title: [Proteinases of small intestine enterocytes of swine. Purification and properties of aspartyl proteinase similar to cathepsin D].
abstract: A new aspartic proteinase was isolated from porcine intestine mucosa by affinity chromatography on pepstatin-Sepharose 4B and gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. The enzyme was purified 1600-fold and appeared homogeneous upon polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The proteinase has a Mr 60 000 +/- 4000 Da. During sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis the enzyme produced a single protein band (Mr 30 000 +/- 3000 Da). Isoelectric focusing revealed that the enzyme has several multiple forms (pI 6.9, 7.5, 8,0). The enzyme is a glycoprotein containing 5.9% of carbohydrates; the mannose to galactose ratio is 1:3. The amino acid composition of the enzyme was studied. The proteinase splits an oxidized insulin B-chain and synthetic substrates. The pH optimum is 3.2. The enzyme is immunologically identical to porcine spleen cathepsin D.
