We have determined the complete amino acid sequence of a 20K Da COOH-terminal fragment of porcine NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase. The 20K Da fragment is probably produced by a proteolytic cleavage of the intact protein in porcine liver microsomes, and since the cleavage does not affect enzymatic activity, the fragment has been studied as a distinct domain. The sequence comprises 175 amino acids including three cysteine residues, one of which has been previously identified as protected by NADPH from S-carboxymethylation. The NADPH-protected cysteine lies in a stretch of 12 residues with partial homology to glutathione reductase, and is adjacent to a hydrophobic region containing a glycine-rich stretch homologous to other FAD-containing proteins. The predicted secondary structure over this entire region is beta-sheet/beta-turn/beta-sheet/alpha-helix/beta-sheet/beta-turn/alpha-h elix corresponding to hydrophobic residues 21-28/glycine-rich residues 29-33/residues 34-38/residues 39-54/residues 56-61/NADPH-protected cysteine residues 62-78/residues 71-82. It is possible that the 20K Da domain provided a significant portion of the sequence responsible for binding FAD and NADPH in the intact enzyme. This data provides a basis for further active site studies. 相似文献

The amino acid sequence of the major ferredoxin component isolated from a dinoflagellate, Peridinium bipes, was completely determined. Staphylococcus aureus V8 proteolytic, tryptic and chymotryptic peptides of Cm-ferredoxin were prepared and sequenced. The sequence was Phe-Lys-Val-Thr-Leu-Asp-Thr-Pro-Asp-Gly-Lys-Lys-Ser-Phe-Glu-Cys- Pro-Gly-Asp-Ser-Tyr-Ile-Leu-Asp-Lys-Ala-Glu-Glu-Glu-Gly-Leu-Glu-Leu-Pro- Tyr-Ser - Cys-Arg-Ala-Gly-Ser-Cys-Ser-Ser-Cys-Ala-Gly-Lys-Val-Leu-Thr-Gly-Ser-Ile- Asp-Gln - Ser-Asp-Gln-Ala-Phe-Leu-Asp-Asp-Asp-Gln-Gly-Gly-Asp-Gly-Tyr-Cys-Leu-Thr- Cys-Val - Thr-Tyr-Pro-Thr-Ser-Asp-Val-Thr-Ile-Lys-Thr-His-Cys-Glu-Ser-Glu-Leu. It was composed of 93 amino acid residues with 7 cysteine residues, the highest number found among the chloroplast-type ferredoxins so far sequenced. A cysteine residue was found for the first time at the 89th position in a chloroplast-type ferredoxin. Calculation of the numbers of amino acid differences among chloroplast-type ferredoxins indicates that the Peridinium ferredoxin is far divergent not only from higher plant ferredoxins but also from blue-green algal ferredoxins. 相似文献

The complete amino acid sequence of yeast phosphoglycerate kinase, comprising 415 residues, was determined. The sequence of residues 1-173 was deduced mainly from nucleotide sequence analysis of a series of overlapping fragments derived from the relevant portion of a 2.95-kilobase endonuclease-HindIII-digest fragment containing the yeast phosphoglycerate kinase gene. The sequence of residues 174-415 was deduced mainly from amino acid sequence analysis of three CNBr-cleavage fragments, and from peptides derived from these fragments after digestion by a number of proteolytic enzymes. Cleavage at the two tryptophan residues with o-iodosobenzoic acid was also used to isolate fragments suitable for amino acid sequence analysis. Determination of the complete sequence now allows a detailed interpretation of the existing high-resolution X-ray-crystallographic structure. The sequence -Ile-Ile-Gly-Gly-Gly- occurs twice in distant parts of the linear sequence (residues 232-236 and 367-371). Both these regions contribute to the nucleoside phosphate-binding site. A comparison of the sequence of yeast phosphoglycerate kinase reported here with the sequences of phosphoglycerate kinase from horse muscle and human erythrocytes shows that the yeast enzyme is 64% identical with the mammalian enzymes. The yeast has strikingly fewer methionine, cysteine and tryptophan residues. 相似文献

