C. perfringens type A enterotoxin was activated about 3-fold by treatment with trypsin, without an observed change in MW. On denaturation in 8 M urea, the trypsinated enterotoxin lost a small peptide of about 4000 daltons. The single cysteine residue of enterotoxin was in the small peptide together with 7 of 9 residues of proline. Trypsin activation, without removal of the small peptide, increased the outside number of amino groups from 8 to 11. The trypsin treatment of the enterotoxin did not change the antigenic properties of the protein. Glycine was the C-terminal residue of the native enterotoxin while the dansyl .alpha.-amino acid of the N-terminal could not be identified.
