A detergent-solubilized pig intestinal microvillus aminopeptidase (microsomal aminopeptidase, EC 3.4.11.2) was purified approximately 150 times with a yield of about 20% by a rapid and simple immunoadsorbent technique. The purified enzyme was shown to be homogeneous by crossed immunoelectrophoresis and by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in dodecyl sulfate. It was also essentially free from other known peptidases and disaccharidases. By charge-shift crossed immunoelectrophoresis, the hydrophilic form was continuously generated during a more time-consuming purification procedure and also during storage. The development of a rapid purification procedure allowed the preparation of an amphiphilic form free from the hydrophilic one, which could be stabilized by 0.5 mM HgCl2. Intestinal aminopeptidase, isolated from a pig having the pancreatic duct ligated 3 days before sacrifice, migrated in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis as a single polypeptide chain with a MW of 162,000. The enzyme from a pig with intact pancreatic duct, when purified in the presence of Kunitz trypsin inhibitor consisted of 3 polypeptide chains (MW 162,000, 123,000 and 61,000). Trypsin treatment in vitro converted the large polypeptide chain into the 2 smaller ones. The membrane-bound enzyme after biosynthesis may be modified by trypsin and/or chymotrypsin. The conversion of the amphiphilic form to the hydrophilic one and the hydrolysis of the large polypeptide chain into the 2 smaller ones represented different reactions.
