The heat-stable polypeptide of the ATP-dependent proteolytic system of [rabbit] reticulocytes, designated APF-1, forms covalent conjugates with protein substrates in an ATP-requiring process. An enzyme that carries out the activation by ATP of the polypeptide with pyrophosphate displacement is described. The formation of AMP-polypeptide and transfer of the polypeptide to a secondary acceptor are suggested by an APF-1 requirement for ATP-PPi and ATP-AMP exchange reactions, respectively. With radiolabeled polypeptide, an ATP-dependent labeling of the enzyme was shown to be by a linkage that is acid stable but is labile to treatment with mild alkali, hydroxylamine, borohydride or mercuric salts. The AMP-polypeptide apparently undergoes attack by an -SH group of the enzyme to form a thiolester.
