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 amino acid sequence of human C1r A chain was determined, from sequence analysis performed on fragments obtained from C1r autolytic cleavage, cleavage of methionyl bonds, tryptic cleavages at arginine and lysine residues, and cleavages by staphylococcal proteinase. The polypeptide chain has an N-terminal serine residue and contains 446 amino acid residues (Mr 51,200). The sequence data allow chemical characterization of fragments alpha (positions 1-211), beta (positions 212-279) and gamma (positions 280-446) yielded from C1r autolytic cleavage, and identification of the two major cleavage sites generating these fragments. Position 150 of C1r A chain is occupied by a modified amino acid residue that, upon acid hydrolysis, yields erythro-beta-hydroxyaspartic acid, and that is located in a sequence homologous to the beta-hydroxyaspartic acid-containing regions of Factor IX, Factor X, protein C and protein Z. Sequence comparison reveals internal homology between two segments (positions 10-78 and 186-257). Two carbohydrate moieties are attached to the polypeptide chain, both via asparagine residues at positions 108 and 204. Combined with the previously determined sequence of C1r B chain [Arlaud & Gagnon (1983) Biochemistry 22, 1758-1764], these data give the complete sequence of human C1r. 相似文献

Evidence from molecular weight studies and sequence analysis of bovine liver rhodanese indicates that the enzyme is a single polypeptide of molecular weight 35,200, and not a dimer of identical subunits half this size. The rhodanese molecule contains 317 amino acids including 5 methionines, 4 cysteines, and 5 tryptophans. As expected, six fragments were produced by cleavage with cyanogen bromide and these have been aligned in the enzyme with the aid of overlapping tryptic peptides isolated from a [14C] carboxymethylmethionyl rhodanese derivative. The cyanogen bromide fragments account for all of the amino acid residues of the parent rhodanese molecule. Methionine residues are located at positions 72, 112, 214, 217, and 235 in the polypeptide chain and the active site cysteine is at position 251, in the carboxyl-terminal segment of the molecule. 相似文献

Proteolipid protein (PLP), the major integral membrane protein of central nervous system myelin, contains 14 cysteine residues within its 276-residue polypeptide chain. We determined the state of all cysteine residues and localized four of them as free thiols at positions 24, 32, 34, and 168. Four cysteines are connected by disulfide bonds: Cys200-Cys219 and Cys183-Cys227. The remaining six cysteine residues at positions 5, 6, 9, 108, 138, and 140 are modified by long-chain fatty acids, mainly palmitic acid, in thioester linkage. The extreme hydrophobicity of PLP can therefore be explained by two structural features: a composition of approximately 50% apolar amino acid residues and a high degree of fatty acid acylation. A differential fluorescent-labeling technique was developed for the structural studies: the cysteine residues belonging to one of the three states were derivatized by N-(iodoacetylaminoethyl)-5-naphthylamine-1-sulfonic acid (I-AEDANS) either directly (a), after thioester cleavage with hydroxylamine (b), or after disulfide cleavage with dithiothreitol (c). The protein was then proteolytically digested with thermolysin, and the labeled peptides were isolated by reversed-phase HPLC followed by sequence analysis. The results were further confirmed by determination of the fatty acid to protein stoichiometry. The structural data not only demand the revision of our concept of the membrane topology of PLP but will also promote more sophisticated studies on the mechanism of myelination and new functions of PLP. 相似文献

Complete amino acid sequence of plastocyanin from a green alga, Enteromorpha prolifera 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

The complete amino acid sequence of the plastocyanin from the green alga Enteromorpha prolifera has been determined by Edman degradation of the intact molecule and fragments produced by enzymatic cleavage of the polypeptide chain with chymotrypsin, Staphylococcus aureus protease, proline-specific endopeptidase, Lys-C endopeptidase and trypsin. The molecule consists of 98 amino acid residues with a calculated relative molecular mass of 10103. The amino acid sequence of E. prolifera plastocyanin shows a high degree of homology with those plastocyanins from other algae and higher plants. In particular, the four residues which are copper ligands in other plastocyanins and in the bacterial electron transport protein azurin (two histidines, one cysteine and one methionine) are conserved. Five out of the six acidic amino acid side-chains which create an 'acidic patch' on the surface of plastocyanin from Populus nigra var. italica [Colman, P. M. et al. (1978) Nature (Lond.) 272, 319-324] are conserved in the amino acid sequence of E. prolifera plastocyanin. 相似文献

