Stimulation Of

Two main arylamidase activities were separated from a particle-free supernatant of rat heart by chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex. Although both enzymes hydrolysed L-leucine 4-nitroanilide, only peak-II enzyme hydrolysed L-lysine 4-nitroanilide. A third minor peak (Ia) contained an enzyme that was active mainly on the L-lysine 4-nitroanilide. The mol.wts. of the enzymes in peaks I and II were approx. 257000 and 105000 respectively. The pH optimum was approx. pH7.0 for peak-I enzyme and 7.0-8.0 for peak-II enzyme. Both enzymes were inhibited by addition of puromycin, p-hydroxymercuribenzoate, o-phenanthroline and bivalent metal ions. Addition of dithiothreitol resulted in stimulation of both activities. Dialysis against o-phenanthroline resulted in inhibition of peak-I and -II enzymes, but after dialysis against EDTA only peak-II enzyme was inhibited.
