Isolation And Characterization

The amino acid sequences of peptides isolated from a tryptic digest of penicillopepsin (EC 3.4.23.7), a subtilisin (EC 3.4.21.14) digest of maleylated penicillopepsin, and a chymotryptic digest of penicillopepsin modified with dinitrophenylsulfenyl (DNPS) chloride have been determined. The first two digests identified four of the five lysyl residues of the enzyme as well as the N-terminal peptide. The third digest provided overlaps at three of the tryptophanyl residues. The DNPS-tryptophan peptides were isolated on an affinity column prepared by coupling dinitrophenyl antibody raised in sheep to cyanogen bromide-activated Sepharose.

Isolation And Characterization

The amino acid sequences of 48 peptides obtained from a chymotryptic digest of the mould acid protease, penicillopepsin (EC 3.4.23.7), have been determined. These peptides established the sequences of 26 unique fragments of up to 28 residues in length. The 28-residue fragment was identified as the N-terminal region. The C-terminal region is represented by a 13-residue fragment. The amino acids contained in these fragments account for some 85% of the residues of the enzyme.
