RESUMO
Aminopeptidase II, one of the two major aminopeptidases in the giant alga Chara australis, was partially purified. Its molecular weight was estimated to be about 80,000 by gel permeation chromatography. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis showed that it is composed of a single polypeptide with a molecular weight of about 85,000. Aminopeptidase II hydrolyzed alanine-2-naphthylamide more efficiently than the naphthylamides of lysine and proline, and only weakly hydrolyzed the naphthylamides of arginine, phenylalanine, valine, and leucine. The optimal pH for the hydrolysis of alanine-2-naphthylamide was near 7.0. The activity of aminopeptidase II was inhibited by the SH-reagents p-chloromercuribenzoic acid and N-ethylmaleimide and by the metal chelator 1,10-phenanthroline.
