After chondroitinase digestion of bovine nasal and tracheal cartilage proteoglycans, subsequent treatment with trypsin or trypsin followed by chymotrypsin yielded two major types of polypeptide-glycosaminoglycan fragments which could be separated by Sepharose 6B chromatography. One fragment, located close to the hyaluronic acid-binding region of the protein core, had a high relative keratan sulfate content. This fragment contained about 60% of the total keratan sulfate, but less than 10% of the total chondroitin sulfate present in the original proteoglycan preparation. The weight average molecular weight of the keratan sulfate-enriched fragment was 122,000, as determined by sedimentation equilibrium centrifugation. The chemical and physical data indicate that this fragment contains an average of 10 to 15 keratan sulfate chains, if the average molecular weight of individual chains is assumed to be about 8,000, and about 5 chondroitin sulfate chains attached to a peptide of about 20,000 daltons. The other population of fragments was derived from the other end of the proteoglycan molecule, the chondroitin sulfate-enriched region, and contained mainly chondroitin sulfate chains. About 90% of the total chondroitin sulfate, but only 20 to 30% of the total keratan sulfate was recovered in these fragments. On the average, approximately 5 chondroitin sulfate chains and 1 keratan sulfate chain could be linked to the same peptide. Another 10 to 20% of the total keratan sulfate, originally found in or near the hyaluronic acid-binding region, was not separated from the chondroitin sulfate-enriched fragments. Hydroxylamine could be used to liberate a large molecular size, chondroitin sulfate-enriched fragment (Kav 0.54 on Sepharose 2B) from the proteoglycan aggregates. The remainder of the protein core, containing the keratan sulfate-enriched region, was bound to hyaluronic acid with the link proteins and recovered in the void volume on the Sepharose 2B column.

Sequencing of chymotrypsin, trypsin, collagenase- and hydroxylamine-derived peptides, using the automated Edman degradation procedure, yielded the complete amino acid sequence of alpha2-CB4 from calf skin collagen (321 residues). Together with the data from earlier work, an uninterrupted sequence in the helical region of the alpha2-chain from residues 1-393 is now known. Glycine is found in every third position of the peptide. Hydroxylation of proline and lysine occurs only in the Y-position of the triplet Gly-X-Y and is not complete in every position. Some residues, such as glutamic acid, leucine, phenylalanine and arginine, are distributed non-randomly between the X and Y-positions and this non-random distribution is different in the alpha1 and alpha2-chains. Comparison of the N-terminal 393 residues from the helical region of the alpha1 and alpha2-chains revealed a nearly identical distribution of charged polar residues arginine, lysine, glutamic and aspartic acids. The distribution of the triplet Gly-Pro-Hyp is simialr in both chains. The remaining residues in the alpha2-chain exhibit a high degree of substitutions when compared with those in the alpha1-chain. Approximately one in every two residues in both the X and Y-positions are substituted.

Concentrated murine leukemia virus (MuLV) or MuLV producing cells induce XC cell fusion within an hour leading to syncytia formation. While MuLV inactivated by UV irradiation, beta-propiolactone or hydroxylamine treatment still caused cell fusion, Bromelin- or trypsin treated MuLV was no longer able to fuse XC cells. Though sonicated MuLV induced no XC cell fusion, it interfered with cell fusion as caused by untreated MuLV. XC cells infected by diluted MuLV of a titer lower than 1 X 10(5) PFU/ml formed no syncytia although they produced MuLV. The cell fusion mechanism is discussed.

When nucleosomal core histones were isolated from rat liver nuclei incubated with [14C]NAD+ and fractionated into the individual components (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4), [14C]adenosine diphosphate ribose (ADP-Rib) was found to be associated with all of them. However, while about 15% of the H2B molecules were modified, less than 2% of the other fractions contained radioactive ADP-Rib. The nucleotide attached to H2B was identified as a single monomer of ADP-Rib. On subjectint H2B to electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels containing 2.5 M urea and 0.9 N acetic acid, one single band of H2B with 5% less mobility than the unomdified control was obtained. The linkage between H2B and ADP-Rib was rapidly hydrolyzed with 0.1 N NaOH or with 1 M neutral hydroxylamine. Hydrolysis of ADP-ribosylated H2B with trypsin generated a single peptide linked to ADP-Rib, which corresponded to the sequence Pro-Glu-Pro-Ala-Lys. We were able to dansylate the NH2-terminal proline, which proved that the imino group of this amino acid was not substituted. These findings, together with the chemical properties of the linkage, which were typical of those of an ester-like bond, strongly suggest that the ADP-Rib residue was linked to the gamma-COOH group of the glutamic acid in position 2 of H2B.

The amino acid sequence of the L-arabinose-binding protein of Escherichia coli B/r was determined by sequenator analyses of reduced and S-pyridylethylated L-arabinose-binding protein and fragments derived by chemical and enzymatic cleavage of the native protein. The fragments were the products of cleavage by cyanogen bromide. BNPS-skatole, hydroxylamine, mild acid hydrolysis, limited trypsin digestion, chymotrypsin subdigestion, and subdigestion with Staphylococcus aureus protease V8. The COOH-terminal sequence was determined using bovine carboxypeptidases A and B and amino acid analyses. The L-arabinose-binding protein was determined to contain 306 amino acid residues, the sequence of which is presented below.

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.

The complete primary structure of the alpha subunit of protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase has been determined by automated Edman degradation and carboxypeptidase digestionof the intact alpha chain and of peptides derived from trypsin (N.A. Kohlmiller and J.B. Howard (1979) J. Biol. Chem. 254, 7302-7308) and Staphylococcus aureus protease digestion, and from hydroxylamine and dilute acid cleavage. The alpha chain was found to consist of 200 residues in the following sequence from the NH2-terminal end: (formula: see text).

The cyanogen bromide peptide alpha 1-(III)CB1,8,10,2 is 180 amino acid residues in length and occupies position 223 to 402 along the alpha 1(III) chain. In order to elucidate its amino acid sequence, alpha 1(III)CB1,8,10,2 was fragmented with hydroxylamine, protease from Staphylococcus aureus V8 and trypsin. Peptides necessary for sequence analysis with the automated Edman degradation were separated using molecular and ion exchange chromatography. Edman degradation of the hydroxylamine-derived fragments resulted in the elucidation of 80% of the entire sequence. The rest was completely established by sequence analysis of some protease V8 and trypsin-derived peptides.

The cyanogen bromide peptide alpha 1(III)CB4 comprises the sequence region from position 403 to 551 of the alpha 1(III) chain. Almost the entire sequence of this region was elucidated using two hydroxylamine- and one chymotrypsin-derived fragments for automated Edman degradation. The sequence analysis of alpha 1(III)CB4 was completed with the help of trypsin and one protease V8-derived peptide. Comparison with the corresponding region of the alpha 1(I) chain revealed a striking homology between the two chains in this region which is higher than for the entire alpha chains.

The cyanogen bromide peptide alpha 1(III)CB5 is 237 amino acid residues in length and occupies position 552--788 along the alpha 1(III) chain. For sequence analysis alpha 1(III)CB5 was fragmented with hydroxylamine, protease from Staphylococcus aureus V8, trypsin and the arginine-specific enzyme from mouse submaxillary gland. The peptides obtained were separated using molecular and ion exchange chromatography and sequenced with the automated Edman degradation procedure.
