ETA Amu inhibits cleavage of Dsg1 by ETA. Anti–E-tag immunoblot of hDsg1E (open arrowhead) and its carboxy-terminal cleavage product (filled arrowhead). ETA Amu at a concentration of 13 μM incubated with hDsg1E inhibits cleavage by subsequent addition of wild-type ETA, but at 4 μM does not. At 8 μM, about half of the Dsg1 is free to be cleaved. Kd can then be roughly estimated to be 8 μM. ETA Amu in the concentrations shown (all in large excess of that of hDsg1E) was incubated with hDsg1 at 25°C for 60 minutes, then wild-type ETA was added for a 20-minute incubation before SDS-PAGE.
