Post-proline cleaving enzyme (prolyl endopeptidase) from bovine brain. Abstract Text:

T Yoshimoto,T Nishimura,T Kita,D Tsuru,

A post-proline cleaving enzyme [prolyl endopeptidase, EC 3.4.21.26] was purified about 3,700-fold from an extract of bovine brain by a series of column chromatographies on DEAE-Sephadex, hydroxyapatite and PCMB-T-Sepharose, and gel filtration on Sephadex G-200 using N-carbobenzoxy-Gly-Pro-beta-naphthylamide (Z-Gly-Pro-2-NNap), thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) and oxytocin as substrates. The purified enzyme appeared homogeneous as judged by disc gel and SDS gel electrophoreses. The enzyme was most active at pH 7.5 and 7.2 with Z-Gly-Pro-2-NNap and TRH, respectively, and hydrolyzed peptide bonds involving Pro-X (X=amino acid, peptide, ester and amide) bonds of synthetic substrates, oxytocin, vasopressin, neurotensin, substance P, tuftsin, bradykinin, and insulin B chain. However, the enzyme was inert toward collagen, gelatin, and casein. The enzyme was completely inactivated by diisopropylphosphorofluoridate (DFP), Z-Gly-Pro-chloromethyl ketone and p-chloromercuribenzoate (PCMB), while it was not inhibited by phenylmethane sulfonylfluoride (PMSF) or metal chelators. Determination of the amino acid composition revealed that the enzyme contained 25 half-cystines. Modification of three cysteine residues of the enzyme by PCMB led to complete inactivation. The isoelectric point of the enzyme was 4.8, and the molecular weight was estimated to be 76,000 by ultracentrifugal analysis and 75,000-74,000 by both gel filtration and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) gel electrophoresis, suggesting that the enzyme is present as a monomer. These results indicate that the post-proline cleaving enzyme from bovine brain is very similar to those previously purified from lamb brain and kidney in its enzymatic properties, substrate specificity and physicochemical properties, in sharp contrast with the results obtained by Tate, who reported that the bovine brain prolyl endopeptidase was inert toward oxytocin, vasopressin and bradykinin.
