Th histotypic organization of liver parenchyma involves specific intercellular contacts and interaction of hepatocytes with supporting biomatrix. A peptide (Hep105, apparent MW 105,000) was identified that is shared by the plasma membrane of rat hepatocytes and rat liver biomatrix. Hep105 was identified as a peptide component of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV; EC 3.4.14.-). A monoclonal antibody (MAb 236.3) immunoprecipitated DPPIV from non-ionic detergent extracts of surface-labeled 125I hepatocytes. The immunoprecipitate comtained two 125I-labeled peptides: Hep105 and a peptide of apparent MW 150,000 (Hep150). Proteolysis of 125I-labeled Hep105 and Hep150 by Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease yielded essentially identical patterns of 125I-labeled peptide degradation products, indicating that Hep105 and Hep150 are structurally related. Only Hep150 exhibited DPPIV activity on transblot analysis, an observation that is consistent with the interpretation that it is the monomeric form of the enzyme. Heating (100.degree. C, 5 min) of purified Hep150 in the presence of sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) resulted in its conversion to Hep105 and the disappearance of any demonstrable enzymatic activity. 3H-labeled diisopropyl fluorophosphate was incorporated into Hep105, indicating that Hep105 contains the active site for DPPIV. Purified rat liver biomatrix possessed significant DPPIV activity. Apparently, Hep105 is a peptide component of DPPIV.
