Abstract
The homologous brain-gut propeptides, procholecystokinin (proCCK) and progastrin, both undergo extensive posttranslational maturation in specific neuroendocrine cells. The process comprises multiple endoproteolytic cleavages at mono- and dibasic sites, in addition to exoproteolytic trimmings and amino acid derivatizations. Knockout of prohormone convertases (PCs) in mice and studies in cell lines indicate that PC1, PC2 and, to a minor extent, PC5, are responsible for most of the endoproteolytic cleavages of both prohormones. Progastrin in antral G-cells is cleaved by PC1 at two di-Arg sites, R36R37 and R73R74, whereas, PC2 only cleaves at the single di-Lys site, K53K54. Pituitary corticotrophs and intestinal TG-cells, both of which express gastrin, do not cleave K53K54 due to lack of PC2. In proCCK five monobasic (R25, R44, R50, K61 and R75) as well as a single dibasic site (R85R86) can all be cleaved by both PC1 and PC2. But the cleavage differs in a cell-specific manner in that PC1 is responsible for the entire endoproteolytic cleavage in intestinal endocrine I-cells, except for perhaps the K61 site. In contrast PC2 is responsible for most endoproteolysis of proCCK in the cerebral CCK-neurons, which do not express PC1 in significant amounts. Moreover, PC5 appears to contribute to a minor extent to the neuronal proCCK and to the antral progastrin processing. This review emphasizes that prohormone convertases play a decisive but substrate and cell-specific role in the biosynthetic maturation of gastrin and CCK.

Abstract
This review describes some of the most typical features in the evolution of neuropeptides. Neuropeptides are synthesized like other polypeptides and proteins, with an amino acid sequence determined by the DNA sequence of the corresponding gene. Mutations of bases in the coding regions of the DNA lead to changes in amino acid sequence, and explain the differences in amino acid sequence of a certain neuropeptide in different animal species. The more distantly related two species are, the more substitutions can be found in one and the same neuropeptide. The biologically active part of the neuropeptide is usually the most conserved part. Neuropeptides also form families of closely related peptides, where several members may occur in one animal species. This is due to gene or exon duplications followed by mutations. Gene splicing and posttranslational processing decides the gene product in a single cell. Difference in sequence may cause difference in function, but more often than not, members of a family appear to produce the same effect. Three neuropeptide families, the tachykinins, the neuropeptide Y family, and the vasoactive intestinal polypeptide/pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide family will be described in more detail.

Abstract
Cholecystokinin (CCK) exists in multiple molecular forms with different polypeptide lengths and the absence or presence of sulphation. We have isolated sulphated and nonsulphated forms of CCK-58 from porcine intestine and have determined their bioactivities in a guinea-pig gallbladder contraction assay. Both forms co-eluted in cation-exchange chromatography and in several rounds of reverse-phase (RP)-HPLC, but separated upon RP-HPLC using a water/acetonitrile system with heptafluorobutyric acid as counter ion. Nonsulphated CCK-58 was the form detected by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry because of desulphation in that process. The biological activity of CCK-58 and CCK-33 is equipotent, although the kinetics of the response differ. Sulphated CCK-58 was found to be 35 times more potent than nonsulphated CCK-58. In contrast, sulphated CCK-8 is 150 times more potent than nonsulphated CCK-8, and for sulphated and nonsulphated CCK-33, the activities differ by a factor of 100. This type of correlation indicates that the N-terminal end of CCK-58 partially compensates for the decrease in activity arising from the lack of sulphated tyrosine. Given its fairly high bioactivity, nonsulphated CCK-58 may have a physiological significance.