The primary structure of the cytotoxin alpha-sarcin 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The primary structure of the cytotoxin alpha-sarcin was determined. Eighteen of the 19 tryptic peptides were purified; the other peptide has arginine only. The complete sequence of 17 of the peptides was determined; the sequence of the remaining peptide was determined in part. The sequence of the 39 NH2-terminal residues was obtained by automated Edman degradation. The carboxyl-terminal amino acids were identified after carboxypeptidase treatment. The assignment of the amino acids in the tryptic peptides was confirmed and their alignment established from the sequence of the secondary tryptic peptides obtained after cleavage of citraconylated alpha-sarcin, from the sequence of a 2-(2-nitrophenylsulfenyl)-3-methyl-3'-bromoindolenine peptide, from the sequence of a chymotryptic peptide, and from the sequence of a peptide obtained with Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease. alpha-Sarcin contains 150 amino acid residues; the molecular weight is 16,987. There are disulfide bridges between cysteine residues at positions 6 and 148 and between residues 76 and 132. 相似文献

The response of smooth muscle cells to IGF-I requires ligand occupancy of the alphaVbeta3 integrin. We have shown that vitronectin (Vn) is required for IGF-I-stimulated migration or proliferation, whereas the anti-alphaVbeta3 monoclonal antibody, LM609, which inhibits ligand binding, blocks responsiveness of these cells to IGF-I. The amino acids 177-184 ((177)CYDMKTTC(184)) within the extracellular domain of beta3 have been proposed to confer the ligand specificity of alphaVbeta3; therefore, we hypothesized that ligand binding to the 177-184 cysteine loop of beta3 may be an important regulator of the cross talk between alphaVbeta3 and IGF-I in SMCs. Here we demonstrate that blocking ligand binding to a specific amino acid sequence within the beta3 subunit of alphaVbeta3 (i.e. amino acids 177-184) blocked Vn binding to the beta3 subunit of alphaVbeta3 and correspondingly beta3 phosphorylation was decreased. In the presence of this antibody, IGF-I-stimulated Shc phosphorylation and ERK 1/2 activation were impaired, and this was associated with an inhibition in the ability of IGF-I to stimulate an increase in migration or proliferation. Furthermore, in cells expressing a mutated form of beta3 in which three critical residues within the 177-184 sequence were altered beta3 phosphorylation was decreased. This was associated with a loss of IGF-I-stimulated Shc phosphorylation and impaired smooth muscle cell proliferation in response to IGF-I. In conclusion, we have demonstrated that the 177-184 sequence of beta3 is necessary for Vn binding to alphaVbeta3 and that ligand occupancy of this site is necessary for an optimal response of smooth muscle cells to IGF-I. 相似文献

The Pseudomonas putida cytochrome P-450 was alkylated with the SH-reagent, 2-bromoacetamido-4-nitrophenol. One out of eight cysteine residues present in the enzyme reacted rapidly while another 3 ~ 4 cysteine residues were gradually alkylated at longer reaction times. The derivative in which the most reactive cysteine residue was labeled with this reagent was hydrolyzed with trypsin and a tryptic peptide isolated. From the amino acid composition and end group analysis of the peptide, the rapidly reacting cysteine residue was shown to be Cys 355. This cysteine residue is probably exposed on the surface and is involved in the dimerization of the enzyme. The amino acid sequence about cysteine 355 shows sequence homology with residues 429–445 of the rat liver cytochrome P-450-LM-2. 相似文献

The complete amino acid sequence of a proteinaceous cysteine proteinase inhibitor from the fruit of avocado (avocado cystatin) is presented. The protein consists of 100 amino acid residues and has a molecular mass of 11,300 Da. Comparison of this sequence with sequences of plant cysteine proteinase inhibitors (phytocystatins), including oryzacystatins I and II from rice seeds, cowpea cystatin, and corn cystatin, showed that the avocado cystatin molecule has 60% and 54% residues identical with the two forms of the rice seed proteins, oryzacystatins I and II, respectively, and 64% and 63% with the cowpea and corn proteins, respectively. The totally conserved sequence, Gln-Val-Val-Ala-Gly, among several of the animal cystatins as well as phytocystatins, is at positions 47-51 in the avocado cystatin molecule. 相似文献

