A dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP) from goat brain has been purified. The purified enzyme showed a single band on sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). It is a monomer with molecular weight of 69kDa with a pI of 4.5. The K(m) was estimated to be 39microM for Arg-Arg-4-methoxy-beta-naphthylamide (Arg-Arg-4mbetaNA). This enzyme is strongly inhibited by commonly used metallochelators and sulfhydryl reagents. Among various beta-naphthylamides examined, Arg-Arg-4mbetaNA was the most rapidly hydrolyzed substrate. Although, initially it was thought to be the DPP-III but on the basis of its molecular weight and inhibition studies, it was concluded that this enzyme is a functional homologue of DPP-III.
从山羊脑中纯化出一种二肽基肽酶(DPP)。纯化后的酶在十二烷基硫酸钠聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳(SDS-PAGE)上呈现出一条带。它是一种单体,分子量为69kDa,等电点为4.5。对于精氨酸-精氨酸-4-甲氧基-β-萘酰胺(Arg-Arg-4mbetaNA),其米氏常数(K(m))估计为39μM。这种酶受到常用金属螯合剂和巯基试剂的强烈抑制。在所检测的各种β-萘酰胺中,Arg-Arg-4mbetaNA是水解最快的底物。尽管最初认为它是DPP-III,但基于其分子量和抑制研究,得出结论:这种酶是DPP-III的功能同源物。
