The mouse submaxillary proteases (A and D), whose isolation and properties were previously described by us, hydrolyze only arginyl bonds in proteins. The sequence of 40 residues from the amino terminus has been determined. Its structure shows a striking (>50%) homology with other enzymes of the serine group (e.g., trypsin, prothrombin, plasminogen, kallikrein). A single peptide labeled with diisopropylfluoro[32P]phosphate had a composition virtually identical to that found in the above proteases, and one active site per molecule was confirmed. The enzymes are very susceptible to spontaneous fragmentation which leads to two cleavages. The first converts enzyme A to D with loss of a small peptide. The second can only be demonstrated after reduction since the fragments appear to be joined by a disulfide bridge. The two resulting fragments with molecular weights of 14,000 and 11,000, respectively, are inactive.