The complete amino acids sequence of human complex-forming glycoprotein heterogeneous in charge (protein HC) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
C Lopez A Grubb F Soriano E Mendez 《Biochemical and biophysical research communications》1981,103(3):919-925
The complete amino acid sequence of human protein HC isolated from the urine of a single individual (JL) was determined. The polypeptide chain contained 181 residues, had a calculated molecular weight of 20,435 and contained 3 cysteine residues at positions 34, 70 and 167. An intrachain disulfide bridge was formed by residues 70 and 167. No variation of the amino acid sequence of protein HC was found and can therefore not explain the charge heterogeneity of protein HC in a given individual. The amino acid sequence of protein HC was almost identical to the one reported for human α1-microglobulin but contained 14 additional residues. 相似文献

Complete amino acid sequence of the catalytic chain of human complement subcomponent C1-r 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
The amino acid sequence of human C1-r b chain hs been determined, from sequence analysis performed on fragments obtained by CNBr cleavage, dilute acid hydrolysis, tryptic cleavage of the succinylated protein, and subcleavages by staphylococcal protease. The polypeptide chain contains 242 amino acids (Mr 27 096), and the sequence shows strong homology with other mammalian serine proteases. The histidine, aspartic acid, and serine residues of the active site (His-57, Asp-102, and Ser-195 in bovine chymotrypsinogen) are located at positions 39, 94, and 191, respectively. The chain which lacks the "histidine-loop" disulfide bridge, contains five half-cystine residues, of which four (positions 157-176 and 187-217) are homologous to residues involved in disulfide bonds generally conserved in serine proteases, whereas the half-cystine residue at position 114 is likely to be involved in the single disulfide bridge connecting the catalytic b chain to the n-terminal a chain. Two carbohydrate moieties are attached to the polypeptide chain, both via asparagine residues at positions 51 and 118. 相似文献

From the inserts of two recombinant plasmids isolated from a murine liver cDNA library, the nucleotide sequence coding for the C3 alpha chain was obtained and the corresponding amino acid sequence was derived. The alpha chain portion of the mRNA is 2979 nucleotides long, specifying a polypeptide of 993 amino acids. The molecular weight of the alpha chain, in the absence of carbohydrate, was calculated from the sequence data to be 112,933. Two possible carbohydrate attachment sites were predicted at residues 269 (Asn) and 947 (Asn). In addition, the positions for two putative factor I cleavage sites were predicted from a comparison with the cleavage sites in the human C3 alpha chain. The C3 alpha chain contains 24 cysteine residues, 10 of these clustered in the C-terminal 175 amino acids of the alpha chain. Together with the accompanying report (Lundwall, A, Wetsel, R.A., Domdey, H., Tack, B.F., and Fey, G.H. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 13851-13856), this study completes the nucleotide and amino acid structure of the murine precursor prepro-C3 molecule. 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 method has been developed for specific enzymic cleavage of polypeptides at the N-terminal side of modified cysteine residues. Lysine residues are blocked by trifluoroacetylation and cysteine residues subsequently converted to the 2-aminoethyl derivatives. Digestion of the modified polypeptide with the lysine-specific protease from Armillaria mellea (patented by Walton et al., 1972) occurs only at 2-aminoethylcysteine residues. With the beta chain of human haemoglobin, which contains 2 cysteine and 11 lysine residues, cleavage was observed at both modified cysteines but at none of the lysines. In the case of a polypeptide from bee venom which contains 4 half-cystine and 5 lysine residues, cleavage occurred at only 2 of the modified cysteines and also at 2 lysine residues. The pattern of cleavage in the latter case can be interpreted in terms of the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide. 相似文献

