The sequences of amino acid residues at the amino and carboxyl terminus and around the reactive sites of the trypsin chymotrypsin inhibitor PCI 3 from the seeds of runner beans (Phaseolus coccineus L.) were estimated by aminopeptidase O and carbosypeptidase A degradation before and after enzymatical modification with trypsin or chymotrypsin. Beginning at the amino terminus the sequences are :Ser-Glu-Ala-Gly-Gln-...,...-Ile-Tyr-Lys-Ser-Gln-(Pro)-...with Lys-Ser as reactive site against trypsin, ...-Asp-Val-Ala-Leu-Ser-(Pro)-...with Leu-Ser as reactive site against alpha-chymotrypsin, and ...-Thr-Arg-Ala-Lys-Phe-Leu as C-terminus. The importance of the serine residue in the reactive sites concerning the specificity of inhibitors is discussed.

The amino acid sequence of the coenzyme-binding site of serine transhydroxymethylase from rabbit liver has been determined. After reduction with NaBH4 and aminoethylation, a first sample of enzyme was digested with thermolysin and a single phosphopyridoxyl peptide was isolated. A second sample of similarly treated enzyme was digested with chymotrypsin and three phosphopyridoxyl peptides clearly originating from a unique coenzyme-binding site were isolated. Sequence analysis of these peptides indicate the following structure: Val-Val-Thr-Thr-His(Pxy)-Thr-Leu. Sequence homologies of the active site of various pyridoxalphosphate enzymes are discussed in terms of a possible catalytic role and of evolution of this class of proteins.

Steady state kinetics of the hydrolysis by trypsin and chymotrypsin of the ethyl esters of the N-acetyl derivatives of glycine, L-alanine, DL-2-aminobutyric acid, L-norvaline, L-valine, L-norleucine and L-leucine were studied at pH 6.6 and 25 degrees C. It is apparent from the second-order rate constants, kcat/Km, app, that there is a significant difference between the specificities of the two enzymes toward substrates with a long side chain, such as the derivatives of norvaline, norleucine and leucine. The carboxylate ion Asp-189 in the specificity pocket of trypsin seems to interfere with the productive binding of substrates containing apolar side chains longer than those of the derivatives of DL-2-aminobutyric acid or L-valine. The basic group of the specific substrates of trypsin, such as that of lysine and arginine derivatives, promotes the binding of the apolar side chain by neutralizing the negative carboxylate ion of Asp-189.

Cyanogen bromide treatment of thymidylate synthetase of Lactobacillus casei, which had been converted to a ternary complex with [2-14c] FdUMP and 5,10-methylene-tetrahydrofolate followed by S-carboxymethylation, yielded at least four visible peptide bands, the largest with a molecular weight of about 13,000, on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate-urea. Identical results were obtained with enzyme that had all four of its cysteinyl residues S-carboxymethylated with iodo [I-14C] acetate in the absence of FdUMP and cofactor. In each case, only the second band from the top of the gel (CN2), with an approximate molecular weight of 10,000= was labeled. Analysis of CN2 that had been labeled with [2-14C] FdUMP and nonradioactive iodoacetate and of that labeled only with iodo[1-14C] acetate revealed that their amino-acid contents were almost identical except for the presence of two S-carboxymethyl (Cm)-cysteinyl residues in the latter peptide and only one in FdUMP-CN2. A nonapeptide was isolated from (Cm)2-CN2 after chymotrypsin digestion that contained the following sequence by dansyl-Edman analysis: Ala-Leu-Pro-Pro-[Cm-Cys]-His-Thr-Leu-Tyr. This peptide was found to be located on the NH2-terminal end of CN2. Automatic sequence analysis of the first 13 residues of (Cm)2-CN2 and of the FdUMP-containing CN2 yielded identical results except for the fifth, or cysteinyl, residue, which could not be identified in the latter peptide. These findings strongly suggest that FdUMP is linked to a cysteinyl residue in thymidylate synthetase that has been inactivated irreversibly by this nucleotide.

The amino acid sequences of two cyanogen bromide fragments from porcine pepsin have been determined. Fragment CB3 which represents the NH2-terminal 80 residues of pepsin was assembled from the peptides purified from proteolytic digests of this fragment using alpha-chymotrypsin, thermolysin, and staphylococcal protease. Two chymotryptic peptides were isolated from the NH2-terminal region of this fragment. One of these contains 2 extra residues, Ala-Leu-, at the NH2 terminus. This peptide is apparently derived from a different cleavage site of pepsinogen in its conversion to pepsin. The second cyanogen bromide fragment, CB4, contains 47 residues. The sequence was established from the peptides resulting from proteolytic digests using alpha-chymotrypsin, alpha-lytic protease, and thermolysin. An isoleucyl residue at position 29 of fragment CB4 appears to be absent in some molecules. This represents a structural variant of pepsin.

1. RNAase (ribonuclease) U2, a purine-specific RNAase, was reduced, aminoethylated and hydrolysed with trypsin, chymotrypsin and thermolysin. On the basis of the analyses of the resulting peptides, the complete amino acid sequence of RNAase U2 was determined, 2. When the sequence was compared with the amino acid sequence of RNAase T1 (EC 3.1.4.8), the following regions were found to be similar in the two enzymes; Tyr-Pro-His-Gln-Tyr (38-42) in RNAase U2 and Tyr-Pro-His-Lys-Tyr (38-42) in RNAase T1, Glu-Phe-Pro-Leu-Val (61-65) in RNAase U2 and Glu-Trp-Pro-Ile-Leu (58-62) in RNAase T1, Asp-Arg-Val-Ile-Tyr-Gln (83-88) in RNAase U2 and Asp-Arg-Val-Phe-Asn (76-81) in RNAase T1 and Val-Thr-His-Thr-Gly-Ala (98-103) in RNAase U2 and Ile-Thr-His-Thr-Gly-Ala (90-95) in RNAase T1. All of the amino acid residues, histidine-40, glutamate-58, arginine-77 and histidine-92, which were found to play a crucial role in the biological activity of RNAase T1, were included in the regions cited here. 3. Detailed evidence for the amino acid sequence of the sequence of the proteins has been deposited as Supplementary Publication SUP 50041 (33 PAGES) AT THE British Library (Lending Division)(formerly the National Lending Library for Science and Technology), Boston Spa, Yorks.

