Abstract
1.
(1) A trypsinogen-activating proteolytic enzyme (peptidase A) has been isolated from the growth medium of Penicillium janthinellum and purified about 60-fold; it is homogeneous in the ultra-centrifuge and on electrophoresis. Its molecular weight is 32 000.
2.
(2) The enzyme has the following amino acid composition: Lys5, His3, Asp36, Thr28, Ser42, Glu28, Pro12, Gly39, Ala23, Val22, Ileu12.5, Leu20, Tyr14, Phe19, Try4–5. It does not contain arginine, methione and half-crystine.
3.
(3) The system peptidase A-trypsinogen follows Michealis-Menten kinetics, giving Km = (7.6±2) · 10−6 M (at 0°, pH 3.4).
4.
(4) Peptidase A apparently does not act on small peptides, but readily degrades apoferritin and bovine serum albumin. About 15% of the peptide bonds in bovine serum albumin are hydrolysed.
