Amino and carboxyl procollagen peptidases cleaved chick procollagen I to yield the intact amino propeptides and the disulfide-linked carboxyl propeptides, which were identified and partly characterized. The same products were released by these enzymes from the two separated fragments of procollagen produced by vertebrate collagenase, and this supports the concept that cleavage of amino and carboxyl propeptides can occur independently of each other. The mechanism of carboxyl propeptide cleavage by enzyme preparations acting on isolated substrates was found to be closely similar to that observed in whole tissues. Specifically, while carboxyl procollagen peptidase made the initial cut in normally hydroxylated PCcollagen at random, for the subsequent two cuts the p&l chains were cleaved more slowly than the p&2 chain. Intermediates and final products of carboxyl cleavage were isolated from the in viva and in vitro systems. Comparison indicated that neither the collagen chains nor the propeptides underwent secondary, subsequent proteolytic cuts. Partly renatured underhydroxylated procollagen was separated chromatographically into two fractions: one behaved as denatured and the other as native material by sedimentation criteria. While carboxyl procollagen peptidase correctly cleaved both the native and the denatured materials, amino procollagen peptidase only cut the native substrate; it ceased to act at temperatures at which the collagen helix became unfolded. The release of propeptide-containing regions from procollagen by bacterial collagenase was compared with the cleavage by procollagen peptidases. The region within the amino propeptides which is a collagen helix was degraded only slowly by bacterial collagenase while in a native configuration, but was rapidly cleaved after denaturation. A tentative model is proposed in which the terminal Co1 1 portion of the aminopropeptide is folded back over the collagen stem.
