Limited proteolysis of chicken liver acetyl-CoA carboxylase by staphylococcal serine proteinase yielded a fragment of 31 kDa which contained the biotinyl active site. This polypeptide was purified by preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and characterized. The complete amino acid sequence of this polypeptide has been deduced from the nucleotide sequence of cloned DNA complementary to the chicken liver acetyl-CoA carboxylase mRNA. A highly conserved sequence of Met-Lys-Met was found in the biotin-binding site. Appreciable homology was observed among the sequences in close vicinity of the biotin sites of chicken liver acetyl-CoA carboxylase and other biotin-dependent carboxylases including biotin carboxyl carrier protein of Escherichia coli acetyl-CoA carboxylase.

The complete amino acid sequence of acetyl-CoA carboxylase from chicken liver has been deduced by cloning and sequence analysis of DNA complementary to its messenger RNA. The results were confirmed by Edman degradation of peptide fragments obtained by digestion of the enzyme polypeptide with Achromobacter proteinase I or staphylococcal serine proteinase. Chicken liver acetyl-CoA carboxylase is predicted to be composed of 2,324 amino acid residues, having a calculated molecular weight of 262,706. The biotin carboxyl carrier protein domain is located in the middle region of the enzyme polypeptide. The amino-terminal portion of the acetyl-CoA carboxylase has been found to exhibit a homologous primary structure to that of carbamyl phosphate synthetase. Localization of possible functional domains including biotin carboxylase subsite in the acetyl-CoA carboxylase polypeptide is discussed.
