Our previous studies on carbohydrate structures of purified porcine spleen cathepsin B indicated that there are two cathepsin B isozymes, each containing a different carbohydrate (Takahashi, T., Schmidt, P. G., and Tang, J. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 6059-6062). We have now isolated these two enzymes and carried out a comparative study on their structures and en- zymic properties. The major isozyme (CB-I) is a two- chain enzyme (Mr = 28,000) with a light chain (Mr = 5,000) and a heavy chain (Mr = 23,000), whereas the minor enzyme (CB-11) is a single chain enzyme (Mr = 27,000). The NH2-terminal amino acid residues of CB- I were leucine and valine for the light and heavy chain, respectively. However, the NHderminal residue of CB-I1 was not available for automated Edman degra- dation. In addition, peptide mapping experiments in- dicated a difference in the primary structure of these two proteins. Despite such structural differences, they are similar in many enzymic properties. CB-I was more catalytically efficient than CB-I1 toward synthetic sub- strates, except for the substrate benzoyl-L-arginine @- naphthylamide for which the relative catalytic effi- ciency is reversed. Both isozymes degraded glucagon by a dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase activity. Under the same conditions, CB-I was 4-5 times more efficient than CB-11. The results indicate that the cathepsin B isozymes are two separate gene products, but they are similar in enzymic properties.

Cathepsin B is an intracellular proteolytic enzyme which belongs to the group of closely related thiol proteinases in- cluding cathepsins H and L (1, 2 ) . Cathepsin B is generally known as an endopeptidase which has a specificity €or peptide bonds at the carboxyl side of 2 basic residues in synthetic substrates, such as benzyloxycarbonylarginylarginine p- naphthylamide (2,3).

DISCUSSION

In the present study, we have purified two cathepsin B isozymes from porcine spleens with an activity ratio of 20:l (isozyme CB-1:CB-11) using as substrate Cbz-Ala-Arg-Arg- 4MeOpNA.’ Table I summarizes the results from our com- parative study on the two cathepsin B isozymes. These data suggest that the isozymes are structurally different in many aspects.

and that of isozyme CB-I1 was 33,000. However, for both isozymes, nearly the same values (27,000-28,000) were ob- tained in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electro- phoresis. The discrepancy is the apparent molecular weight of isozyme CB-I1 is probably due to the presence of a larger oligosaccharide unit in its structure (14). We tentatively as- signed the protein molecular weights of the two isozymes to be 27,000-28,000.

Isozyme CB-I consists of two polypeptide chains, a light chain ( M , = 5,000) and a heavy chain (AI, = 22,000). This two-chain cathepsin B structure is similar to the enzyme found in rat (34) and human liver (35). On the other hand, isozyme CB-I1 is apparently a single-chain enzyme. Unex- pectedly, neither the native nor denatured protein produced an NHyterminal amino acid sequence by automated Edman degradation. This suggests that the enzyme contains a NH2- terminal residue whose a-amino group is not available for the automated Edman sequence analysis. At present, it is not clear whether this is a result of a natural blocking group (36) or the presence of terminal pyroglutamic acid formed during the isolation of the enzyme (37).

The amino acid compositions calculated based on these values showed apparent similarity in the enzymes. The pep- tide mapping of tryptic and a-chymotryptic digests, however, revealed differences in the primary structure of these proteins. Recently, we have reported that there is a single amino acid replacement 6 residues away from the carboxyl side of the glycosylated Asn residue in both enzymes (14). Additional difference in the primary structure of the two enzymes is highly probable, as suggested by the results of peptide map- ping experiments. These structural differences appear to ex- clude the possibility that isozyme CB-I1 is a direct precursor of CB-I. I t seems more likely that the two cathepsin B

isozymes are the products of separate genes. Since mammalian tissues are known to contain several

cysteine proteinases, such as cathepsins H and L with similar and somewhat overlapping enzymic properties (1, 2), the specificities of the isozymes have been thoroughly examined. These results, as summarized in Tables J and 11, clearly indicate that both are cathepsin B isozymes. The major sup- porting evidence is as follows: (a) both enzymes have similar specificities toward synthetic substrates, and they only differ from each other quantitatively; (b) the enzymes inactivate rabbit muscle aldolase; and (c ) the enzymes degrade glucagon by a dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase activity.

Despite the noticeable difference in their structures, the two enzymes exhibit as a whole similar enzymic properties. In fact, virtually no difference was observed in their stability, pH activity profile, and inhibition by appropriate inhibitors. The kinetic study (Table 11) with different synthetic sub- strates, however, displayed subtle but significant differences in the enzymes. The study shows that, toward the oligopeptide substrates tested, the catalytic efficiency of CB-I is consist- ently higher than that of CB-11. In contrast, the efficiency is reversed in the case of substrate BANA. The differences in the enzymic action are not surprising since the isozymes are structurally distinguishable. The higher catalytic efficiency of CB-I persists for the hydrolysis of peptide and protein sub- strates. The enzyme inactivates intact aldolase and degrades glucagon approximately 3-4 times faster than CB-11.

The question of whether the isozymes are derived separately from genetically different animals has been examined. We have found that the two cathepsin B isozymes are present in a single porcine spleen with an activity ratio corresponding to that found in the purified enzyme preparation? This ob-

servation indicates that both cathepsin B isozyme genes are present in an individual animal. The physiological signifi- cance for occurrence of the two enzymes is not clear at this time since the individual biological function of the isozymes is not known.

It is interesting to compare our present results with those of Olstein and Liener (33) who, examined in a comparative manner, mouse liver cathepsin B and an analogous thiol proteinase from a transplantable tumor induced by methyl- cholanthrene. CB-I and CB-I1 in this study apparently resem- ble the mouse liver and the tumor enzyme, respectively. In particular, the correlation of specificity toward synthetic sub- strates is remarkable. It is well-established that isozyme com- position patterns change depending on the degree of differ- entiation of tissues. A number of such changes have been reproted for liver enzymes (38). A striking feature of these changes is the appearance of either the fetal liver or whole, early embryo isozymes as the predominant or sole forms in poorly differentiated tissues. These fetal enzymes are known to become predominant in the tumor tissue. These consider- ations lead us to speculate that CB-I may arise from a gene that is expressed in the well-differentiated cells, whereas CB- I1 represents the fetal gene expression taking place in poorly differentiated cells. Indeed, spleen is histologically a complex organ consisting of many different cell types with varying degrees of differentiation.

F i v e 51. Aldolase insctivstion by CB-I and CB-11.

A. Aldolase was incubated with L S O P ~ S CB-I and CB-I1 s.p.rat.1y o r without the s n r m a. demeribed In the Vlethods’. Aldolase activity w u warnured by taking aliquots of the incubation mixture a t different times. The Initial aldol... ectivity Of the mixture warn 3 unltslml under the assay condition^ described in ‘Uorthlngton nanual’. No cathepain B activity 10.. in the mixture wan asan after 6 hour Incubation.

B. Aliquot. of reaction mixtures in A *.re electrophoroaed in 12X polyacryluid. gel in SDS. The mixture. which had basn incubated for 0 h (A,E). 2 h (B.P), 4 h (C.6). and 6 h (D.H). we1 applied.
