Protein S21 was digested with trypsin before and after maleylation, with chymotrypsin, thermolysin and a glutamyl-specific protease. The resulting peptides were isolated and their amino acid composition determined. The amino acid sequences of selected peptides were determined either by the manual subtractive Edman method or by the dansyl-Edman procedure. Additional information was obtained from the automatic Edman degradation of the whole protein in a modified Sequenator. All these results combined yielded the sequence shown in Fig. 1. Protein S21 consists of 70 amino acids (Asp1,Asn2,Thr3,Ser2,Glu8,Pro3,Gly1,Ala9,Val6,Cys1,Ile1,Leu4,Tyr2,Phe3,His1,Lys9 and Arg14). It contains neither Met nor Trp. The molecular weight amounts to 8359. Clustering of basic amino acids is observed in five regions. We also include a prediction for regions with alpha-helices and with beta-sheets.

The complete amino acid sequence of ribosomal protein L34 has been established by improved micro techniques with 3 mg of the lyophilized protein. The protein was digested with trypsin, thermolysin and chymotrypsin and the resulting peptides were isolated from fingerprints performed on cellulose thin-layer plates. The amino acid sequences of the peptides were determined by the combined micro dansyl-Edman technique using 5 - 10 nmol per sample. Aspartic acid and glutamic acid were distinguished from their amides by use of the color reaction of ninhydrin with the respective amino acid phenylthiohydantoins.

The complete amino acid sequence of phosphlipase A2 (EC 3.1.1.4) from horse pancreas was determined. The protein controls of a single polypeptide chain of 125 amino acids and has a molecular weight of 13,927. The chain is crosslinked by seven disulfide bridges. The sequence was determined by automated Edman degradation of the intact protein and several of the large peptide fragments. Smaller peptides were analyzed by manual Edman degradation. Fragmentation of the peptide chain was accomplished by enzymatic digestion with trypsin, chymotrypsin, and thermolysin. The final overlap was found by digestion of the polypeptide with a staphylococcal protease specific for glutamoyl bonds. Phospholipase A2 from horse pancreas shows homology to snake venom phospholipases A2 and to the enzyme from porcine pancreas, provided that the published amino acid sequence of the porcine phospholipase A2 is revised to some extent.

The alfalfa mosaic virus protein was submitted to the action of cyanogen bromide. Four peptides were isolated. Study of these peptides allowed us to determine the order. Then protein was submitted, after S-carboxymethylation or S-aminoethylation, to the action of different proteolytic enzymes: trypsin, chymotrypsin, thermolysin and papain. The peptides issued from these different hydrolysis were separated on Dowex 50 X4 and Dowex 1 X2, and their amino acid composition was determined. The use of classical methods of sequence determination, of mass spectrometry and for one case the use of a sequencer, lead to the obtention of the primary structure of all the tryptic peptides. The studies of chymotryptic, thermolytic and papainic hydrolysates, and of cyanogen bromide rupture, allowed us to isolate the overlapping peptides which were necessary for the reconstitution of the complete proteic chain.

By combinations of selective chemical cleavage (cyanogen bromide), selective enzymatic cleavage (trypsin, thermolysin), and random cleavage (partial acid hydrolysis) a series of disulfide-containing peptides have been isolated from ovine lutropin beta subunit. These peptides suggest six disulfide linkages between half-cystine residues in positions 23-72, 26-110, 93-100, 34-88, 9-90, and 38-57. The latter pair was placed by elimination of other possibilities. The first three pairs are in agreement with a report by Chung, D., Sairam, M. R. and Li, C. H. (1975) Int. J. Peptide Protein Res. 7, 487-493; the pair 93-100 has also been detected by Reeve, J. R., Cheng, K. W. and Pierce, J. G. (1975) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 67, 149-155, using partial reduction and alkylation. In an attempt to improve the efficiency of enzymatic attack, a preliminary partial reduction as per Reeve et al. [16] was done. In this instance a peptide suggesting an additional disulfide linkage between half-cystines 23-26 was obtained as well as peptides consistent with the 23-72 and 26-110 placements. This was interpreted as an artifactual opening and recombining during partial reduction-reoxidation to produce the 23-26 linkage. The placement of three disulfide bonds (34-88, 9-90, and 38-57) is in disagreement with the pairings Chung et al. [15] suggest for these six half-cystine residues. Six reasons for uncertainty in the placement of disulfide bonds are discussed. It is concluded the definitive placement of the disputed three disulfide bonds in ovine lutropin beta subunit remains an open question.

