A novel acid proteinase (Tropiase) was isolated from Candida tropicalis IFO 0589 by DE52-cellulose, and DEAE-Cosmogel column chromatographies. The purified tropiase gave a single band on disc polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, isoelectric focusing and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme preparation had a molecular weight of 23,900, isoelectric point of pH 5.1, optimum pH range of 7 to 9 and possessed 208 amino acid residues. The enzyme hydrolyzed casein, fibrinogen, keratin and collagen. The purified tropiase demonstrated hemorrhagic and capillary permeability-increasing activities. Inhibition of tropiase occurred with leupeptin and N-bromosuccinimide, however, no inhibition was observed with α2 -macroglobulin, soybean trypsin inhibitor, benzamidine-HCl or diisopropyl fluorophosphate.
