The cyanogen bromide fragments of S-carboxymethylated fructose-bisphosphatase were purified. The amino acid sequences of the small fragments were determined by the dansyl-Edman method. The large fragments were subjected to proteolytic digestion to give smaller peptides more amenable for purification and sequencing by similar methods. Enzyme digests of the S-carboxymethylated enzyme gave overlap peptides containing the methionine residues.

Cyanogen Bromide Fragment

On the basis of the knowlidge of thermolytic, chymotryptic and substilisin peptides the amino acid sequence was determined of cyanogen bromide fragment CB3 representing the region between methionine residues I and II of pepsin: Thr-Gly-Ile-Leu-Gly-Tyr-Asp-Thr-Val-Gln-Val-Gly-Gly-Ile-Ser-Asp-Thr-Asn-Gln-Ile-Phe-Gly-Leu-Ser-Glu-Thr-Glu-Pro-Gly-Ser-Phe-Leu-Tyr-Tyr-Ala-Pro-Phe-Asp-Gly-Ile-Leu-Gly-Leu-Ala-Tyr-Pro-Ser-Ile-Ser-Ala-Ser-Gly-Ala-Thr-Pro-Val-Phe-Asp-Asn-Leu-Trp-Asp-Gln-Gly-Leu-Val-Ser-Gln-Asp-Leu-Phe-Ser-Val-Tyr-Leu-Ser-Ser-Asn-Asp-Asp-Ser-Gly-Ser-Val-Val-Leu-Leu-Gly-Gly-Ile-Asp-Ser-Ser-Tyr-Tyr-Thr-Gly-Ser-Leu-Asn-Trp-Val-Pro-Val-Ser-Val-Glu-Gly-Tyr-Trp-Gln-Ile-Thr-Leu-Asp-Ser-Ile-Thr-Met.

1. The nature of the subunits in rabbit muscle triose phosphate isomerase has been investigated. 2. Amino acid analyses show that there are five cysteine residues and two methionine residues/subunit. 3. The amino acid sequences around the cysteine residues have been determined; these account for about 75 residues. 4. Cleavage at the methionine residues with cyanogen bromide gave three fragments. 5. These results show that the subunits correspond to polypeptide chains, containing about 230 amino acid residues. The chains in triose phosphate isomerase seem to be shorter than those of other glycolytic enzymes.

A Chain

The amino acid sequence of the a-chain of the principal haemoglobin from the shark, H. portusjacksoni has been determined. The chain has 148 residues and is acetylated at the amino terminal. The soluble peptides obtained by tryptic and chymotryptic digestion of the protein or its cyanogen bromide fragments were isolated by gel filtration, paper ionophoresis and paper chromatography. The amino acid sequences were determined by the dansyl-Edman procedure. The insoluble 'core' peptide from the tryptic digestion contained 34 residues and required cleavage by several proteases before the sequence was established. Compared with human a-chain there are 88 amino acid differences including the additional seven residues which appear on the amino terminal of the shark chain. There is also one deletion and one insertion. The chain contains no tryptophan but has four cysteinyl residues which is the highest number of such residues recorded for a vertebrate globin.

Cyanogen Bromide Fragment

By the analyses of chymotryptic, and thermolytic peptides the amino acid sequence was determined of cyanogen bromide fragment CB4 representing the region of the pepsin chain between the N-terminus and methonine-residue I: Ile-Gly-Asp-Glu-Pro-Leu-Glu-Asn-Tyr-Leu-Asp-Thr-Glu-Tyr-Phe-Gly-Thr-Ile-Gly-Ile-Gly-Thr-Pro-Ala-Gln-Asp-Phe-Thr-Val-Ile-Phe-Asp-Thr-Gly-Ser-Ser-Asn-Leu-Trp-Val-Pro-Ser-Val-Tyr-Cys-Ser-Ser-Leu-Ala-Cys-Ser-Asp-His-Asn- + Gln-Phe-Asn-Pro-Asp-Asp-Ser-Ser-Thr-Phe-Glu-Ala-Thr-Ser-Gln-Glu-Leu-Ser-Ile-Thr-Tyr-Gly- + Thr-Gly-Ser-Met. The serine residue (Ser) in position 68 of pepsin is phosphorylated. By sequential analysis of chymotryptic, tryptic, and thermolytic peptides the amino acid sequence was determined of cyanogen bromide fragment CB6 representing the region between methionine residues II and III in the pepsin chain: Asp-Gly-Glu-Thr-Ile-Ala-Cys-Ser-Gly-Gly-Cys-Gln-Ala- + Ile-Val-Asp-Thr-Gly-Thr-Ser-Leu-Leu-Thr-Gly-Pro-Thr-Ser-Ala-Ile-Ala-Asn-Ile-Gln-Ser-Asp- + Ile-Gly-Ala-Ser-Glu-Asn-Ser-Asp-Gly-Glu-Met. The aspartic acid residue (Asp) in position 16 of this fragment is identical with the residue reacting with diazo inhibitors which forms a part of the active center of the enzyme. Both half-cystine residues of fragment CB4 and fragment CB6 are linked to one another by a disulfide bond in native pepsin.

The aim of the present investigation is to elucidate the primary structure of human fibrinogen. Through the work of several laboratories including our own large parts of the structure are now known. Here will be reported the complete amino acid sequence of the γ-chain (409 residues). Furthermore, the carbohydrate linkage site in the β-chain and plasmin cleavage sites in the β- and γ-chains have been identified.The peptide chains were isolated by CM-cellulose chromatography following mercaptolysis and alkylation. The γ-chain was cleaved in a way to produce large fragments suitable for automatic sequencing, e. g. with cyanogen bromide or trypsin after citraconylation. The sequences of the isolated fragments allowed reconstruction of the complete sequence of the γ-chain.The carbohydrate linkage site in the β-chain could be isolated by affinity chromatography on concanavalin A-agarose following cleavage of the chain by trypsin or cyanogen bromide. The sequence of 21 amino acid residues around the carbohydrate attachment site was determined.The plasmin cleavage site giving rise to N-terminal glycine in the γ-chain D-fragment was identified. The amino acid sequence linking plasmic fragments E and D in the β-chain was determined.

Component 8 is a major component extracted from reduced and carboxy-methylated wool. Further study of its reaction with cyanogen bromide and of the fractions obtained under carefully controlled disaggregating conditions has rev<\laled that while most of the methionine residues are in the same position relative to the ends of the chains, at least 30% of them appear to be in a different chemical environment from the rest. The evidence can be interpreted in terms of variations in some of the amino acids at particular points in a fundamental sequence of the 60 residues (CNBr3) at the amino terminal end. Further amino acid sequences near the acetylated terminal residue have been determined and provide examples of the amino acid variatioIl along the chain. One sequeIlce with variants is: N-acetyISer-(Tyr or Phe Or Pro)-Asp-(Phe or Leu)-SCMCySH-Leu-Pro-Asp-Leu-Ser-Phe-Arg-. There is a region in component 8 where many of the S-carboxymethylcysteine residues are congregated.
