When the amino-acid sequence of the 108-residue, rat tumour calcium-binding protein, oncomodulin, was aligned with that of rat muscle parvalbumin, 55 homologous positions were found, with an additional 33 single base-pair substitutions. This extensive homology, with virtual identity of the calcium-binding domains, signalled oncomodulin to be a member of the troponin C superfamily. The presence of Cys-18 and Phe-66 in oncomodulin, plus its isoelectric point of 3.9) suggest that this tumour protein is a 8-parva Jbumin, rather than a muscle α-parvalbumin.

To investigate the roles of calcium-binding proteins in degranulation, we used three anti-allergic drugs, amlexanox, cromolyn and tranilast, which inhibit IgE-mediated degranulation of mast cells, as molecular probes in affinity chromatography. All of these drugs, which have different structures but similar function, scarcely bound to calmodulin in bovine lung extract, but bound to the same kinds of calcium-binding proteins, such as the 10-kDa proteins isolated in this study, calcyphosine and annexins I–V. The 10-kDa proteins obtained on three drug-coupled resins and on phenyl-Sepharose were analysed by reversed-phase HPLC. It was found that two characteristic 10-kDa proteins, one polar and one less polar, were bound with all three drugs, although S100A2 (S100L), of the S100 family, was bound with phenyl-Sepharose. The cDNA and deduced amino acid sequence proved our major polar protein to be identical with the calcium-binding protein in bovine amniotic fluid (CAAF1, S100A12). The cDNA and deduced amino acid sequence of the less-polar protein shared 95% homology with human and mouse S100A13. In addition, it was demonstrated that the native S100A12 and recombinant S100A12 and S100A13 bind to immobilized amlexanox. On the basis of these findings, we speculate that the three anti-allergic drugs might inhibit degranulation by binding with S100A12 and S100A13.

An outline of present ideas concerning the arrangement, folding, and chemistry of the polypeptide chains of hemoglobin is given with some references to present know ledge of myoglobin.New material includes a partial amino acid sequence of the β-chain of horse hemoglobin, details concerning the amino acids lining the heme pocket of horse hemoglobin, and the effects of carboxypeptidases A and B on horse oxy- and horse deoxy-hemoglobin. The kinetics of the latter reactions are not simple. The C-terminal amino acids are released more rapidly from the oxygenated form.

Spectrometry Analysis

The complete amino acid sequence of the calcium-binding protein (CaBP) from pig intestinal mucosa has been determined: Ac-Ser-Ala-Gln-Lys-Ser-Pro-Ala-Glu-Leu-Lys-Ser-Ile-Phe-Glu-Lys-Tyr-Ala-Ala-Lys-Glu-Gly-Asp-Pro-Asn-Gln-Leu-Ser-Lys-Glu-Glu-Leu-Lys-Gln-Leu-Ile-Gln-Ala-Glu-Phe-Pro-Ser-Leu-Leu-Lys-Gly-Pro-Arg-Thr-Leu-Asp-Asp-Leu-Phe-Gln-Glu-Leu-Asp-Lys-Asn-Gly-Asn-Gly-Glu-Val-Ser-Phe-Glu-Glu-Phe-Gln-Val-Leu-Val-Lys-Lys-Ile-Ser-Gln-OH. The N-terminal octapeptide sequence was determined by mass spectrometry analysis by Morris and Dell. The first 45 residues of bovine CaBP differ only in six positions from the corresponding sequence of the porcine protein, except that the sequence starts in position two of the porcine sequence. The mammalian intestinal CaBP's belong to the troponin-C superfamily on the basis of an analysis by Barker and Dayhoff.
