Abstract Peptidyl dipeptidase activity distinct from the angiotensin converting enzyme (EC 3.4.15.1) was isolated from membrane fractions of rabbit kidney and lung. The enzyme cleaved Leu-enkephalin at the Gly-Phe bond, releasing Tyr-Gly-Gly and Phe-Leu, and also acted on bradykinin releasing the terminal dipeptide Phe-Arg.

Purified rat brain cathepsin B (EC 3.4.22.1) converted prodynorphins or proenkephalins to shorter active forms by the preferential removal of C-terminal dipeptides. The substrate affinities for Met-enkephalin-Arg-Phe or -Arg-Gly-Leu were Km 46 and 117 microM, and kcat/Km ratios were 67 and 115 microM-1, min-1, respectively.

Abstract: The electric organ of Torpedo marmorata contains a membrane‐bound, captopril‐sensitive metallopepti‐dase that resembles mammalian angiotensin converting enzyme (peptidyl dipeptidase A; EC 3.4.15.1). The Torpedo enzyme has now been purified to apparent homogeneity from electric organ by a procedure involving affinity chro‐matography using the

An enzyme present in mouse brain cytosol cleaves C-terminal dipeptides from substrates including ACTH-(7-10) (Phe-Arg-Trp-Gly), and des-Tyr-[Met]- and des-Tyr-[Leu]enkephalin. By means of ion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration, the peptidase was purified to a specific activity of 1570 times that of brain homogenate.

Cultured bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells contain a second peptidyl dipeptidase, distinct from angiotensin-converting enzyme, present in an inactive form associated with a non-dialyzable inhibitor. Partial purification by glycine affinity chromatography separates enzyme from inhibitor to yield a preparation which hydrolyzes angiotensin-1 ...

Abstract: Brains from piglets were dissected and a block of tissue including the substantia nigra, globus pallidus, and entopeduncular nucleus was homogenized and then fractionated on discontinuous Percoll gradients. Ligand‐binding assays using (–)‐[3H]nicotine and [3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate served to delineate fractions containing nicotinic and ...

Previous studies have shown that the metabolism of delta sleep-inducing peptide (DSIP) in the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is catalyzed by amino-peptidases. In this study, we have shown that peptidyl dipeptidase A in cultured bovine brain microvessel endothelial cells (BBMEC), a model of the BBB, and a purified form of this enzyme can also metabolize DSIP

Abstract: Incubation of various authentic peptides with rat CSF in vitro and analysis of their products by HPLC demonstrated the presence in CSF of a peptidyl dipeptidase [peptidyl dipeptide hydrolase; angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE); kininase II; EC 3.4.15.1] which sequentially degraded bradykinin (BK) by liberating the carboxy‐terminal ...
