The partial amino acid sequence of the mouse 14 kDa beta-galactoside-binding lectin has been deduced from cDNA clones corresponding to 86% of the coding sequence and extending to the polyadenylation signal. The deduced amino acid sequence for the murine lectin shows 94% identity with the rat, 89% with human, 86% with bovine and 46% with the chicken 14 kDa lectins. A cDNA probe has been used to analyse genomic DNA and identify a single mRNA of approx. 570 bp in 3T3 fibroblasts, murine erythroleukaemia cells and the murine basement-membrane-secreting Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm tumour. Analysis of free and bound polyribosomes has shown that the lectin message is translated on free cytoplasmic ribosomes.

AbstractA partial amino acid sequence of a vigour-related protein, V-1, from cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L.) seeds was obtained, after isolation by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and gas-phase micro-sequencing. The sequence was found to have high homology to soybean seed maturation proteins. However, the position of the sequence in the V-1 polypeptide suggests that the V-1 and soybean proteins have different polypeptide structures. An osmoprimed seeds cDNA library was constructed and has been screened by a cDNA probe derived from the V-1 sequence. Two cDNA clones with high homology to aspartic protease (EC 3.4.23) from barley grain were isolated. The expression of putative aspartic protease mRNA was found to be enhanced by osmopriming, however the clones were found to have no significant sequence homology to the V-1.

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.
