Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DAP IV) was purified from Streptococcus salivarius HHT by anion-exchange chromatography, gel filtration and affinity chromatography after lysis of cell walls with N-acetylmuramidase. DAP IV was purified 114-fold with a yield of 16.6% from total activity of the crude extract. The purified enzyme was shown to be homogeneous by disc gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be about 109,000 by gel filtration and 47,000 by sodium dodecylsulphate SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, suggesting that the native enzyme is a dimeric form. The optimum pH for the reaction was 8.7 in Gly-NaOH buffer, and the isoelectric point of the enzyme was pH 4.2. The enzyme hydrolysed specifically N-terminal X-Pro from X-Pro-p-nitroanilides. The enzyme activity was hardly affected by various cations, sulphydryl-blocking reagents and metal chelators. The enzyme activity was markedly inhibited by 1 mM diisopropylfluoride, and the desialysed enzyme was attacked by proteinases.
