The arrangement of the disulphide bridges in human low-Mr kininogen has been elucidated. Low-Mr kininogen contains 18 half-cystine residues forming nine disulphide bridges. The first and the last half-cystine residues of the amino acid sequence form a disulphide loop which spans the heavy- and the light-chain portion of the kininogen molecule. The other 16 half-cystine residues are linked consecutively to form eight loops of 4-20 amino acids; these loops are lined up in the heavy-chain portion of the kininogen molecule. In this way, a particular pattern of disulphide loops is formed which seems to be of critical importance for the inhibitor function of human kininogen.

Abstract We have isolated 5′ cDNA clones encoding a member of the cellular myosin heavy chain gene family from human leukocytes. The predicted amino acid sequence shows 93% identity to a chicken cellular myosin heavy chain, 76% to chicken smooth muscle, and 40% to human sarcomeric myosin heavy chain. The mRNA is expressed as a 7.4- to 7.9-kb doublet in many nonmuscle cells, and is upregulated in myeloid cell lines on induction from a proliferating to a differentiated state. Antisera raised against a peptide made from the predicted amino acid sequence specifically reacts with a 224-Kd polypeptide in leukocyte cell lines, and the protein is also upregulated during the induction of monocytic and granulocytic differentiation in these cells. The gene for this cellular myosin heavy chain maps to chromosome 22, bands q12.3-q13.1, demonstrating that it is not located in the previously described sarcomeric gene clusters on chromosomes 14 and 17. This cellular myosin heavy chain may be a major contractile protein responsible for movement in myeloid cell lines because no mRNA for sarcomeric myosin heavy chain is detected in these cells.