Abstract
This review examines a major problem for an old hormone. Hormones are defined by the ability to reach their targets via blood. Consequently, knowledge about a hormone requires measurement of its behaviour in blood. So far, however, it has proven exceptionally difficult to measure the classical gut hormone, cholecystokinin (CCK), in circulation. The review therefore describes the premises for reliable plasma CCK measurements as compared to the premises for measurement in tissue extracts and cerebrospinal fluid. The critical plasma premises comprise equimolar quantitation of the bioactive CCK peptides in circulation (CCK-83, -58, -33, -22 and -8) without interference from homologous gastrin peptides. The latter may appear nearly impossible, because the bioactive epitopes of CCK and gastrin are almost identical, and because the plasma concentrations of gastrin are more than tenfold above those of CCK. In comparison, measurement of CCK in tissue is considerably simpler, especially in extracts of the two main production sites, the brain and jejunoileal mucosa. For cerebrospinal fluid, degradation, low levels and shortage of material constitute major problems so that the molecular nature and biological/clinical relevance of CCK measurements in CSF still remain to be settled. The review finally enlists the reports on plasma CCK measurements published so far. A multitude of different immuno- and bioassays have been used with corresponding variation in the results. The theory for different types of assays in combination with general assay experience suggest that accurate CCK measurements require radioimmunoassay technology based on high-affinity antibodies. These antibodies have to be exquisitely specific for the 0-sulfated C-terminal heptapeptide amide of CCK without binding the similar gastrin epitope. Only few of such antibodies have been raised.

Abstract
The purpose of this report is to provide a review of four peptides (cholecystokinin, bombesin, neuropeptide Y, galanin) and their role in feeding behavior. Cholecystokinin (CCK) and bombesin (BBS) are considered satiety peptides, and neuropeptide Y (NPY) and galanin (GAL) have been proposed as appetite peptides. For the purposes of this review, satiety refers to the physiological cessation of feeding, and appetite refers to the drive to eat and exists in gradations.

Abstract
The nature of cholecystokinin (CCK) in rabbit plasma was examined by means of a novel in vivo immunosorption procedure. Cholecystokinin (CCK) antibodies in 11 rabbit antisera were denatured, and the released peptides characterized by size and reversed-phase chromatography. Five of six antisera specific for the COOH terminus of CCK contained substantial amounts of CCK-22- and CCK-8-like peptides and small amounts of CCK-33-like peptides (range, 120 to 1140 nmol/l antiserum). In contrast, neither antisera for the NH2-terminus and mid-sequence of porcine CCK-33 nor antisera against the glycine-extended COOH terminus released CCK peptides. Postprandial acidified plasma from non-immunized rabbits concentrated in vitro also contained mainly CCK-22- and -8-like peptides, whereas extracts of rabbit duodenum and jejunum in addition contained forms resembling CCK-58, -39, and/or -33. The results show that mainly small molecular forms of CCK circulate in rabbits, and that NH2-terminal and mid-sequences of porcine and human CCK-33 differ from those of rabbit CCK-33. The results support the contention that plasma in most mammals contains small molecular forms of CCK.

Abstract
Sorbin has been isolated from extracts of porcine upper intestine, and the biological activity in absorbing water and electrolytes utilized to monitor the purification procedure. Pure sorbin was obtained in a yield of about 1 mg/Mg boiled intestine. The protein chain has 153 amino acid residues and the primary structure was determined by analyses of CNBr-cleaved fragments and four enzymatic digests. The protein has a free N-terminal Met and an amidated C-terminal Ala. No structural similarity was observed with other known proteins in data bases, but several segments have special properties and the C-terminal half is rich in Pro and Arg.

Abstract
Proteases released into the circulation during acute pancreatitis may hydrolyse circulating peptide hormones leading to altered regulatory functions. Cholecystokinin is a major regulator of postprandial gut function; stimulating pancreatic enzyme secretion, gallbladder contraction and diminishing food intake. Cholecystokinin-58 is the largest and most abundant form of this hormone in acid extracts of human intestine, and major amounts are released into the circulation after feeding. In order to test whether cholecystokinin-58 is degraded more rapidly due to the increased circulating of enzymes, this peptide was added to blood and plasma of patients with acute pancreatitis and incubated for various time intervals. The in vitro half life of cholecystokinin-58 was 10 +/- 1 minutes (mean +/- SE) in plasma and 11 +/- 1 min in blood from patients with acute pancreatitis, about four fold lower than the half life in plasma of healthy volunteers; 45 +/- 5 min. Degradation of cholecystokinin-58 produced immunoreactive forms of cholecystokinin that eluted in the positions of cholecystokinin-8 and cholecystokinin-33/39. We conclude that acute pancreatitis increases the degradation of CCK molecules.

