    A new hydrolase for conjugated bile acids, tentatively named chenodeoxycholyltaurine hydrolase, was purified to homogeneity from Bacteroides vulgatus. This enzyme hydrolyzed taurine-conjugated bile acids but showed no activity toward glycine conjugates. Among the taurine conjugates, taurochenodeoxycholic acid was most effectively hydrolyzed, tauro-beta-muricholic and ursodeoxycholic acids were moderately well hydrolyzed, and cholic and 7 beta-cholic acids were hardly hydrolyzed, suggesting that this enzyme has a specificity for not only the amino acid moiety but also the steroidal moiety. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be approximately 140,000 by Sephacryl S-300 gel filtration and the subunit molecular weight of the enzyme was 36,000 by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The optimum pH was in the range of 5.6 to 6.4. The NH2-terminal amino acid sequence of the enzyme was Met-Glu-Arg-Thr-Ile-Thr-Ile-Gln-Gln-Ile-Lys-Asp-Ala-Ala-Gln. The enzyme was activated by dithiothreitol, but inhibited by sulfhydryl inhibitors, p-hydroxymercuribenzoate, N-ethylmaleimide, and dithiodipyridine.
