Membrane-bound peptidases from B. sphaericus 9602 were tested upon various peptides to determine the substrate requirements of each enzyme. LD-Carboxypeptidase and .gamma.-D-glutamyl-meso-diaminopimelate endopeptidase were never active on the same substrate. LD-Carboxypeptidase splits the L-Lys-D-Ala linkage of lysine-containing substrates and the msA2pm[meso-diaminopimelic acid]D-Ala linkage of msA2pm-containing substrates which have an amide group on the .omega.-carboxyl. The endopeptidase hydrolyses the .**GRAPHIC**. linkage of msA2pm-containing peptides and derivatives with free .omega.-NH2 and .omega.-COOH groups. The presence or the absence of an .alpha.-amide group on glutamic acid, the 2nd residue of peptides, has no influence on the specificities of either enzyme. Likewise, N-substitution of N-terminal L-alanine does not modify the enzymic specificities. Kinetic studies showed that MurNAc[N-acetylmuramic acid] .**GRAPHIC**. and .**GRAPHIC**. are good substrates for LD-carboxypeptidase (apparent Km = 0.8 mM and 1.25 mM, respectively). .**GRAPHIC**. is the best substrate for the endopeptidase (apparent Km = 0.33 mM). An amide group on glutamic acid gives a decrease of 80% of LD-carboxypeptidase and endopeptidase activities. Various inhibitors of endopeptidase were studied: DD-diaminopimelic acid and msA2pm isomers are very good inhibitors. Dicarboxylic D-amino acids .**GRAPHIC**. also show an inhibition which is a function of the length of the side chain: the maximum is observed for n = 4 (D-.alpha.-aminopimelic acid).
