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.
