Porcine gastric inhibitory polypeptide is a 43 amino acid residue polypeptide with the amino acid sequence Tyr–Ala–Glu–Gly–Thr–Phe–Ile–Ser–Asp–Tyr–Ser–Ile–Ala–Met–Asp–Lys–Ile–Arg–Gln–Gln–Asp–Phe–Val–Asn–Trp–Leu–Leu–Ala–Gln–Gln–Lys–Gly–Lys–Lys–Ser–Asp–Trp–Lys–His–Asn–Ile–Thr–Gln. Fifteen of the first 26 amino acids occur in the same position as they do in porcine glucagon, and nine of the first 26 in the same position as in porcine secretin. The calculated molecular weight of the polypeptide is 5105.

The complete amino acid sequence of protein SCMKB-IIIB4 is presented. It is closely related to the sequence of protein SCMKB-IIIB3 (Haylett, Swart & Parris, 1971) differing in only four positions. The peptic and thermolysin peptides of protein SCMKB-IIIB4 were analysed by the dansyl–Edman method (Gray, 1967) and by tritium-labelling of C-terminal residues (Matsuo, Fujimoto & Tatsuno, 1966). This protein is the third member of a group of high-sulphur wool proteins with molecular weight of about 11400. It consists of 98 residues and has acetylalanine and carboxymethylcysteine as N- and C-terminal residues respectively.

Human sperm protamines have been extracted from spermatozoa pooled from several donors, converted to their S-pyridylethylated derivatives and resolved into two major components, P1 and PI, by Bio-Rex 70 chromatography. Protamine P1 was further purified by Bio-Gel P-10 chromatography and sequenced directly on a gas phase protein sequencer for 43 residues. To complete the sequence, P1 was cleaved at methionine 36 and the C-terminal tetradecapeptide was purified by h.p.i.c, and sequenced completely. The 50 residue sequence is: 10 20 30 40 ARYRC CRSQS RSRYY RQRQR SRRRR RRSCQ TRRRA MRCCR 50 PRYRP RCRRH. This sequence has a calculated molecular weight of 6674 and is homologous with four other published mammalian protamine sequences.

Outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria has complex profile of proteins. The outer membrane proteins (OMPs) isolated from S. typhimurium by urea-EDTA extraction method and analysed through SDS-PAGE showed a complex electrophoretic profile having more than 15 low molecular weight proteins with molecular masses ranging between 3.5 and 43 kDa. The most important outer membrane protein (Omp28) of S. typhimurium with submolecular masses of 12.32kDa of main protein was recovered. The gene responsible for expression of this protein was also amplified through PCR and sequenced, showed 341bp amplicon size and predicted amino acid sequence of this pro-tein was determined. The Antigenic index was calculated from amino acid sequence of same gene and found 2.2 (0.1-2.2) suggesting highly antigenic in nature. The experimentally determined values are close agreement with the theoretically calculated molecular weight 12.32 kDa and pI: 9.61 from the gene sequence of this protein. The antigenic natures of predicted protein values are close agreement with experimental determent of Omp28 of S. typhimurium a possible formula for vaccine developmental of genus Salmonella.

AbstractTwo cry1-type genes encoding insecticidal crystal proteins (ICPs) were detected by PCR-RFLP and cloned from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. galleriae 87. The nucleotide sequences were deposited in GenBank with accession numbers EU679501 and EU679502, and designated as cry1Fb7 and cry1Cb3 respectively by B. thuringiensis Delta- Endotoxin Nomenclature Committee. cry1Cb3 shared 99% homology with other cry1Cb genes. The existence of two additional stop codons indicated cry1Cb3 was a silent gene. The cry1Cb3 was 3531 bp with 38.98% G+C content and its first open reading frame (ORF) encoded a protein of 213 amino acid residues with a calculated molecular weight of 23.8 kDa and a predicted pI value of 4.63. Five amino acid sequence blocks (block 1, block 2, block 3, block 4 and block 5) were found in Cry1Cb3. Translation of cry1Fb7 revealed an ORF of 3525 bp with 39.12% G+C content and a protein with a calculated molecular weight of 133.2 kDa and a predicted pI value of 5.18. Cry1Fb7 had five amino acid sequence blocks (blocks 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5) and three domains (I, II and III), which consisted of 218 residues (Leu

SummaryThe present work reports the discovery and charactenzation of an anticoagulant protein in the salivary gland of the giant bloodsucking leech, H. ghilianii, which is a specific and potent inhibitor of coagulation factor Xa. The inhibitor, purified to homogeneity, displayed subnanomolar inhibition of bovine factor Xa and had a molecular weight of approximately 15,000 as deduced by denaturing SDS-PAGE. The amino acid sequence of the first 43 residues of the H. ghilianii derived inhibitor displayed a striking homology to antistasin, the recently described subnanomolar inhibitor of factor Xa isolated from the Mexican leech, H. officinalis. Antisera prepared to antistasin cross-reacted with the H. ghilianii protein in Western Blot analysis. These data indicate that the giant Amazonian leech, H. ghilianii, and the smaller Mexican leech, H. officinalrs, have similar proteins which disrupt the normal hemostatic clotting mechanisms in their mammalian host’s blood.