Ficin that had been prepared from the latex of Ficus glabrata by salt fractionation and chromatography on carboxymethylcellulose was completely and irreversibly inhibited with 1,3-dibromo[2-(14)C]acetone and then treated with N-(4-dimethylamino-3,5-dinitrophenyl)maleimide in 6m-guanidinium chloride. After reduction and carboxymethylation of the labelled protein, it was digested with trypsin and alpha-chymotrypsin. Two radioactive peptides and two coloured peptides were isolated chromatographically and their sequences determined. The radioactive peptides revealed the amino acid sequences around the active-site cysteine and histidine residues and showed a high degree of homology with the omino acid sequence around the active-site cysteine and histidine residues in papain. The coloured peptides allowed the amino acid sequence around the buried cysteine residue in ficin to be determined. 相似文献

Prepeptide sequence of cinnamycin (Ro 09-0198): the first structural gene of a duramycin-type lantibiotic 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
The tetracyclic polypeptide antibiotic cinnamycin (Ro 90-0198) belongs to the duramycin-type lantibiotics and contains the unusual amino acids threo-3-methyl-lanthionine, meso-lanthionine, lysinoalanine and 3-hydroxyaspartic acid. Its structural gene, referred to as cinA, has been identified on isolated chromosomal DNA of the Ro 09-0198-producing strain Streptoverticillium griseoverticillatum via a 39-residue oligonucleotide probe derived from fragment 7-19 of the hypothetical prolantibiotic sequence CRQSCSFGPFTFVCDGNTK. This propeptide part was then found within an open reading frame of 77 amino acids. In contrast to the nisin-type prelantibiotics, this first duramycin-type prelantibiotic has an unusually long leader sequence of 58 amino acids. it also differs in the processing site and the direction of the formation of the threo-3-methyl-lanthionine bridges is from N-terminal cysteine to C-terminal dehydrated threonine residues, whereas the meso-lanthionine and lysinoalanine bridges are formed by addition reactions from C-terminal cysteine or lysine to N-terminal dehyrated serine residues. 相似文献

Molecular cloning of cDNA for rat cathepsin C. Cathepsin C, a cysteine proteinase with an extremely long propeptide 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A cDNA for rat cathepsin C (dipeptidylaminopeptidase I) was isolated. The deduced amino acid sequence of cathepsin C comprises 462 amino acid residues: 28 NH2-terminal residues corresponding to the signal peptide, 201 residues corresponding to the propeptide, and 233 COOH-terminal residues corresponding to the mature enzyme region. Four potential glycosylation sites were found, three located in the propeptide region, and one in the mature enzyme region. The amino acid sequence of mature cathepsin C has 39.5% identity to that of cathepsin H, 35.1% to that of cathepsin L, 30.1% to that of cathepsin B, and 33.3% to that of papain. Cathepsin C, therefore, is a member of the papain family, although its propeptide region is much longer than those of other cysteine proteinases and shows no significant amino acid sequence similarity to any other cysteine proteinase. 相似文献

The amino acid sequence of the ferredoxin from Sambucus nigra consists of a single polypeptide chain of 97 amino acid residues, 5 of which are cysteine. The positions of the 4 cysteine residues which bind the iron atoms of the active centre are identical to those of other ferredoxins. Due to difficulties of obtaining pure protein, residues 87–90 have only been identified from the amino acid analysis of peptide C 10 and by homology with other higher plant ferredoxins. 相似文献

A cDNA encoding a serine proteinase homologue of kuruma shrimp (Marsupenaeus japonicus) was cloned. The 1257 bp cDNA encodes a 339 amino acid putative peptide, with a signal sequence of 16 amino acid residues. The deduced amino acid sequence is 42-67% similar to the immune-related serine proteinases and serine proteinase homologues of arthropods. It contains catalytic triad residues in the putative catalytic domain except for one substitution of Ser by a Gly residue. The six cysteine residues that form three disulphide bridges in most serine proteinases were conserved. The M. japonicus serine proteinase homologue was mainly expressed in haemocytes, in which expression dramatically increased after 3 days feeding with peptidoglycan at 0.2 mg kg(-1) shrimp body weight per day. 相似文献

