In this paper, we present the amino-terminal sequence of rat tonin, an endopeptidase responsible for the conversion of angiotensinogen, the tetradecapeptide renin substrate, or angiotensin I to angiotensin II. It is shown that isoleucine and proline occupy the amino- and carboxy-terminal residues respectively. The N-terminal sequence analysis permitted the identification of 34 out of the first 40 residue s of the single polypeptide chain composed of 272 amino acids. The se results showed an extensive homology with the sequence of many serine proteases of the trypsin–chymotrypsin family. This information, coupled with the slow inhibition of tonin by diisopropylfluorophosphate, classified this enzyme as a selective endopeptidase of the active serine protease family.
