Abstract
Peptide metabolism is a complex process that involves many proteins working in concert. Mass spectrometry–based global peptide profiling of mice lacking dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) identified endogenous DPP4 substrates and revealed an unrecognized pathway during proline peptide catabolism that interlinks aminopeptidase and DPP4 activities. Together, these studies elucidate specific aspects of DPP4-regulated metabolism and, more generally, highlight the utility of global peptide profiling for studying peptide metabolism in vivo.

Contributions
D.M.T. and A.S. conceived and designed the experiments. D.M.T., W.M.N., J.M.N. and W.S.L. carried out the mass spectrometry experiments and analyzed the data. D.M.T. carried out all the remaining experiments (in vitro DPP4 assays and brush border membrane experiments) and analyzed all the data. R.R., L.G.-R., R.P. and W.A. produced the Anpep−/− Enpep−/− mice. The manuscript was written by D.M.T. and A.S.
