Dipeptidyl peptidase III and alanyl aminopeptidase in the human seminal plasma: origin and biochemical properties
Abstract
Human seminal plasma contained two distinct enzyme activities hydrolysing ArgArgNA. The enzymes were separated by anion exchange chromatography and further purified by gel filtration and/or hydrophobic interaction chromatography. The enzyme eluting at the lower NaCl concentration (0.26 mol/l) displayed an optimum at pH 5.7-6.0 (enzyme A), while the other enzyme eluted at 0.32 mol/l NaCl and showed an optimum at pH 8.5-9.0 (enzyme B). Enzyme A was found to coelute with an aminopeptidase which hydrolysed various amino acid derivatives as well as dipeptide naphthylamides sequentially. Both enzymes were sensitive to heavy metal ions (Cd, Cu, Hg, Pb) and chelating agents (EDTA, o-phenanthroline) and moderately sensitive to di-isopropylfluorophosphonate (DFP) or phenylmethylsulfonylfluoride (PMSF). After EDTA suppression both activities were partially reactivated by divalent metal ions, particularly by Co2+. Enzyme A was highly sensitive to amastatin, bestatin and puromycin, while enzyme B was not markedly influenced. With different substrates the modifier characteristics of enzyme A were equal. High concentrations of some substrates suppressed the hydrolysis rates of both enzymes. Enzyme B was much more sensitive to the thermal treatment than enzyme A. Tentative molecular masses of 110 kD and 80 kD were obtained for enzymes A and B, respectively. Enzyme B was found in all male reproductive tissues (testis, epididymis, vas deferens, ampulla, seminal vesicles, prostate), while enzyme A was only detected in the prostatic homogenate. Thus, ArgArgNA in the human seminal plasma is hydrolysed by dipeptidyl peptidase III, which may originate from different reproductive organs, while the prostate is responsible for the secretion of an aminopeptidase with a wide substrate spectrum including dipeptidyl derivatives.
