Immunological studies on the carboxypeptidase Y mutant prcl-l of Saccharomyces cerevisiae revealed the origin of mutation in the structural gene of carboxypeptidase Y. The absence of carboxypeptidase Y has no effect on growth, even after drastic changes of growth conditions. A double mutant (prc 1- leu2-) lacking carboxypeptidase Y and auxotrophic for leucine is able to grow on the peptide benzyloxycarbonylglycylleucine (Cbz-Gly-Leu) as sole nitrogen source, indicating the existence of a second carboxypeptidase. Using a new peptidase test, the existence of this second enzyme, called carboxypeptidase S, was confirmed biochemically.
对酿酒酵母羧肽酶Y突变体prc1-1的免疫学研究揭示了羧肽酶Y结构基因中的突变起源。即使在生长条件发生剧烈变化后,羧肽酶Y的缺失对生长也没有影响。缺乏羧肽酶Y且对亮氨酸营养缺陷的双突变体(prc1-leu2-)能够以肽苄氧羰基甘氨酰亮氨酸(Cbz-Gly-Leu)作为唯一氮源生长,这表明存在第二种羧肽酶。通过一种新的肽酶测试,从生化角度证实了这种名为羧肽酶S的第二种酶的存在。
