Immunochemical characterization of carboxypeptidase B-like peptide-hormone-processing enzyme.
Specific rabbit antisera against purified bovine pituitary carboxypeptidase processing enzyme (which has also been referred to as "enkephalin convertase") have been prepared and characterized. The antisera recognized both the purified soluble and the membrane-bound forms of the enzyme with equal affinity, suggesting that these two forms of the enzyme may possess many regions of structural homol...
متن کاملDoes the kallikrein-like enzyme gene family code for a group of peptide hormone-processing enzymes?
Does the kallikrein-like enzyme gene family code for a group of peptide hormone-processing enzymes? characteristic of particular interest is the pH at which these different enzymes work most effectively. This pH is usually indicative of the pH at which they work intracellularly and thus an indication of where they may be active intracellularly. The cloning of genes which code for a family of ka...
متن کاملCarboxypeptidase H. A regulatory peptide-processing enzyme produced by human hepatoma Hep G2 cells.
Human hepatoma (Hep G2) cells have been shown to secrete nanogram quantities of carboxypeptidase N (Grimwood, B. G., Plummer, T. H., Jr., and Tarentino, A. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 14397-14401). A second carboxypeptidase with an acidic pH optimum (pH 5.5) is also secreted at levels 2-3-fold greater than carboxypeptidase N. This enzyme was partially purified from the conditioned medium and com...
متن کاملCarboxypeptidase B-like converting enzyme activity in secretory granules of rat pituitary.
Recent amino acid sequence data suggest that trypsin-like and carboxypeptidase B-like activities are required for the processing of pituitary prohormones--e.g., pro-opiocortin (pro-adrenocorticotropin/lipotropin) and provasopressin in secretory granules. In this study the existence of a carboxypeptidase B activity in purified secretory granules from anterior, intermediate, and neural lobes of r...
متن کاملHuman carboxypeptidase M. Purification and characterization of a membrane-bound carboxypeptidase that cleaves peptide hormones.
A membrane-bound neutral carboxypeptidase B-like enzyme was solubilized from human placental microvilli with 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)-dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS) and purified to homogeneity by ion-exchange chromatography and affinity chromatography on arginine-Sepharose. It gave a single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with an apparent Mr of 62,00...
