Bacillus amyloliquefaciens alpha-amylase (1,4-alpha-D-glucan glucanohydrolase. EC 3.2.1.1), which is commercially supplied as ‘Bacillus subtilis alpha-amylase’ does not cross-react immunologically with B. subtilis alpha-amylase. This enzyme (from B. amyloliquefaciens) was cleaved by treatment with CNBr into seven fragments. Peptide A was selected for sequence determination. It is the longest one, containing 185 amino acids (i.e. approx. 50% of the total molecule) and connects to the hexapeptide of the N-terminus. Its primary structure was aligned by use of various proteolytic enzymes. The sequence of amino acids 181-184 is identical with that of amino acids 14-17 of the alpha-amylase isolated from B. subtilis (except that amino acid 183 is asparagine rather than aspartic acid).

The sequence of amino acids within the coat protein of the strain Holmes rib grass of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) has been determined. In this communication the amino acid compositions of the coat protein and of all tryptic peptides are reported. Furthermore the experimental details are given for the elucidation of the amino acid sequences within the first three tryptic peptides, containing 61 amino acids.It has been found that the strain Holmes rib grass differs very extensively in the primary structure from the other TMV strains whose sequences are known. It differs from each of the other strains in more than 50% of the amino acid positions and it contains two amino acids less per protein subunit than the other TMV strains.

The amino-acid sequences of all expressed hemoglobins of the pig embryo are given: Hemo­globin Gower I (ζ2/ε2), Hemoblobin Gower II (α2/ε2), Hemoglobin Heide I (ζ2/ϑ2) and Hemo­globin Heide II (α0/ϑ2). The ζ-, ε- and ϑ-chains were obtained with chromatography on CM-cellulose from isolated hemoglobin components. The primary structure was established by sequencing the tryptic peptides in the sequenator: they where isolated using HPLC. The ζ-chains from pig and human differ in 23, the ε-chains in 20 positions. The embryonic globin-gene which express the ϑ-chains, is a new one in mammals, of ε-type and up to now it could only be found in pigs: the amino-acid sequence differ in only 4 positions from the ε-chains. Because no γ-chains (fetal Hb) are expressed the sequences of all hemoglobins (5 hemoglobin chains forming 5 different hemo­globins) of ontogeny in pig are now described.

Peptides produced by thermolytic digestion of aminoethylated aspartate aminotransferase and of the oxidized enzyme were isolated and their amino acid sequences determined. Digestion by elastase of the carboxymethylated enzyme gave peptides representing approximately 40% of the primary structure. Fragments from these digests overlapped with previously reported sequences of peptides obtained by peptic and tryptic digestion (Doonan et al., 1972), giving ten composite peptides containing 395 amino acid residues. The amino acid composition of these composite peptides agrees well with that of the intact enzyme. Confirmatory results for some of the present data have been deposited as Supplementary Publication 50018 at the National Lending Library for Science and Technology, Boston Spa, Yorks. LS23 7BQ, U.K., from whom copies can be obtained on the terms indicated in Biochem. J. (1973) 131, 5.
