The amine specificity of guinea pig liver transglutaminase, a model enzyme for endo-.gamma.-glutamine:.epsilon.-lysine transferases, was explored with the aid of synthetic substrates of high apparent affinities. As exemplified by dansyl-(5-dimethylamino-1-naphthalenesulfonyl), (2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonyl)-, and (2,4,6-triisopropylbenzenesulfonyl)-cadaverines, each of which showed affinities of approximately 4 .times. 107/M, the best amine substrates carried a large hydrophobic substituent attached to an alkylamine side chain of about 7.2 .ANG. in length. A hydrophobic binding region exists in the enzyme from where the alkyl side chain reaches into a narrow crevice toward the active center and positions the primary amine of the substrate for attacking the carbonyl group of the acyl enzyme intermediate.