Abstract
The relative potencies of synthetic human cholecystokinin (h-CCK)-33, porcine CCK-33 (p-CCK-33) and CCK-8 were examined by measuring pancreatic secretion in the conscious rat (in vivo) and amylase release from rat pancreatic acini using a perifusion study (in vitro). The increments of protein output during an 1-hr infusion of 100 pmol/kg/hr of h-CCK-33, p-CCK-33 and CCK-8 were 27.0 +/- 2.9 mg/hr (M +/- SE), 19.3 +/- 2.8 and 14.0 +/- 1.8 mg/hr, respectively. H-CCK-33 and p-CCK-33 showed significantly higher responses of protein output than CCK-8 in a same molar ratio, in vivo. In vitro, the stimulation with 10(-10) M h-CCK-33, p-CCK-33 and CCK-8 led to a similar biphasic amylase release in a perifusion study. Twenty-five microM CR-1409, an antagonist for CCK receptor, completely inhibited the 10(-10) M h-CCK-33-stimulated amylase release. Although it was found that h-CCK-33 and p-CCK-33 were more potent than CCK-8 in vivo, 10(-10) M CCK-8, h-CCK-33 and p-CCK-33 were equipotent on rat pancreatic acini in vitro. It is suggested that the discrepancy in potencies of the large molecular form and small molecular form of CCK in vivo and in vitro may be attributed to the delay of degradation of the large molecular form of CCK in vivo.

Abstract
Work carried out in different laboratories has shown that the peptide pattern of the intestinal tissue is very complex and that some of the peptides are identical to those found in the central nervous system. The best studied of the peptides are of a hormonal nature, but recently evidence has been obtained that others may primarily act as antibiotics. In addition, peptides have been isolated that are fragments of some well-known proteins that have not been viewed as being prohormones. Whether the latter peptides only represent transient degradation products of the proteins or whether, at least some of them, have a physiologically meaningful selective function of their own is not yet clear.

Abstract
The receptor binding of CCK analogues was determined in terms of the inhibition of [125I]CCK binding in isolated rat pancreatic acini. The inhibition curve produced by CCK-8 showed the same feature as that produced by synthetic human CCK-33. The relative potency values of CCK analogues to half-maximally inhibit specific CCK binding were calculated; CCK-8 was equal to human CCK-33, 3-fold stronger than natural porcine CCK-33 and 39, and 700-fold stronger than the unsulphated form of synthetic human CCK-33. Our data suggest that CCK-33, one of the longer molecular forms of CCK, is as important as CCK-8 in the mechanism of physiological actions of CCK.

Abstract
Two in-vitro methods for the bioassay of cholecystokinin (CCK) are described. They should be useful for determinations of potencies of pharmaceutical formulations of CCK. Both are based on the hormone's ability to stimulate exocrine pancreas. The stimulatory effect on 45Ca efflux from preloaded suspended acinar cells or on release of amylase from pancreatic acini from the guinea-pig has been recorded. The assay based on stimulation of 45Ca outflux is more specific and precise than the method using measurements of amylase secretion. Therefore, the calcium assay was further validated against the conventional guinea-pig gall-bladder contraction assay. Both methods gave similar potency readings but the results from the in-vitro assay were more precise.

Abstract
The processing of preprogastrin-releasing peptide in mammalian tissues and in cultured cells takes place at discrete sites (Figure 6). Signal peptidase cleaves away the signal peptide from the amino terminus of gastrin-releasing peptide. An exopeptidase activity may remove dipeptides from the amino terminus. The amidation site (not shown in Fig. 6; see Fig. 2) has the same general sequence (Gly-Lys-Lys) seen for other amidated peptides. Cleavage after single basic residues yields gene-related products from Form I or II preproGRP. A unique non-basic cleavage yields a gene-related product from Form III preproGRP. The processing that occurs to form GRP, GRP, and GRP gene-related peptides is shown in Figure 7. ProGRP is cleaved by a series of enzymes to form GRP with an amidated carboxyl-terminal methionine (indicated by an asterisk in Fig. 7). GRP is cleaved to form the decapeptide GRP. The carboxyl-terminal flanking peptides of all three mRNA translation products are cleaved to form several gastrin-releasing peptide gene-related products. Knowledge of the processing of gastrin-releasing peptide and its gene-related products will allow synthesis of duplicates of the stored forms of these peptides, which can then be used for biological testing.

