monoblastic U937 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Morphology of the ALCK-exposed cells showed typical apoptosis, judging from the nuclear condensation and segmentation. Chromosomal

Leucine chloromethylketone labeling of viable S37 cells was preferential for the plasma membrane fraction. The pattern of radiolabeling of the plasma membrane proteins was time dependent. After 5 min the radiolabel was localized with glutamyl transpeptidase, and subsequently with other
