title: Characterization of a carboxypeptidase from the yeast Rhodotorula glutinis.
abstract: A carboxypeptidase has been identified in Rhodotorula glutinis and partially purified. The enzyme is active on N-substituted dipeptides and tripeptides and also exhibits an esterolytic activity. Both activities are inhibited by (N-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-phenylalanyl)chloromethane and by a thermostable fraction present in extracts. The enzyme shows a pH optimum in the range 7.5 to 8.0 and has a molecular weight of 80000, determined by gel filtration.