The complete amino acid sequence of the cytotoxin mitogillin has been determined by sequencing the intact chain and peptide fragments produced by cleavage at methionyl, arginyl, lysyl, and tryptophanyl residues and at one aspartic acid-proline bond. The protein consists of 149 amino acid residues with alanine at the NH2 terminus and histidine at the COOH terminus. The calculated Mr of the native mitogillin was 16 867. The native molecule presents two disulfide bridges, one between cysteine residues at positions 5 and 147 and another one between cysteine residues at positions 75 and 131. The amino acid sequence of mitogillin shows 86% homology with another cytotoxic protein called alpha-sarcin. 相似文献

The complete amino acid sequence of the single polypeptide chain of cytotoxin restrictocin has been determined. Its structure was established by automated Edman degradation of the intact molecule reduced and [14C]carboxymethylated and of fragments obtained by chemical cleavage of the protein with cyanogen bromide and BNPS-skatole and by enzymatic cleavage of the polypeptide chain with trypsin. The molecule consists of 149 amino acid residues with a calculated relative molecular mass of 16836. The protein presents two disulfide bridges, one between cysteine residues at positions 5 and 147 and the other one formed by cysteine residues at positions 75 and 131. The amino acid sequence of restrictocin shows a high degree of homology (86%) with that of the cytotoxin named alpha-sarcin. 相似文献

We have cloned a DNA complementary to the messenger RNA encoding the precursor of ornithine transcarbamylase from rat liver. This complementary DNA contains the entire protein coding region of 1062 nucleotides and 86 nucleotides of 5'- and 298 nucleotides of 3'-untranslated sequences. The predicted amino acid sequence has been confirmed by extensive protein sequence data. The mature rat enzyme contains the same number of amino acid residues (322) as the human enzyme and their amino acid sequences are 93% homologous. The rat and human amino-terminal leader sequences of 32 amino acids, on the other hand, are only 69% homologous. The rat leader contains no acidic and seven basic residues compared to four basic residues found in the human leader. There is complete sequence homology (residues 58-62) among the ornithine and aspartate transcarbamylases from E. coli and the rat and human ornithine transcarbamylases at the carbamyl phosphate binding site. Finally, a cysteine containing hexapeptide (residues 268-273), the putative ornithine binding site in Streptococcus faecalis, Streptococcus faecium, and bovine transcarbamylases, is completely conserved among the two E. coli and the two mammalian transcarbamylases. 相似文献

Oxidative addition of a nitric oxide (NO) molecule to the thiol group of cysteine residues is a physiologically important post-translational modification that has been implicated in several metabolic and pathophysiological events. Our previous studies have indicated that S-nitrosylation can result in the disruption of the endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) dimer. It has been suggested that for S-nitrosylation to occur, the cysteine residue must be flanked by hydrophilic residues either in the primary structure or in the spatial proximity through appropriate conformation. However, this hypothesis has not been confirmed. Thus, the objective of this study was to determine if the nature of the amino acid residues that flank the cysteine in the primary structure has a significant effect on the rate and/or specificity of S-nitrosylation. To accomplish this, we utilized several model peptides based on the eNOS protein sequence. Some of these peptides contained point mutations to allow for different combinations of amino acid properties (acidic, basic, and hydrophobic) around the cysteine residue. To ensure that the results obtained were not dependent on the nitrosylation procedure, several common S-nitrosylation techniques were used and S-nitrosylation followed by mass spectrometric detection. Our data indicated that all peptides independent of the amino acids surrounding the cysteine residue underwent rapid S-nitrosylation. Thus, there does not appear to be a profound effect of the primary sequence of adjacent amino acid residues on the rate of cysteine S-nitrosylation at least at the peptide levels. Finally, our studies using recombinant human eNOS confirm that Cys98 undergoes S-nitrosylation. Thus, our data validate the importance of Cys98 in regulating eNOS dimerization and activity, and the utility of mass spectroscopy to identify cysteine residues susceptible to S-nitrosoylation. 相似文献

