Abstract
We have recently reported the use of the highly selective and reversible binding of the potent bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI) to target Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli) for its isolation from crude extracts of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN). We now report the use of the same procedure for the purification from rabbit PMN of BPI and also of a novel 15-kDa species that consists of two nearly identical isoforms. These 15-kDa proteins have no demonstrable antibacterial activities by themselves. However, one isoform (p15A) potentiates strongly and the other (p15B) weakly the early antibacterial effects of both rabbit and human BPI. Both isoforms inhibit the late lethal action of BPI. Whereas the potentiating effect is specific for BPI the inhibitory effect is seen also with another antibacterial protein of PMN granules, azurocidin. Thus, we have identified in rabbit PMN a previously unrecognized 15-kDa protein species that may modulate during phagocytosis the antimicrobial effects of BPI (and other granule proteins).
