N-Formyl peptides are derived from proteolytic degradation/processing of bacterial and mitochondrial proteins and serve as potent chemoattractants for mammalian phagocytic leukocytes. A response to the chemotacticN-formyl peptides released by commensal bacteria in the gut region could be detrimental, leading to unwanted inflammation. Here, two enzymes that act sequentially to degradeN-formyl peptides were purified from the rat intestinal mucosal layer and biochemically characterized. The first enzyme cleaves chemotactic peptide f-MLF to releaseN-formylmethionine (f-Met) and dipeptide leucylphenylalanine, with akcatvalue of 14 s-1,aKMvalue of 0.60 mM, and akcat/KMvalue of 22 500 M-1s-1. In-gel tryptic digestion followed by mass spectral fingerprinting identified the protein as the α-N-acylpeptide hydrolase (or acylamino acid-releasing enzyme, EC 3.4.19.1). The second enzyme hydrolyzesN-formylmethionine into formate and methionine with akcatvalue of 7.9 s-1, aKMvalue of 3.1 mM, and akcat/KMvalue of 2550 M-1s-1. This protein was identified as theN-acylase IA (orNα-acyl-l-amino acid amidohydrolase, EC 3.5.1.14). Together, these two enzymes play a protective role in degrading bacterial and mitochondrial N-formylated peptides.