Molecular cloning and immune responsive expression of a novel C-type lectin gene from bay scallop Argopecten irradians 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
C-type lectins are Ca(2+)-dependent carbohydrate-recognition proteins that play crucial roles in innate immunity. The cDNA of C-type lectin (AiCTL1) in the bay scallop Argopecten irradians was cloned by expressed sequence tag (EST) and RACE techniques. The full-length cDNA of AiCTL1 was 660 bp, consisting of a 5'-terminal untranslated region (UTR) of 30 bp and a 3' UTR of 132 bp with a polyadenylation signal sequence AATAAA and a poly(A) tail. The AiCTL1 cDNA encoded a polypeptide of 166 amino acids with a putative signal peptide of 20 amino acid residues and a mature protein of 146 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence of AiCTL1 was highly similar to those of the C-type lectins from other animals and contained a typical carbohydrate-recognition domain (CRD) of 121 residues, which has four conserved disulfide-bonded cysteine residues that define the CRD and two additional cysteine residues at the amino terminus. AiCTL1 mRNA was dominantly expressed in the hemocytes of the bay scallop. The temporal expression of AiCTL1 mRNA in hemocytes was increased by 5.7- and 4.9-fold at 6h after injury and 8h after injection of bacteria, respectively. The structural features, high similarity and expression pattern of AiCTL1 indicate that the gene may be involved in injury healing and the immune response in A. irradians. 相似文献

Lactocin S, a bacteriocin produced by Lactobacillus sake L45, has been purified to homogeneity by ion exchange, hydrophobic interaction and reverse-phase chromatography, and gel filtration. The purification resulted in approximately a 40,000-fold increase in the specific activity of lactocin S and enabled the determination of a major part of the amino acid sequence. Judging from the amino acid composition, lactocin S contained approximately 33 amino acid residues, of which about 50% were the nonpolar amino acids alanine, valine, and leucine. Amino acids were not detected upon direct N-terminal sequencing, indicating that the N-terminal amino acid was blocked. By cyanogen bromide cleavage at an internal methionine, the sequence of the 25 amino acids (including the methionine at the cleavage site) in the C-terminal part of the molecule was determined. The sequence was Met-Glu-Leu-Leu-Pro-Thr-Ala-Ala-Val-Leu-Tyr-Xaa-Asp-Val-Ala-Gly-Xaa-Phe- Lys-Tyr-Xaa-Ala-Lys-His-His, where Xaa represents unidentified residues. It is likely that the unidentified residues are modified forms of cysteine or amino acids associated with cysteine, since two cysteic acids per lactocin S molecule were found upon performic acid oxidation of lactocin S. The sequence was unique when compared to the SWISS-PROT data bank. 相似文献

Calitoxin, a neurotoxic peptide from the sea anemone Calliactis parasitica: amino acid sequence and electrophysiological properties 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
L Cariello A de Santis F Fiore R Piccoli A Spagnuolo L Zanetti A Parente 《Biochemistry》1989,28(6):2484-2489
We have isolated a new toxin, calitoxin (CLX), from the sea anemone Calliactis parasitica whose amino acid sequence differs greatly from that of other sea anemone toxins. The polypeptide chain contains 46 amino acid residues, with a molecular mass of 4886 Da and an isoelectric point at pH 5.4. The amino acid sequence determined by Edman degradation of the reduced, S-carboxymethylated polypeptide chain and tryptic and chymotryptic peptides is Ile-Glu-Cys-Lys-Cys-Glu-Gly-Asp-Ala-Pro-Asp-Leu-Ser-His-Met-Thr-Gly-Thr- Val-Tyr - Phe-Ser-Cys-Lys-Gly-Gly-Asp-Gly-Ser-Trp-Ser-Lys-Cys-Asn-Thr-Tyr-Thr-Ala- Val-Ala - Asp-Cys-Cys-His-Glu-Ala. No cysteine residues were present in the peptide. Similarly to other sea anemone toxins, calitoxin interacts, in crustacean nerve muscle preparations, with axonal and not with muscle membranes, inducing a massive release of neurotransmitter that causes a strong muscle contraction. The low homology of CLX with RP II and ATX II toxins has implications regarding the role played by particular amino acid residues. 相似文献
