 AB    Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DP IV)-catalyzed hydrolysis of the
       NH2-X-Pro-containing N-terminal dodecapeptide of IL-2 was studied using
       free zone capillary electrophoresis as an alternative peptidase assay.
       In contrast to the conventional DP IV substrate
       glycyl-prolyl-p-nitroanilide (Gly-Pro-pNA), the hydrolysis of this
       peptide by DP IV was found to be significantly inhibited by anti-DP IV
       antibodies. Inhibition of DP IV was also observed with a number of
       non-substrate oligopeptides containing an N-terminal X-X-Pro- structure,
       including the HIV Tat protein. For Met-IL-2(1-6), we determined a
       competitive inhibition with an inhibition constant of ca. 100 microM.
