Y. Nagai, f C. M. Lapiere, J and J. Gross abstract: The preparation of a collagenolytic enzyme from the medium of tissue cultures of tadpole tail fin and back skin is described. The yield of enzyme from the tissues of thyroxine-stimulated tadpoles was the same as that from nontreated tadpoles and very little activity was produced by the skin of mature frogs. The enzyme was concentrated as much as 300-fold by sequential ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel filtration, starch block electrophoresis, and DEAE-cellulose chromatography. Caseinolytic activity was considerably reduced but was still present at low levels in the final product. The purified enzyme attacks native calf skincollagen in solution at pH 7.6 reducing the viscosity 40-50% at 20 and 75% at 27, and prevents reconstitution pJL^ xtracts of tissues in which rapid physiologic resorp-tion of collagen occurs have consistently failed to yield an enzyme which, at neutral pH and physiologic tem-perature, will attack native collagen (Mandl, 1961; Woessner, 1965; Lapiere and Gross, 1963). However collagenolytic activity has been detected in the medium of cultured tissues such as tadpole tail, gills, and gut, mammalian uterus, bone, and skin wounds (Gross and Lapiere, 1962; Gross et al., 1963; Walker et al., 1964; Grillo and Gross, 1964). This enzyme apparently is synthesized de nooo from living cells and accumulates in the culture chamber to detectable levels during the period of incubation. No enzyme activity was produced by frozen thawed tissues or by those exposed to puromycin (Gross and Lapiere, 1962; Eisen and Gross, 1965). The tadpole collagenase hasbeen harvested from the culture medium and purified (Nagai et al., 1963) and its mode of attack on collagen partially character-ized. Thenative molecule is attacked at a single locus and across the three polypeptide chains cleaving off one-quarter length of the molecule at the “B” end.