Abstract
Bulimia nervosa is a prevalent disorder of unknown cause, characterized by recurrent episodes of uncontrollable eating. In the light of recent evidence that the gastrointestinal hormone cholecystokinin induces satiety and reduces food intake in laboratory animals and humans, we investigated the hypothesis that abnormalities in cholecystokinin secretion and satiety may occur in patients with bulimia and contribute to their disturbed eating patterns. Blood levels of cholecystokinin and subjective satiety were measured in 14 women with bulimia and 10 normal women before and after a mixed-liquid meal. The total integrated plasma cholecystokinin response to eating was significantly impaired in patients with bulimia (P less than 0.05) as was postprandial satiety. Fasting cholecystokinin levels were similar in both populations (approximately 0.8 pmol per liter). After eating, however, mean (+/- SEM) peak plasma cholecystokinin levels increased to 4.1 +/- 0.9 pmol per liter in normal controls but to only 2.1 +/- 0.2 pmol per liter in patients with bulimia nervosa (P less than 0.05). After an open trial of tricyclic antidepressants in a subgroup of five patients with bulimia, the postprandial cholecystokinin response to eating increased significantly, to 6.6 +/- 1.2 pmol per liter (P less than 0.05), and there was an increase in the satiety response. We conclude that patients with bulimia do not have normal satiety and have impaired secretion of cholecystokinin in response to a meal. Preliminary evidence suggests that both these abnormalities may be improved by treatment with tricyclic antidepressants.

Abstract
Cholecystokinin (CCK)-58 was found to be the most abundant form in upper small intestinal mucosa of man, dog and cat. However, in pig, beef and rat upper small intestinal mucosa CCK-33/39 and smaller CCK-forms were dominant. The differences in the distribution of the molecular forms of cholecystokinin between these species presumably reflects altered posttranslational processing of procholecystokinin. This may be caused by the different feeding habits of the investigated species. The different forms of cholecystokinin were distributed over the entire length of the mucosa in canine small intestine. The total amount of CCK decreased from the duodenal mucosa towards the colon. In the canine duodenal mucosa, CCK-58 accounted for 85% of the total CCK-like immunoreactivity. The relative amounts of small forms of CCK increased towards the distal jejunum.

Abstract
Radioimmunoassays using antibodies specific for the carboxyl terminus of cholecystokinin (CCK) and the midportion of CCK-58 (raised against synthetic canine CCK-33-(1-27] revealed the existence of a CCK fragment in canine gut and brain extracts which lacks the biologically active carboxyl terminal immunoreactivity. This material eluted on Sephadex G-50 gel permeation chromatography in the region of CCK-58, on high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) after CCK-39 and before CCK-58, and on cation-exchange FPLC it eluted after CCK-58. The immunoreactive pattern, the ratio of absorbance at 280-220 nm and the chromatographic elution positions suggest that this large CCK-like molecule represents an amino-terminal fragment of CCK-58. This fragment is present in canine gut and brain. Therefore, a similar processing site of procholecystokinin is suggested in both tissues.

Abstract
To evaluate the role of the sulphated tyrosine residue in position 27 in human cholecystokinin-33, parallel bioassay of the sulphated form of human cholecystokinin-33 and the unsulphated form of human cholecystokinin-33 was performed on the pancreatic protein secretion. Both peptides increased the protein output in a dose-related manner. However, the sulphated form possessed a considerably higher activity than the sulphated form. The relative potency of the unsulphated human cholecystokinin-33 compared to that of the sulphated human cholecystokinin-33 (taken as 1.0) was 0.08. From the results, it was suggested that the sulphated tyrosine may play an important role in controlling the activity of the longer molecular forms as well as that of the smaller forms of cholecystokinin.

Abstract
Synthetic human cholecystokinin-33 was first evaluated with respect to the biological activity on the pancreatic protein secretion. Human cholecystokinin-33 increased pancreatic protein secretion in a dose-related manner. The relative molar potency of this substance compared to that of synthetic cholecystokinin-8 (taken as 1.0) was 0.92. This study supports the concept that longer molecular forms of cholecystokinin are quantitatively important mediators of biological action of cholecystokinin on the pancreas.

