Cathepsin G was purified by single-step cation-exchange chromatography from rat polymorphonuclear leukocytes, obtained from the peritoneal cavity after induction of a mild peritonitis. The 26 N-terminal amino acids were determined and showed 73% identity to those of human cathepsin G. Total amino-acid composition demonstrated a high degree of basic amino acids in accordance with its high affinity for the cationic-exchange gel medium. The protein was found to be a glycoprotein with a glucosamine content of 7.4% of the calculated Mr28,900. On SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis the protein showed a Mr of 28,400. It migrated as two bands in a gradient SDS/polyacrylamide-gel indicating isoforms. The pH optimum for the proteinase was determined to be 8.0-8.5 using Suc-Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe-Nan as substrate (Suc = 3-carboxypropionyl; Nan = 4-nitroanilide). Km and Kcat/Km values for Suc-Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe-Nan were 0.86mM and 280M-1S-1 and for Suc-Phe-Leu-Phe-Nan 0.24mM and 3600M-1S-1, respectively.
