Abstract

Carboxypeptidase E (CPE) is involved in the biosynthesis of many peptide hormones and neurotransmitters. Mice with the fat mutation have previously been found to have a point mutation in the cpe gene, and to have greatly reduced levels of CPE-like enzyme activity in the pituitary and pancreatic islets (Naggert, J. K., Fricker, L. D., Varlamov, O., Nishina, P. M., Rouille, Y., Steiner, D. F., Carroll, R. J., Paigen, B. J., and Leiter, E. H. (1995) Nat. Genet. 10, 135-142). In the present report, we examined CPE-like activity and peptide processing in several tissues of C57BLKS/LtJ-Cpefat/Cpefat mutant (Cpefat/Cpefat) mice. Whereas CPE-like activity is detected in homogenates of Cpefat/Cpefat mouse tissues, the majority of this activity is not due to CPE based on the sensitivity to p-chloromercuriphenyl sulfonate. In addition, the Cpefat/Cpefat activity does not bind to a substrate affinity column under conditions that bind CPE. Furthermore, the enzyme activity and immunoreactive properties of the activity purified from Cpefat/Cpefat brain are distinct from those of CPE. Taken together, these data suggest that CPE is completely inactive in the Cpefat/Cpefat mice, and that all of the CPE-like activity is due to other carboxypeptid...Continue Reading
