Substance P, a unidecapeptide with potent CNS action, is rapidly inactivated by rat brain homogenate with release of all amino acids including Met.NH2. The inactivating enzyme present in the 100,000gsupernatant was purified on DEAE-cellulose and was eluted in parallel with a neutral endopeptidase degrading hemoglobin and histone. Breakdown was followed by measurement of amino acids released using a method capable of resolving Met.NH2and Leu-Met. NH2. The preferential release of Phe and Leu indicated cleavage at two or more internal sites (-Gln6-Phe7- or -Phe7-Phe8- and -Gly9-Leu10-) with release of intermediate peptidyl products. The presence of free Met following inactivation resulted from the deamidation of Met.NH2after its liberation from Substance P. A slow release of Arg1and Pro2indicated that the Arg1-Pro2bond is only slowly cleaved by brain aminopeptidases.
