title: [Detection and purification of a liver microsomal enzyme inducing the release of a glycopeptide inhibitor of hepatocyte proliferation from human alpha 2 macroglobulin].
abstract: The interaction rat liver microsomes/human alpha 2 macroglobulin releases in vivo an inhibitory peptide of the hepatocyte proliferation. Treatment of Triton X 100 on adult rat liver microsomes enables the solubilisation of a proteolytic enzyme. Its partial purification was obtained by Ultrogel AcA 44 filtration followed by a DEAE Sephacel chromatography. This enzyme shows a proteolytic activity in presence of calcium on synthetic substrates including Phe, Tyr and Trp. A whole enzyme inhibition is got after treatment by DFP or benzamidine. In presence of highly purified human alpha 2 macroglobulin this enzyme releases a glycopeptide of low molecular weight, which inhibits the hepatocyte proliferation during the G1-S transition in baby rat.
