Peptide hydrolase activities present in young and senescing flag leaves of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were fractionated on DEAE-cellulose columns. Part of the endopeptidase activity was not bound to DEAE-cellulose at pH 7.5 (peak I) and had a broad pH Optimum (against acetylated casein) between 6 and 9. The other peaks (IIA and IIB) eluted in the NaCl gradient showed a pH optimum between 4 and 7. During senescence the endopeptidase pattern changed markedly in favour of peak I. Glutamine synthetase and nitrate reductase in extracts from young leaves were rapidly inactivated after addition of peak I-eluate, while peak Il-eluate was considerably less effective.
