Identification of substance P precursor forms in human brain tissue.

Abstract:

:Substance P prohormones were identified in the caudate nucleus, hypothalamus, and substantia nigra of human brain. A polypeptide fraction of acidic brain extracts was fractionated on Sephadex G-50. The lyophilized fractions were sequentially treated with trypsin and a substance P-degrading enzyme with strong preference toward the Phe7-Phe8 and Phe8-Gly9 bonds. The released substance P(1-7) fragment was isolated by ion-exchange chromatography and quantitated by a specific radioimmunoassay. Confirmation of the structure of the isolated radioimmunoassay-active fragment was achieved by electrophoresis and HPLC. By using this enzymatic/radioimmunoassay procedure, two polypeptide fractions of apparent Mr 5000 and 15,000, respectively, were identified. The latter component was the major one of the two but was estimated to account for only about 5% of total substance P radioimmunoassay activity. Because it is of the size predicted from the nucleotide sequences of cDNA for substance P prohormones in bovine brain, the Mr 15,000 component may represent the full-length prohormone.
