Dlpeptidyl peptidase IV (m-DPP IV) in rat liver lysosomal membranes was purified about 50-fold over the lysosomal membranes with 38% recovery to apparent homogeneity, as determined from the pattern on polyacrylamlde gel electrophoresis In the presence and in the absence of SDS. The enzyme amounts to about 3% of lysosomal membrane protein constituents. The purification procedures included: extraction of lysosomal membranes by Triton X-lO0, WGA-Sepharose affinity chromatography, hydroxylapatite chromatography, Ion exchange chromatography, and preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme (Mr. 240,000) Is composed of two Identical subunits with an apparent molecular weight of 110,000. The enzyme contains about 12.4% carbohydrate and the carbohydrate moiety was composed of mannose, galactose, fucose, N-acetylglucosamine, and neuraminic acid in a molar ratio of 14: 17 : 2: 24: 11. Susceptibility to neuraminidase and immunoreactivity of the enzyme in intact tritosomes were examined to study the topology of the enzyme in tritosomal membranes. Neuraminidase susceptibility and Immunoreactivity of the enzyme were not observed In the intact tritosomes until the tritosomes had been disrupted by osmotic shock. This result indicated that both the oligosaccharlde chains and the main protein portion of the enzyme are on the inside surface of the tritosomal membranes. Subcellular localization of DPP IV was determined by means of enzyme Immunoassay, which Indicated that bile canalicular membranes and lysosomal membranes are the major sites of localization, and DPP IV activity in lysosomes was separated into a membrane bound form (60%) and a soluble form (40%). Iminunoelectron microscopy clearly confirmed that DPP IV occurs not only in the bile canalicular domain but also In the lysosomes of rat liver.
