Latent collagenase was activated by brief exposure to SDS [sodium dodecyl sulfate] and resolved by acrylamide slab gel electrophoresis in the presence of this detergent. Specific collagenase activity in the SDS-electrophoretogram was demonstrated by an overlay technique after removal of SDS by Triton X-100. Clostridial collagenase (MW = 126,000) and active collagenase harvested from bovine gingival organ culture (MW = 65,000) migrated as single bands whereas human fibroblast collagenase was resolved into 2 distinct double bands at MW 65,000/55,000 and 50,000/45,000. Preincubation with trypsin led to activation of latent enzyme and to concomitant disappearance of the larger doublet. The data suggest a precursor-product relationship between the 2 sets of double bands.
