Abstract: Recent studies from this laboratory have suggested a similarity, if not identity, of thyrotropin releasing factor (TRF) deamidase and post-proline cleaving enzyme. Bovine brain TRF deamidase was purified to homogeneity and used to elicit antibodies to the enzyme. These antibodies were used to demonstrate identical immunological reactivity between rat brain TRF deamidase and rat kidney post-proline cleaving enzyme. In addition, both proteins exhibit a molecular weight of 75,000, and have identical Km values for the synthetic substrate pGlu-( N -benzyl- l -His)-Pro-β-naphthylamide and identical K 1 values for TRF and luteinizing hormone releasing factor as inhibitors. Finally, the enzymes exhibit the same sensitivities to inhibition by mercury, iodoacetamide, N -ethylmaleimide, and 5, 5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid). These results strongly suggest that brain TRF deamidase and kidney postproline cleaving enzyme are identical. 相似文献

One of the primary inactivating cleavages of neurotensin (NT) by rat brain synaptic membranes occurs at the Arg8-Arg9 peptide bond, leading to the formation of NT1-8 and NT9-13. The involvement at this site of a recently purified metalloendopeptidase was demonstrated by the use of its specific inhibitor, N-[1(R,S)-carboxy-2-phenylethyl]-alanylalanylphenylalanine-p-amino -benzoate, which exerts an inhibition on NT1-8 formation with an IC50 (0.6 microM) close to its Ki for the purified metalloendopeptidase (1.94 microM). Furthermore, we established the role of a postproline dipeptidyl-aminopeptidase in the secondary processing of NT9-13 formation. 相似文献

Extracts prepared from culminating cells of Dictyostelium discoideum have been found to contain dipeptidyl-aminopeptidases I (EC 3.4.14.1), II (EC 3.4.14.2), III (EC 3.4.14.4), arginine aminopeptidase (EC 3.4.11.6) and valine aminopeptidase. Dipeptidyl-aminopeptidase III was the most active of the dipeptidyl-aminopeptidases; its molecular weight was 158,000, with a pH optimum of 10.2 and gave a single peak of activity on gel-filtration or when fractionated by chromatofocusing. The specific activities of dipeptidyl-aminopeptidases I and III increased during development being highest during the culmination stage before decreasing during sorocarp formation; dipeptidyl-aminopeptidase II and arginine aminopeptidase decreased progressively throughout development. The presence of these dipeptidyl-aminopeptidases suggests the possibility that processing of peptides may be necessary during the development of Dictyostelium. 相似文献