Abstract
The location of 125I-iodotyrosyl gastrin I binding sites in rat gastric mucosa was studied. Peptide specificity was demonstrated by competitive binding studies through the addition of a large dose of cold human gastrin I or cholecystokinin-octapeptide. Autoradiography of the stomach tissue was carried out by freeze-drying, embedding in Epon, wet-sectioning with ethylene glycol, and dry-mounting the emulsion film by means of the wire-loop method to prevent loss of the labeled substance. Specific binding sites for gastrin were found on parietal and chief cells, whereas few binding sites were seen on the surface mucous or mucous neck cells. Binding sites on the parietal cells were dispersed in the cytoplasm, while those on the chief cells were found near the basal plasma membrane.

Abstract
The classical conversion site in precursors of regulatory peptides is a sequence of two basic amino acids. During recent years, however, a group of monobasic cleavage sites has emerged. In certain cell systems it has been shown that the monobasic cleavage mechanism is both a specific mechanism which only attacks a particular basic residue, and a distinct mechanism which can be separated from the dibasic cleaving mechanism within the same cell. The vast majority of monobasic cleavages occur at single arginines although cleavage after a lysine residue has also been demonstrated. There is no 'consensus sequence' of amino acids surrounding the single basic residue which is the apparent signal for proteolytic processing. However, in approximately one third of the cases, a proline residue is found either just before or just after the basic residue. On the basis of this 'proline-directed arginyl cleavage' it is discussed how the conformation of the peptide backbone might be important for this type of cleavage. Finally, it is suggested that tissue-specific expression of different processing enzymes, e.g. dibasic and monobasic specific forms, might explain the tissue-specific processing of precursors like the pro-opiomelanocortin and the CKK and somatostatin precursor.

Abstract
Cleavage of X-Pro bonds with metallic sodium in liquid ammonia is a little-used method due to difficulties with handling of reagents, variable cleavage yields, and separation of peptides from salt byproducts. Construction of a small distillation/reaction apparatus permitted peptide incubations at the nanomole scale. Reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) of the residue after removal of NH3 allows separation of the salts and fractionation of the cleaved peptides which may be taken directly for sequence analysis. HPLC also allows rapid assessment of the degree of cleavage before structural analysis. Cleavage of some peptides proceeded in high yield while others were cleaved poorly or not at all, modifying earlier generalizations on factors influencing cleavage.

Abstract
The usefulness of a strong acid, such as MSA or TFMSA/TFA, as a deprotecting reagent in peptide synthesis was examined. By synthesizing several structurally related brain-gut-skin triangle peptides, a number of advantageous features of the thioanisole-mediated deprotecting procedure were demonstrated. New amino acid derivatives, Arg(Mts), Trp(Mts) and Asp(OChp), were introduced to improve the synthetic methodology of complex peptides and the superior properties of Cys(Ad) were evaluated.

Abstract
A sensitive and specific bioassay for the measurement of cholecystokinin (CCK) in human plasma was developed to determine the molecular forms of CCK in circulation, CCK responses to feeding, and the physiologic role of CCK in gallbladder contraction. First, plasma was quantitatively extracted and concentrated with octadecylsilylsilica, and the extracts were then assayed for their ability to stimulate amylase release from isolated rat pancreatic acini. Acini were highly sensitive to CCK whereas gastrin reacted only weakly in this system. With the assay, plasma levels of cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8) bioactivity as low as 0.2 pM were detectable. CCK bioactivity in plasma was inhibited by the CCK antagonist, bibutyryl cyclic guanosine monophosphate, and was eliminated by immunoadsorption with an antibody directed against the carboxyl terminus of CCK. Detection of fasting levels of CCK was possible in all individuals tested and averaged 1.0 +/- 0.2 pM (mean +/- SE, n = 22) CCK-8 equivalents. Plasma CCK biological activity was normal in patients with gastrin-secreting tumors. After being fed a mixed liquid meal, CCK levels rose within 15 min to 6.0 +/- 1.6 pM. The individual food components fat, protein, and amino acids were all potent stimulants of CCK secretion; in contrast, glucose caused a significant but smaller elevation in plasma CCK levels. Gel filtration studies identified three major forms of CCK bioactivity in human plasma: an abundant form that eluted with CCK-33, a smaller form that eluted with CCK-8, and an intermediate form that eluted between CCK-33 and CCK-8. Ultrasonic measurements of gallbladder volume indicated that this organ decreased 51% in size 30 min after feeding a mixed liquid meal. This contraction occurred coincidentally with the increase in plasma CCK levels. Next CCK-8 was infused to obtain CCK levels similar to postprandial levels. This infusion caused a decrease in gallbladder volume, similar to that seen with a meal. The present studies indicate, therefore, that CCK can be bioassayed in fasting and postprandial human plasma. These studies also suggest that CCK may be an important regulator of gallbladder contraction.

