Harold E. Van Wart* and Spencer H. Lin abstract: Porcinekidney leucine aminopeptidase has been obtained from commercial sources as an inhomogeneous preparation with variable metal content and purified by affinity chromatography over L-leucylglycyl-AH-Sepharose. Treat-ment· with Zn2+ followed by gel filtration restores the Zn2+ content of the native enzyme, which is 6 mol of Zn2+ per hexamer, each of which is located at a single catalytic binding site per subunit. The activity of the native enzyme is modulated by incubation with divalent metal ions; it is activatedI-Veucine aminopeptidase (LAP) 1 (EC 3.4. 11.1) is one of a broad class of zinc metallopeptidases that is involved in the metabolism of peptides and proteins (Himmelhoch, 1970; Delange & Smith, 1971). Zinc metallopeptidases are usually subdivided into the endopeptidases, such as thermolysin, the C-terminal exopeptidases, such as carboxypeptidases A and B, and the N-terminal peptidases, such as leucine amino-peptidase. From the former two classes of enzymes, thermolysin and carboxypeptidase A have been extensively studied with respect to both their crystalstructures and their kinetic
