Sixteen ribosomal proteins (r-proteins) from the 50S ribosomal subunit of the archaebacterium Halobacterium cutirubrum have been purified and their amino acid composition and partial N-terminal amino acid sequence have been determined. These proteins as a group are much more acidic than the large subunit r-proteins from eubacteria or eukaryotes. Little sequence homology is evident between the 50S subunit archaebacterial r-proteins and the equivalent proteins from the eubacterium Escherichia coli.

To determine the primary structure of the C-terminal part of the molecule of chicken pepsinogen the tryptic, chymotryptic and thermolytic digest of the protein were investigated and peptides derived from this region were sought. These peptides permitted the following 21-residue C-terminal sequence to be determined: ...Ile-Arg-Glu-Tyr-Tyr-Val-Ile-Phe-Asp-Arg-Ala-Asn-Asn-Lys-Val-Gly-Leu-Ser-Pro-Leu-Ser.COOH. A comparison of this structure with the C-terminal sequential regions of the other acid proteases shows a high degree of homology between chicken pepsinogen and these proteases (e.g., the degree of homology with respect to hog pepsinogen and calf prochymosin is about 66%). Additional tryptic peptides, derived from the N-terminal part of the zymogen molecule whose amino acid sequence has been reported before, were also obtained in this study. This sequence was extended by two residues using an overlapping peptide. An ancillary result of this study was the isolation of tryptic peptides derived from other regions of the zymogen molecule.
