The proteolytic system of Penicillium roqueforti. V. -- Purification and properties of an alkaline aminopeptidase.

Abstract:

:An alkaline aminopeptidase was isolated from the culture medium of Penicillium roqueforti. The enzyme was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, filtration on Bio-Gel P-100, chromatography on D.E.A.E.-cellulose and hydroxylapatite, filtration on Bio-Gel P-150 and electrofusing. The purified preparation was homogeneous on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at pH 8.5. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be about 35,000 daltons. The isoelectric point is 4.5. The optimum pH for L-leucine-p-nitroanilide hydrolysis is 8.0. At 35 degrees C the enzyme is stable between pH 6.0 and 7.0. Ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid and a sulfhydryl reagent (p-hydroxymercuribenzoate) inhibit the activity, but the enzyme is insensitive to diisopropylfluorophosphate. Hydrolysis of synthetic peptides shows that the enzyme releases apolar amino acids. Dipeptides are poorly hydrolyzed and Gly in penultimate or N-terminal position causes poor activity. The enzyme is able to cleave the N-terminal Arg-Pro bond of bradykinin.