Abstract
Fractionation on Sephadex G50 gel of methanol extracts of guinea pig intestine reveals two molecular forms of cholecystokinin (CCK) of about equal abundance. One elutes at the position of CCK8 while the other elutes at a position intermediate between CCK33 and CCK8. Purification and sequencing of these peptides identify them as CCK8 and CCK22, respectively. Guinea pig CCK8 differs from other mammalian CCK octapeptides isolated thus far in that there is a valine substituted for methionine at position 6 from the C-terminus. In addition to the substitution in CCK8, serine is substituted for asparagine in position 22, glycine for serine in position 19, and asparagine for serine in position 15 from the C-terminus compared to the pig sequence. HPLC separation on a C18 column yields two peaks each of CCK8 and of CCK22 in pig intestinal tissue obtained from a commercial supplier. The two CCK8 peptides have identical amino acid sequences as do the two CCK22 peptides. The CCK22 peptides are equally bioactive in the guinea pig pancreatic acinar cell assay but are about 10-fold less potent than synthetic CCK8(s). One of the guinea pig CCK8 peptides is fully bioactive whereas the other is about 50-fold less potent compared to synthetic CCK8(s).

Abstract
Two radioimmunoassays specific for cholecystokinin-like immunoreactivity (CCK-LI) in human tissue are described. The first assay employed an antiserum (Z-69) directed to the sulphated tyrosine at the C-terminal end of CCK-33 and measured all biologically active molecular forms of CCK except the controversial C-terminal tetrapeptide amide (CCK4). The sensitivity of this assay was 0.6 pmol/g. A second assay (employing antiserum Z-91) measured CCK-LI forms larger than the octapeptide and had a sensitivity of 0.2 pmol/g. Both assays were characterised with endogenous human peptides. Acid (pH 2.5) and neutral extracts (pH 6.5) of human intestine and brain were assessed for CCK-LI concentrations and gel chromatography performed in the presence of 6 mol/l urea to elucidate the various molecular forms. Human cerebral cortex CCK-LI was almost all sulphated CCK-8, but large molecular mass forms were present, particularly in acid extracts, forming about 10% of the whole. Human duodenum and jejunum contained approximately equal amounts of large CCK, CCK 33/39 and of CCK-8. Both intestine and brain possess not yet isolated sulphated molecular forms which eluted between the pure CCK-8 and CCK-33/39 standards. The results obtained from this study indicate that the biosynthesis of CCK in human brain and gut is quantitatively different.

Abstract
The concentration and molecular nature of cholecystokinin-like immunoreactivity (CCK-LI) in extracts of porcine intestinal mucosa were determined using sequence-specific radioimmunoassays. Highest CCK concentrations were measured in duodenal mucosa (258 +/- 60 pmol/g in the distal duodenum) followed by jejunal mucosa (204 +/- 36 pmol/g in the proximal jejunum) and pylorus (51 +/- 9 pmol/g). All other gastrointestinal regions proximal to the pylorus and distal to the jejunum contained less than 20 pmol/g. Pancreas contained less than 1 pmol/g. Gel chromatography in 6 M urea revealed four immunoreactive forms and this was confirmed by reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). The predominant molecular form in acid extracts of duodenal mucosa resembled CCK-33 although high concentrations of the larger CCK form ('CCK-58') and of the form intermediate in size between CCK-33 and CCK-8 were measured. A molecular form resembling CCK-8 was the principal form in neutral extracts of the duodenum.
