A cysteine endopeptidase (EC 3.4.22.-) present in cotyledons of mung bean (Vigna radiata) seedlings was purified to homogeneity, as judged by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). This proteinase has an apparent molecular mass of 33 kilodaltons as estimated by SDS-PAGE and belongs to the class of cysteine proteinases as judged by the effects of various proteinase inhibitors on the activity of the enzyme. When proangiotensin is used as a substrate, the enzyme preferentially hydrolyzes the peptide bonds formed by the amino group of Leu or lle in this oligopeptide chain; for the enzyme to cleave those bonds, peptide sequences consisting of at least three amino acid residues on the amino side of Leu or lle must be present. The proteinase readily digests globulin present in mung bean cotyledons to smaller polypeptides.
