Abstract
Membrane dipeptidase (EC 3.4.13.19) enzyme activity that is inhibited by cilastatin has been detected in pancreatic zymogen granule membranes of human, porcine and rat origin. Immunoelectrophoretic blot analysis of human and porcine pancreatic zymogen granule membranes with polyclonal antisera raised against the corresponding kidney membrane dipeptidase revealed that the enzyme is a disulphide-linked homodimer of subunit mass 61 kDa in the human and 45 kDa in the pig. Although membrane dipeptidase was, along with glycoprotein-2, one of the only two major components of carbonate high pH-washed membranes, no enzyme activity or immunoreactivity was detected in the zymogen granule contents. Digestion with bacterial phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC), and subsequent recognition by antibodies specific for the cross-reacting determinant, revealed that membrane dipeptidase in human and porcine pancreatic zymogen granule membranes is glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol-anchored. Membrane dipeptidase was released from the pancreatic zymogen granule membranes by an endogenous hydrolase, and the released form migrated as a disulphide-linked dimer on SDS/PAGE under non-reducing conditions. Under reducing conditions it migrated...Continue Reading
