New substrates for the radioassay of angiotensin converting enzyme of endothelial cells in culture.

Abstract:

:To develop means of measuring angiotensin converting enzyme of endothelial cells in culture, we have synthesized benzoyl-Phe-Ala-Pro-OH (I), benzoyl-Pro-Phe-Arg-OH (II) and benzoyl-Gly-His-Leu-OH (III), each bearing a 3H-atom on the para-position of its benzoyl moiety. All three of the acylated tripeptides are substrates for the enzyme. Substrate I exhibits the lowest Km (12.5 micrometer) and yields the most sensitive assay: the enzyme of 10(6) cells can be measured in a 30 min incubation at 37 degrees C. Radiolabelled reaction product is separated from substrate by extraction of acidified reaction mixture with an organic solvent, and the rate of formation of product can be quantified by liquid scintillation counting of the organic phase. Substrate III can also be used to measure angiotensin converting enzyme of cells but requires longer incubations (180--240 min) and high salt concentrations (0.75 M Na2SO4). Substrate II is not specific: it is hydrolyzed by more than one enzyme of endothelial cells.
