The single polypeptide chain of about 460 amino acids of porcine pancreatic lipase (EC 3.1.1.3) has been fragmented into five peptides by cyanogen bromide cleavage [Rovery, M., Bianchetta, J. & Guidoni, A. (1973) Biochim. Biophys. Acta, 328, 391--395]. The sequence of the first three cyanogen bromide peptides (CNI, CNII, CNIII), including a total of 234 amino acids, was fully elucidated. Automatic or manual Edman degradation was performed on the different peptides. Fragmentations of the CN peptides were accomplished by digestions with trypsin (after citraconylation or 1,2-cyclohexanedione treatment), chymotrypsin and Staphylococcus aureus external protease. Hydrolysis of unreduced material by pepsin and thermolysin, performed in order to determine the S-S bridge positions, provided useful overlapping peptides. The glycan moiety of lipase is bound to Asn-166. The non-essential tyrosine specifically blocked by diisopropylphosphorofluoridate is Tyr-49 in a cluster of asparagine and glutamine residues. The existence of a highly hydrophobic sequence (206--217) at the C terminus of the CNII fragment is noteworthy.

Ribosomal proteins S7 from 30S subunits of Escherichia coli strains K and B differ extensively in their aminoacid compositions. The experimental details which led to the determination of the complete primary structures of proteins S7K and S7B are presented. Protein S7K consists of a single polypeptide chain of 177 aminoacids giving a calculated molecular weight of 19, 732, whereas protein S7B has 153 residues which amount to a molecular weight of 17,131. Aminoacid sequences were determined by a combination of automated Edman degradation of the intact proteins in a modified Beckman sequenator and sequencing of peptides obtained by digestion with trypsin. Staphylococcus aureus protease, thermolysin and pepsin, either by solid-phase Edman degradation or by dansyl-Edman degradation. Additional information about the primary structure was derived from peptides resulting from chemical cleavages of the protein by 2-(2-nitrophenyl-sulphenyl)-3-methyl 3' bromoindolenine at its tryptophanyl bonds and by cyanogen bromide at its methionyl bonds leading to large fragments. The mutational event occurring between S7B and S7K was characterized. Protein S7K contains an additional sequence of 24 aminoacids at its C-terminal end. The aminoacid sequence of both proteins S7K and S7B was compared to the published sequences of the other ribosomal proteins of Escherichia coli and predictions for the secondary structure of these proteins were made.

The primary structure of protein L21 from the 50S subunit of Escherichia coli ribosomes has been completely determined by sequencing the peptides obtained by digestion of L21 with trypsin before and after modification of the arginine residues with 1,2-cyclohexanedione, Staphylococcus aureus protease, thermolysin, and pepsin. Automated Edman degradation using a liquid-phase sequenator was carried out on the intact protein as well as on a fragment arising from cleavage with cyanogen bromide. Protein L21 consists of a single polypeptide chain of 103 amino acids of molecular weight 11 565. An estimation of the secondary structure of protein L21 and a comparison with other E. coli ribosomal protein sequences are presented.

The amino acid sequence of a trimethoprim-resistant dihydrofolate reductase (EC 1.5.1.3) specified by the R-plasmid R67 is described. The sequence was deduced from automatic and manual sequence analysis of the intact protein, the fragments produced by cyanogen bromide cleavage, and peptides derived from the largest cyanogen bromide fragment by digestion with trypsin, Staphylococcus aureus V8 proteus, chymotrypsin, and Lysobacter enzymogenes alpha-lytic protease. The complete sequence comprises 78 residues in a single polypeptide chain of molecular weight 8444. No evidence of heterogeneity was obtained, indicating that all subunits of the native enzyme are identical. Comparison of the sequence with that of all known dihydrofolate reductases shows no significant sequence homology.

Carrageenan or thrombin-induced aggregation of plasma-free rabbit platelets was inhibited by calcium and magnesium chelating agents, by N-ethylmaleimide and by drugs that increase the intra-cellular cyclic AMP content. Inhibitors of prostaglandin (PG) synthetase were only partially active, and had to be present in the platelet suspension to inhibit aggregation. Inhibition of PG synthetase, as evaluated by bioassay and by AA-induced platelet aggregation, was not reduced when inhibitors were washed from platelets. The phospholipase A2 inhibitors bromophenacyl bromide and mepacrine, the chymotrypsin inhibitor tosylphenylalaninechloromethylketone, catalase and dithiothreitol also inhibited aggregation, whereas inhibitors of trypsin failed to do so. Incubation of rabbit platelet-rich plasma with carrageenan was followed by generation of PG-like and of rabbit aorta contracting activities. Generation of these activities was inhibited by drugs effective against aggregation, and also by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Aggregation of rabbit platelets by carrageenan and by thrombin does not appear to be dependent upon activation of PG synthetase, although PG-like substances are formed during aggregation.

Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) inhibits prostaglandin synthesis by acetylating an active site portion of the enzyme, prostaglandin synthetase. In the current study, the site of acetylation has been demonstrated to be a seryl residue at the NH2 terminus of the enzyme. Purified [3H]acetyl enzyme was prepared from seminal vesicle homogenates treated with [acetyl-3H]aspirin. The [3H]acetate to protein bond was stable to hydroxylamine, indicating an N-acetyl linkage. The [3H]acetyl enzyme was fragmented sequentially with cyanogen bromide, trypsin, and pronase. The 3H material isolated from the pronase digest was identified as N-acetylserine. This finding indicates that the oxygenase portion of prostaglandin synthetase has an NH2-terminal serine which is involved in enzymatic activity and is susceptible to acetylation by aspirin.

Phenylalanine chloromethyl ketone covalently attached to porous glass beads was synthesized to serve as a solid-phase active site directed inhibitor of chymotrypsin-like proteolytic enzymes. The solid-phase reagent inhibited 20 nmol of bovine chymotrypsin per gram of glass and covalently bound 30 nmol of protein per gram of glass. Sepharose-bound lysine chloromethyl ketones were synthesized to serve as inhibitors of trypsin-like enzymes. Sepharose-MethionylLysyl chloromethyl ketone inactivated and bound about 6.8 nmol of enzyme per ml of settled gel. In a preliminary experiment, a cyanogen bromide cleavage of the methionine residues showed that it should be possible to release all peptides but the peptide containing the active-site histidine. The immobilized trypsin was also reduced, carboxymethylated and digested with chymotrypsin. The potential of the solid-phase approach is in the isolation of a specific serine proteinase and in the sequence determination of residues surrounding the active-site histidine.

The glutamate dehydrogenase from a single human liver has been studied. The subunit size was found to be 55,200 +/- 1,500 by sedimentation equilibrium. The partial specific volume is 0.732 as calculated from the amino acid composition. The sequence was determined by isolation of peptides after cyanogen bromide (CNBr) cleavage; the fraction containing the largest peptides was hydrolyzed by trypsin after maleylation. Studies on these peptides accounted for 454 residues of the 505 residues that are presumably present in the protein. For the 51 residues that were not represented in isolated peptides, we have tentatively assumed that the sequence is the same as that of the bovine enzyme. Methionine and arginine residues in these peptides could be placed on the basis of the specificity of cleavage by CNBr or trypsin. In all, 349 residues were placed in sequence, and were aligned by homology with the corresponding peptides of the bovine and chicken enzymes. From the present information, there are 24 known differences in sequence between the human and bovine enzymes and 41 between the human and chicken enzymes. In addition, the human enzyme contains 4 additional residues at the NH2 terminus as compared to the bovine enzyme. In a peptide from the human enzyme, an additional residue, isoleucine 385, was detected by automated Edman degradation. Reinvestigation of the bovine sequence demonstrated that this residue is also present in the bovine enzyme (and presumably in the chicken enzyme also). Residue 384 of the bovine enzyme, previously reported as Glx has now been shown to be glutamine.

The complete amino acid sequence of the major component myoglobin from the Pacific spotted dolphin, Stenella attenuata graffmani, was determined by the automated Edman degradation of several large peptides obtained by specific cleavage of the protein. The acetimidated apomyoglobin was selectively cleaved at its two methionyl residues with cyanogen bromide and at its three arginyl residues by trypsin. By subjecting four of these peptides and the apomyoglobin to automated Edman degradation, over 80% of the primary structure of the protein was obtained. The remainder of the covalent structure was determined by the sequence analysis of peptides that resulted from further digestion of the central cyanogen bromide fragment. This fragment was cleaved at its glutamyl residues with staphylococcal protease and its lysyl residues with trypsin. The action of trypsin was restricted to the lysyl residues by chemical modification of the single arginyl residue of the fragment with 1,2-cyclohexanedione. The primary structure of this myoglobin proved to be identical with that from the Atlantic bottlenosed dolphin and Pacific common dolphin but differs from the myoglobins of the killer whale and pilot whale at two positions. The above sequence identities and differences reflect the close taxonomic relationship of these five species of Cetacea.

The complete amino acid sequence of the major component myoglobin from Pacific sei whale, Balaenoptera borealis, was determined by specific cleavage of the protein to obtain large peptides which are readily degraded by the automatic sequencer. The acetimidated apomyoglobin was selectively cleaved at its two methionyl residues with cyanogen bromide and at its three arginyl residues by trypsin. From the sequence analysis of four of these peptides and the apomyoglobin, over 75% of the covalent structure of the protein was obtained. The remainder of the primary structure was determined by the sequence analysis of peptides that resulted from further digestion of the amino-terminal and central cyanogen bromide fragments. The amino-terminal fragment was specifically cleaved at its two tryptophanyl residues with N-chlorosuccinimide and the central cyanogen bromide fragment was cleaved at its glutamyl residues with staphylococcal protease and at its single tyrosyl residue with N-bromosuccinimide. The primary structure of this myoglobin proved identical with that from the gray whale but differs from that of the finback whale at four positions, from that of the minke whale at three positions and from the myoglobin of the humpback whale at one position. The above sequence identities and differences reflect the close taxonomic relationship of these five species of Cetacea.