A thermolytic hydrolysis of maleinated fragment F1 has been performed, resulted in isolation of 44 peptides; their complete amino acid sequence has been determined. Non-overlapping thermolytic peptides of fragment F1 involve 178 amino acid residues, which comprises about 71% of its amino acid sequence. Also, the cleavage and structural investigation of some tryptophan-containing peptides obtained from the limited trypsinolysis of fragment F1 were carried out; reconstitution of the polypeptide chain of the fragment is completed. The cyanogen bromide cleavage of carboxymethylated cytochrome P-450 was achieved and 17 peptides, comprising almost the whole polypeptide chain of the protein molecule (91%), was isolated. To investigate structure of the cyanogen bromide peptides, we hydrolysed them at tryptophan residues with trypsin, chymotrypsin, proteinase from Staphylococcus aureus, and BNPS-skatole. The data obtained and those published earlier led to the complete primary structure of the cholesterol-hydroxylating cytochrome P-450. The proteins polypeptide chain consists of 481 amino acid residues and has the precise molecular mass 56 407.7. 相似文献

The complete amino acid sequence of one of the major wheat protein iso-inhibitors of α-amylase was determined. The sequence was deduced from analysis of fragments and peptides derived from the protein by cleavage with cyanogen bromide and by digestion with trypsin, chymotrypsin, thermolysin and the Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease. The molecule consists of a single polypeptide chain of 123 residues. Both serine and alanine were found in position 65, and further minor examples of microheterogeneity were observed in four other residues. 相似文献

The complete amino acid sequence of the [2Fe-2S] ferredoxin from the saccharolytic anaerobe Clostridium pasteurianum has been determined by automated Edman degradation of the whole protein and of peptides obtained by tryptic and by staphylococcal protease digestion. The polypeptide chain consists of 102 amino acids, including 5 cysteine residues in positions 11, 14, 24, 56, and 60. The sequence has been analyzed for hydrophilicity and for secondary structure predictions. In its native state the protein is a dimer, each subunit containing one [2Fe-2S] cluster, and it has a molecular weight of 23,174, including the four iron and inorganic sulfur atoms. The extinction coefficient of the native protein is 19,400 M-1 cm-1 at 463 nm. The positions of the cysteine residues, four of which are most probably the ligands of the [2Fe-2S] cluster, on the polypeptide chain of this protein are very different from those found in other [2Fe-2S] proteins, and in other ferredoxins in general. In addition, whole sequence comparisons of the [2Fe-2S] ferredoxin from C. pasteurianum with a number of other ferredoxins did not reveal any significant homologies. The likely occurrence of several phylogenetically unrelated ferredoxin families is discussed in the light of these observations. 相似文献

An amino acid sequence is proposed for the cytochrome c4 from the bacterium Azotobacter vinelandii strain OP. It is a single polypeptide chain of 190 residues, with two sets of haem-attachment cysteine residues at positions 14/17 and 119/122. Proteins with similar sequences are also present in denitrifying pseudomonads. There is similarity in sequence between the two halves of the cytochrome c4 molecule, and each half also shows similarity to the sequences of certain monohaem cytochromes c isolated from organisms that are not obviously closely related to A. vinelandii. Detailed evidence for the amino acid sequence of the protein has been deposited as Supplementary Publication SUP 50125 (17 pages) at the British Library Lending Division, Boston Spa, West Yorkshire LS23 7BQ, U.K., from whom copies are available on prepayment. 相似文献

The amino acid sequence of Mucor pusillus aspartic proteinase was determined by analysis of fragments obtained from cleavage of the enzyme by CNBr and limited tryptic digestion. The proteinase is a single polypeptide chain protein containing 361 amino acid residues, cross-linked by two disulfide bonds. A sugar moiety composed of two GlcNAc residues and four neutral sugar residues is asparagine-linked to the chain. The sequence of M. pusillus proteinase is highly homologous with the M. miehei proteinase (83% identity). The homology with other aspartic proteinases is low (22-24%) and indicates that the Mucor proteinases diverged at an early evolutionary phase. The most conservative regions of the molecule are those involved in catalysis and forming the binding cleft and the core region of the molecule. 相似文献

