The .gamma.-D-glutamyl-(L)-meso-diaminopimelate endopeptidase, or endopeptidase I, from B. sphaericus 9602 was purified to apparent protein homogeneity. The purification was achieved by a 6-step procedure: ammonium sulfate fractionation, phenyl-Sepharose chromatography, 2 consecutive DEAE-Trisacryl chromatographies, chromatofocusing and Sephacryl S-200 permeation chromatography. The enzyme was purified 5000-fold with a 38% recovery of lytic activity. It is an acidic protein (pI 5.4) of hydrophobic nature. Kinetic studies have shown a Km value of 0.57 mM and an apparent Vmax of 8.3 .mu.mol min-1 (mg enzyme)-1 with N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanyl-.gamma.-D-glutamyl-(L)-meso-diaminopimelyl(L)-D-[14C]alanine as substrate. The enzyme was inhibited by o-phenanthroline and EDTA and was reactivated by Zn, Co and Mn ions; thus endopeptidase I is a metallo enzyme, probably a Zn enzyme. It is a heat-stable protein with an apparent inactivation temperature of 80.degree. C.
