The amino acid sequence of the 146 residues of the p-chain of the major haemoglobin from the platypus has been determined. The soluble peptides derived from the chain by tryptic digestion were isolated by paper ionophoresis and chromatography. The amino acid sequences were determined by the dansyl-Edman procedure or by further digestion with other enzymes. The tryptic peptides were aligned by homology with other p-globins. There were 14 changes in sequence compared with echidna p-chain.

Terminal Amino Acid Sequence

To determine the primary structure of the C-terminal part of the molecule of chicken pepsinogen the tryptic, chymotryptic and thermolytic digest of the protein were investigated and peptides derived from this region were sought. These peptides permitted the following 21-residue C-terminal sequence to be determined: ...Ile-Arg-Glu-Tyr-Tyr-Val-Ile-Phe-Asp-Arg-Ala-Asn-Asn-Lys-Val-Gly-Leu-Ser-Pro-Leu-Ser.COOH. A comparison of this structure with the C-terminal sequential regions of the other acid proteases shows a high degree of homology between chicken pepsinogen and these proteases (e.g., the degree of homology with respect to hog pepsinogen and calf prochymosin is about 66%). Additional tryptic peptides, derived from the N-terminal part of the zymogen molecule whose amino acid sequence has been reported before, were also obtained in this study. This sequence was extended by two residues using an overlapping peptide. An ancillary result of this study was the isolation of tryptic peptides derived from other regions of the zymogen molecule.

A Chain

The amino acid sequence of the a-chain of haemoglobin from M. giganteus has been determined. The soluble peptides formed by tryptic digestion were isolated by gel filtration, ion-exchange chromatography, paper ionophoresis, and chromatography. The amino acid sequences were determined by the "dansyl"Edman procedure. Incomplete hydrolysis of one bond resulted in a large insolublecore peptide containing 40 amino acid residues. The sequence of this peptide was deduced from the sequences of smaller peptides resulting from further digestion with thermolysin and papain. Maleylation of the a-globin before tryptic digestion gave three large fragments which assisted in assigning tryptic peptides to specific areas of the molecule. A special procedure involving maleylation of a chymotryptic digest of globin was used to isolate peptides containing arginine which provided overlap sequences of tryptic peptides

The amino acid sequence of human platelet factor 4 (PF4) has been studied. PF4 is a platelet specific protein with antiheparin activity, released from platelets as a proteoglycan complex, whose measurement may provide an important index of platelet activation both in vivo and in vitro. These studies were undertaken to characterize fully the PF4 molecule. PF4 is a stable tetramer, composed of identical subunits, each with a molecular weight based on the sequence studies of approx. 7,770. Each PF4 subunit contains 69 amino acids, including 4 half-cystine (# 10, 12, 36, 37), one tyrosine (# 59), 3 arginine and 8 lysine, but no methionine, phenylalanine or tryptophan residues. The basic residues are predominantly in the C-terminal region. The tryptic peptides were aligned after studies which included tryptic digestion of citraconylated RCM-PF4, and automated Edman degradation of RCM-PF4 and citraconylated tryptic peptides. No glycopeptides were detected. This structural information should enable clear distinction to be made between PF4 and other platelet proteins such as β thromboglobulin. The provisional amino acid sequence of each subunit is:Glu-Ala-Glu-Glu-Asp-Gly-Asp-Leu-Gln-Cys-Leu-Cys-Val-Lys-Thr-Thr-Ser-Gln-Val-Arg-Pro-Arg-His-Ile-Thr-Ser-Leu-Glu-Val-Ile-Lys-Ala-Gly-Pro-His-Cys-Cys-Pro-Thr-Ala-Gln-Ile-Leu-Ala-Thr-Leu-Lys-Asn-Gly-Arg-Lys-Ile-Pro-Leu-Asp-Leu-Gln-Ala-Tyr-Leu-Lys-Ile-Lys(Lys, Lys, Ser, Glx, Leu, Leu)
