The protease from Streptomyces cellulosae preferentially catalyzed the condensation reaction producing tripeptide amides in highly concentrated mixture solutions of various dipeptides and amino acid amides, although it weakly hydrolyzed the substrates at the same time. The tripeptide amides formed were L-Leu-Gly-Gly-NH2 (PLGGN) from L-Leu-Gly and Gly-NH2 and L-Leu-Gly-L-Leu-NH2 (PLGLN) from L-Leu-Gly and L-Leu-NH2. Moreover, the ratio of the rate of PLGLN formation per the proteolytic activity of this enzyme was much larger than those of the other proteases tested. The formation of PLGLN was studied at various concentrations of the substrates (L-Leu-Gly and L-Leu-NH2). The dependences of the initial velocities of PLGGN, formation on the substrates concentrations could be explained by a two-substrate, one-product reaction mechanism involving a single active center forming the peptide bonds and two substrate-binding sites. The values of the substrate dissociation constants for enzyme-substrate complexes were about 0.6 M for L-Leu-Gly and 0.008M for L-Leu-NH2.
