Other interactions of Cpa1

  • Glucagon1-21 has been prepared by treating native glucagon with carboxypeptidase A. Purified glucagon1-21 did not contain detectable methionine (less than 0.001 residue/mol) and the activity of the compound did not change after treatment with cyanogen bromide as has been shown with native glucagon [19].
  • Only one of the exon/intron junctions of the rat CPE gene is present in a comparable position within the genes for carboxypeptidase-A and -B, both of which are only 17-21% homologous to CPE at the amino acid level [20].
  • Enkephalinase, a zinc-containing metallo enzyme, displays homology with other zinc metallo enzymes such as carboxypeptidase A, B and E, suggesting enzymatic similarities in these enzymes [21].
  • On the other hand, selective inhibition of granule chymase (leaving carboxypeptidase A active) totally abolished the proteolytic degradation of LDL [22].
  • The results are consistent with a model according to which the proteolytic degradation of LDL by mast cell granules results from coordinated action of the two granule-bound enzymes, whereby the chymase first cleaves peptides from the apolipoprotein B of LDL, and thereafter the carboxypeptidase A cleaves amino acids from the peptides formed [22].