The amino acid sequence for vitamin D-dependent bovine intestinal calcium binding protein has been established. It contains 85 amino acids in a single chain and lacks cysteine, tryptophan, methionine, histidine, and arginine. The NH2-terminal lysine is blocked by an N-acetyl group. Enzymatic digestion with trypsin, chymotrypsin, and pepsin yielded a number of peptides which were purified by two-dimensional high voltage paper electrophoresis. These peptides were examined by end group analysis and sequenced by the dansyl procedure. The absence of tryptophan permitted by a single cleavage of the molecule by N-bromosuccinimide at the tyrosine residue at position 8 and the larger fragment was subjected to automated Edman degradation. By these means, the following sequence was established: N-Ac-Lys-Gln-Ser-Pro-Leu-Glu-Tyr-Ala-Ala-Glu-Lys-Ser-Ile-Gln-Lys-Glu-Ile-Glu-Lys-Gly-Phe-Phe-Lys-Gln-Leu-Leu-Val-Ser-Val-Gln-Lys-Ala-Gly-Asp-Lys-Glu-Ser-Leu-Gln-Pro-Leu-Phe-Thr-Leu-Leu-Lys-Ser-Gly-Pro-Glu-Glu-Asn-Leu-Lys-Glu-Ser-Gln-Asn-Gly-Pro-Asp-Leu-Ls7-Ser-Gly-Pro-Gly-Asn-Asp-Leu-Glu-Glu-Lys-Gly-Thr-Asp-Val-Phe-Ser-Leu-Lys-Gln. Microheterogeneity may exist in the molecule at residue 76 in which position threonine may be replaced by serine. Comparison of the sequence of calcium-binding protein to the "test" sequence of Tufty and Kretsinger ((1975) Science 187, 167-169) proposed to identify E-F hands in muscle proteins suggests that intestinal calcium-binding protein may likewise contain one or possibly two E-F hands which could account for calcium-binding property. Dayhoff alignment scores, however, calculated for calcium-binding protein against nine E-F hands in muscle proteins parvalbumin, troponin and alkali light chains do not indicate that intestinal calcium-binding protein is homologous to these muscle protein chains.

The sequences of the coenzyme-binding peptide of both cytoplasmic and mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferases from sheep liver were determined. The holoenzymes were treated with NaBH4 and digested with chymotrypsin; peptides containing bound pyridoxal phosphate were then isolated. One phosphopyridoxyl peptide was obtained from sheep liver cytoplasmic aspartate aminotransferase. Its sequence was Ser-Ne-(phosphopyridoxyl)-Lys-Asn-Phe. This sequence is identical with that reported for the homologous peptide from pig heart cytoplasmic aspartate aminotransferase. Two phosphopyridoxyl peptides with different RF values were isolated from the sheep liver mitochondrial isoenzyme. They had the same N-terminal amino acid and similar amino acid composition. The mitochondrial phosphopyridoxyl peptide of highest yield and purity had the sequence Ala-Ne-(phosphopyridoxyl)-Lys-Asx-Met-Gly-Leu-Tyr. The sequence of the first four amino acids is identical with that already reported for the phosphopyridoxyl tetrapeptide from the pig heart mitochondrial isoenzyme. The heptapeptide found for the sheep liver mitochondrial isoenzyme closely resembles the corresponding sequence taken from the primary structure of the pig heart cytoplasmic aspartate aminotransferase.

The primary structure of the broad specificity proteinase inhibitor from dog submandibular glands was elucidated. The inhibitor consists of a single polypeptide chain of 117 amino acids which is folded into two domains (heads) connected by a peptide of three amino acid residues. Both domains I and II show a clear structural homology to each other as well as to the single-headed pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitors (Kazal type). The trypsin reactive site (-Cys-Pro-Arg-Leu-His-Glx-Pro-Ile-Cys-) is located in domain I and the chymotrypsin reactive center (-Cys-Thr-Met-Asp-Tyr-Asx-Arg-Pro-Leu-Tyr-Cys-) in domain II, cf. the Figure. The inhibitor is thus double-headed with two independent reactive sites. Whereas head I is responsible for the inhibition of trypsin and plasmin, head II is responsible for the inhibition of chymotrypsin, subtilisin, elastase and probably also Aspergillus oryzae protease and pronase. Remarkably, the structural homology exists also to the single-headed acrosin-trypsin inhibitors from seminal plasma[12] and the Japanese quail inhibitor composed of three domains[13].

The canine submandibular inhibitor is double-headed with two independent reactive sites. Whereas the trypsin-reactive center (-Ala-Cys-Pro-Arg26-Leu-His-) is located in domain I, the chymotrypsin-reactive site (-Met-Cys-Thr-Met78-Asp-Tyr-) is located in domain II. The presence of a methionine residue in this inhibition center is supported by the findings that nitration with tetranitromethane abolishes neither trypsin nor chymotrypsin inhibition, whereas after alkylation of the methione residues, only trypsin inhibition is retained. Remarkably, another inhibitor from microbial sources [10] which also contains a methionine residue in the presumed reactive site also inhibits subtilisin but not chymotrypsin (or trypsin).
