Proteinase activity in the cellular slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum has been analyzed by electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gels containing denatured hemoglobin. At least eight bands due to acid proteinases have been defined using extracts of myxamoebae, four bands A-D which move faster than the fifth and major band E, a minor band E' which moves just behind E and two slow bands G and H. Fruiting body formation was accompanied by the appearance of one new proteinase band F. The proteinases were present in extracts of both axenically-grown and bacterially-grown cells. Differences between the pH dependence and stability of the individual proteinases were detected. Inhibitor studies suggested that the faster proteinases A-D may be cathepsin B-like, whilst the slower enzymes E, E' and F do not fit readily into any known group of proteinases since they were sensitive to HgCl2 but not to other inhibitors of cathepsin B and not to inhibitors of cathepsin D-like proteinases under standard conditions. None of the proteinases was apparently formed during or after preparation of extracts and the proteinases could be re-run on polyacrylamide gels to give only the band expected from the first run. The bands are believed to reflect multiple proteinase activities within the cell.
