Acid carboxypeptidase (EC 3.4.12.-) crystallized from culture filtrate of Penicillium janthinellum has been investigated for its use in carboxy-terminal sequence determination of Z-Gly-Pro-Leu-Gly, Z-Gly-Pro-Leu-Gly-Pro, angiotensin I, native lysozyme, native ribonuclease T1, and reduced S-carboxy-methyl-lysozyme. The examination indicated that proline and glycine were liberated from Z-Gly-Pro-Leu-Gly-Pro. At high enzyme concentration, the enzyme catalyzed complete sequential release of amino acids from the carboxy-terminal leucine to the amino-terminal aspartic acid of angiotensin I. The enzyme released the carboxy-terminal leucine from native lysozyme, however, no release of the threonine from native ribonuclease T1 was observed after a prolonged period of incubation with the enzyme. The sequence of the first nine carboxy-terminal residues of denatured lysozyme, leucine, arginine, S-carboxymethyl-cysteine, glycine, arginine, isoleucine, tryptophane, alanine, and glutamine, could be deduced unequivocally from a time release plot of an incubation mixture with the enzyme.
