Abstract

A factor which markedly activates Ca2+‐dependent thiol protease (calpain) is associated with Triton X‐100‐insoluble materials, presumably structural elements such as cytoskeletons, of bovine brain microsomal fraction. This factor is extracted with 0.6 M KCl, and purified partially by sucrose density gradient centrifugation and hydroxyapatite column chromatography. The factor appears to be a heat‐stable protein with an approximate M r, of 15000. With casein as substrate this factor activates both calpain I and calpain II severalfold up to more than 10‐ fold without alteration of their affinity to Ca2+. Calmodulin is unable to substitute for this factor. A similar factor is associated with human platelet insoluble materials.