Several proteolytic enzymes have been studied with regard to their ability to induce DNA synthesis and cell proliferation in resting chick embryo fibroblasts. Of the enzymes examined, thrombin, bromelin, and trypsin exhibit potent mitogenic activity, elastase has significant but less marked activity, whereas thermolysin, papain, and alpha-protease are inactive. The enzymes were also tested for their ability to induce morphological change or to remove two iodinatable proteins of 250,000 and 205,000 daltons. Although the larger protein is removed by some but not all of the proteases examined, every protease tested removed the smaller cell surface proteins; however, loss of the smaller protein does correlate with the reduction of both cytoplasmic spreading and cell-cell interactions observed after protease treatment. A secondary, later event of migration of cells into clumps is observed in those instances when protease treatment did not result in a loss of the 250k protein. Arole for each of these proteins in the processes of cellular adhesion is discussed.

Nuclear basic protein from ejaculated human spermatozoa were labelled with iodo[14C1]acetic acid and fractionated by ion-exchange chromatography into several pools (named A-K). Gel electrophoresis indicated that the minor protamine components, were present in pool D and that, of the major protamine components, component 1 (pools E, F, G, H) was well separated from the unresolved mixture of component 2 and component 3 (pools I, J, K). Pools G and J were free of other contaminants. Pools D, G, and J produced different radioactive peptides on digestion with trypsin and with thermolysin, and also had quite distinct amino acid compositions. This suggests that the heterogeneity of human protamines is caused by differences in amino acid sequence. Major component 1 also seems to be heterogenous, since it was found in two distinct peaks (pools E and G), but post-translational modification as a cause of the two types of component 1 has not been ruled out. Although all the human protamine components are similar to other mammalian protamines in containing half-cysteine and tyrosine, they also have unique common features such as high histidine and high glutamic acid contents.

Myoglobin isolated from skeletal muscle of the platypus contains 153 amino acid residues. The complete amino acid sequence has been determined following cleavage with cyanogen bromide and further digestion of the four fragments with trypsin, chymotrypsin, pepsin and thermolysin. Sequences of the purified peptides were determined by the dansyl-Edman procedure. The amino acid sequence showed 25 differences from human myoglobin and 24 from kangaroo myoglobin. Amino acid sequences in myoglobins are more conserved than sequences in the alpha- and beta-globin chains, and platypus myoglobin shows a similar number of variations in sequence to kangaroo myoglobin when compared with myoglobin of other species. The date of divergence of the platypus from other mammals was estimated at 102 +/- 31 million years, based on the number of amino acid differences between species and allowing for mutations during the evolutionary period. This estimate differs widely from the estimate given by similar treatment of the alpha- and beta-chain sequences and a constant rate of mutation of globin chains is not supported.

The antitumor protein actinoxanthin exhibits high inhibitory activity against a number of gram-positive bacteria and some strains of transplantable leucoses and related tumors. Actinoxanthin was shown to consist of a single polypeptide chain crosslinked by two disulfide bonds and to contain 107 amino acid residues. Reduced and alkylated actinoxanthin was digested with chymotrypsin, thermolysin and trypsin. Based on the sequence analysis of fragments so obtained the complete amino acid sequence and the location of disulfide bonds of actinoxanthin has been proposed. The high degree homology of some regions of actinoxanthin and the antitumor protein neocarzinostatin have been revealed.

The amino acid sequence of the parvalbumin II of the pike is reported. The protein has a molecular weight of 11 435. It consists of a single polypeptide chain of 107 amino acid residues with an acetyl group blocking the N-terminus and an alanine residue at the C-terminus. The molecule has been enzymically cleaved by trypsin, thermolysin and by the protease of the Staphylococcus aureus strain V8. Chemical cleavages make use of the CNBr reaction and of the sulfocyanoethylation method. The comparison of this amino acid sequence with that of the parvalbumin III of the pike indicates that these two homologous proteins belong respectively to two different subgroups derived from an early gene duplication of an ancestral gene at least prior to the differentiation of the Osteichthyes.