Using as substrates a series of chimeric proteins containing various fragments of the hepatitis C virus precursor polyprotein between Escherichia coli maltose binding protein and dihydrofolate reductase, we analyzed the substrate requirements of hepatitis C viral serine proteinase (Cpro-2) for intermolecular polypeptide cleavage in E. coli. Cpro-2-dependent substrate cleavage was observed in E. coli cells simultaneously transformed with expression plasmids for the Cpro-2 molecule and substrate protein. The cleavage sites were estimated by determining the amino (N)-terminal amino acid sequences of dihydrofolate reductase-fused processed products purified partially by affinity chromatography from the lysates, indicating that cleavage occurred at sites identical to those observed in eukaryotic cells. Mutation analysis using the chimeric substrate indicated that the presence of cysteine and small uncharged residues at positions P1 and P1', respectively, of the putative cleavage site is necessary for cleavage and that acidic residues in the region upstream of the cleavage site are required for efficient cleavage. 相似文献

The amino acid sequence of subunit A of the potato chymotryptic inhibitor I was determined. The sequence was deduced from analysis of fragments and peptides derived from the protein by cleavage with cyanogen bromide, N-bromosuccinimide and dilute acid, and by digestion with trypsin, thermolysin, pepsin and papain. The molecule consists of a single polypeptide chain of 84 residues, which contains two homologous regions each of 13 amino acids. The protein does not appear to be homologous with any other known proteinase inhibitors. 相似文献

Structural studies on rat prostatic binding protein. The primary structure of component C2 from subunit S 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The amino acid sequence of component C2, the polypeptide specific for subunit S of prostatic binding protein, the major secretory glycoprotein of the rat ventral prostate, has been determined. Its structure was established using the manual Edman degradation on the most relevant fragments obtained by enzymatic digestion of the S-carboxamidomethylated component C2 and the native subunit S and by chemical cleavage of the remaining undigestible 'cores' with cyanogen bromide. Component C2 contains 92 amino acids corresponding to a molecular weight of 10619. It is a slightly acidic polypeptide in which the acidic and basic residues are unevenly distributed. The N terminus is blocked and three cysteine residues are almost evenly distributed over the peptide chain. A highly polar region is found in position 23-34 and two hydrophobic segments are located in the C-terminal part of the molecule. Component C2 is compared with component C1 of subunit F and their high sequence homology reveals an evolutionary relationship. 相似文献

Complete amino acid sequence of tenebrosin-C, a cardiac stimulatory and haemolytic protein from the sea anemone Actinia tenebrosa 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The complete amino acid sequence of the cardiac stimulatory and haemolytic protein tenebrosin-C, from the Australian sea anemone Actinia tenebrosa, has been determined by Edman degradation of the intact molecule and fragments produced by treatment of the polypeptide chain with cyanogen bromide and enzymatic cleavage with endoproteinase Asp-N, thermolysin and trypsin. The molecule is a single-chain polypeptide consisting of 179 amino acid residues with a calculated molecular mass of 19,797 Da. Tenebrosin-C shows a high degree of amino acid sequence similarity (63%) with Stoichactis helianthus cytolysin III [Blumenthal, K. M. and Kem, W. R. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 5574-5581] and is identical to a partial sequence (90 residues) reported for equinatoxin, a cardiostimulatory and haemolytic protein isolated from the European sea anemone Actinia equina [Ferlan, I. and Jackson, K. (1983) Toxicon Suppl. 3, 141-144]. No amino acid sequence similarity was detected between tenebrosin-C and other protein sequences stored in available databases. The predicted secondary structure of tenebrosin-C suggests that it is a compact, highly structured molecule. 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
