The complete amino acid sequences of wool protein SCMKB-IIIA3 (131 residues) and a minor component SCMKB-IIIA3A (130 residues) have been determined. The proteins are mutually homologous and have free threonine as the N-terminal residue and carboxymethylcysteine as the C-terminus. The peptides used for the sequence work were obtained by trypsin, thermolysin, pepsin and chymotrypsin digestions and were fractionated by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, gel filtration on Sephadex G-25 and G-50, paper chromatography and electrophoresis. The Edman degradation method (employing both the Beckman Sequencer and a non-automatic procedure) was used to obtain the sequences of the peptides.

The complete amino acid sequence of wool protein SCMKB-IIIB3 was determined. The peptides used for the sequence work were obtained by peptic and thermolysin digestions and were fractionated by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, paper chromatography and electrophoresis. The peptides were analysed by dansyl–Edman degradation, mass spectrometry and tritium-labelling of C-terminal residues. The protein consists of 98 residues and has acetylalanine as N-terminal residue and carboxymethylcysteine as C-terminus. It is homologous with protein SCMKB-IIIB2 (Haylett & Swart, 1969). A salient feature of the sequence of protein SCMKB-IIIB3 is three consecutive cysteine residues.

PG-Lb is a chondroitin/dermatan sulphate proteoglycan first isolated from chick embryo limb cartilage. It had been assumed that osteoglycin represents its mammalian homologue. However, partial amino acid sequences of a novel proteoglycan from bovine epiphyseal cartilage showed high identity with those of chick PG-Lb (P. Neame, L. Rosenberg and M. Höök, personal communication). Reverse transcriptase PCR using degenerate oligonucleotide primers gave a cDNA fragment that might correspond to mouse PG-Lb. We isolated a clone from a cDNA library of newborn mouse epiphyseal cartilage using the cDNA fragment as a probe. The cloned cDNA was 1430 bp long and contained a 966 bp open reading frame which encoded the core protein consisting of 322 amino acid residues. The deduced amino acid sequence showed a high overall identity with chick PG-Lb (about 62%, reaching about 80% over the carboxyl two-thirds). In addition, the amino acid sequence contained a signal peptide, six cysteine residues at the invariant relative position to chick PG-Lb, six leucine-rich repeats at the carboxyl two-thirds, three possible glycosaminoglycan-attachment sites (two sites at the N-terminal side and one site at the C-terminus) and two possible Asn-glycosylation sites near the C-terminus. Northern-blot analysis demonstrated the specific expression of a 1.5 kb message in cartilage and testis. These structural features and the characteristic expression suggest that the cloned molecule is mouse PG-Lb.

The amino acid sequence of the jS-chain of haemoglobin from M. giganteus has been determined. The soluble peptides formed by tryptic digestion were isolated by gel filtration, ion-exchange chromatography, and paper ionophoresis, and amino acid sequences determined by the "dansyl"-Edman procedure. Special procedures were necessary for three peptides which were insoluble.

The amino acid sequence of the a-chain of the principal haemoglobin from the shark, H. portusjacksoni has been determined. The chain has 148 residues and is acetylated at the amino terminal. The soluble peptides obtained by tryptic and chymotryptic digestion of the protein or its cyanogen bromide fragments were isolated by gel filtration, paper ionophoresis and paper chromatography. The amino acid sequences were determined by the dansyl-Edman procedure. The insoluble 'core' peptide from the tryptic digestion contained 34 residues and required cleavage by several proteases before the sequence was established. Compared with human a-chain there are 88 amino acid differences including the additional seven residues which appear on the amino terminal of the shark chain. There is also one deletion and one insertion. The chain contains no tryptophan but has four cysteinyl residues which is the highest number of such residues recorded for a vertebrate globin.

The first complete amino-acid sequence of a wool protein is presented. The high-sulfur protein SCMKB-IIIB2, with a molecular weight of 11,260, consists of 97 residues and has an acetylated amino terminal. A notable feature of the protein is that it has a high- and a low-sulfur region. The sequence was determined by examination of the peptides released by various proteolytic enzymes and separated by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose with volatile buffers.

Hemoglobin from the cobra snake, Naja naja naja, was isolated and its chains separated on a CM-cellulose column. The separation profile revealed an α and two β chains having the molar proportions of [α]2,[β1]1,[β2]1. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the intact chains and of the CNBr peptides were carried out. The β2 chain was found to be heterogeneous comprising a minor component amounting to 11%. This later showed changes at two positions 9 and 14 in the first 30 residues sequenced.

The complete amino acid sequence of mohair protein, SCMKB-M1.2 (97 residues), was determined. The protein was isolated from reduced and carboxymethylated mohair by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose phosphate. Peptides for sequence determination were obtained by digestion with trypsin, pepsin, chymotrypsin, thermolysin and papain, and were fractionated by DEAE-cellulose chromatography, paper chromatography and electrophoresis. The sequence of the peptides were determined by the Edman degradation method (by use of both the Beckman Sequence and a non-automatic procedure), and by partial acid hydrolysis. The protein is closely homologous to wool protein SCMKB-IIIB2, and also contains acetylated alanine as N-terminal amino acid.

A simplified procedure was developed for the preparation of hemopexin from Cohn fraction IV obtained from partially hemolyzed pooled samples of serum. The method is based on precipitation with rivanol, chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, and gel filtration; it permits large quantities of the material to be treated on a laboratory scale. The preparation of heme-rich hemopexin obtained was characterized by amino acid analysis and the following N-terminal amino acid sequence: Thr-Pro-Leu-Pro-Arg-Gly-Ser-Ala-His-Gly-Asn-Val-Ala-Glu-Gly-Glu-Thr(Thr)Thr-Asn-Pro-Asp-Val-(Gly)(Leu).

Abstract Background Serratiopeptidase is an alkaline metalloendopeptidase, which acquired wide significance because of its therapeutic applications. The present study was undertaken for purification, characterization, and structural elucidation of serratiopeptidase produced from Streptomyces hydrogenans var. MGS13. Result The crude enzyme was purified by precipitating with ammonium sulfate, dialysis, and Sephadex gel filtration, resulting in 34% recovery with a 12% purification fold. The purified enzyme S.AMP13 was spotted as a single clear hydrolytic band on casein zymogram and whose molecular weight was found to be 32 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The inhibitor and stability studies revealed that this enzyme is metalloprotease, thermostable, and alkaline in nature. The maximum serratiopeptidase activity was observed at 37 °C and pH 9.0. The partial amino acid sequence of the purified enzyme S.AMP13 by LC-MS/MS analysis shows the closest sequence similarities with previously reported alkaline metalloendopeptidases. The amino acid sequence alignment of S.AMP13 shared a conserved C-terminus region with peptidase-M10 serralysin superfamily at amino acid positions 128–147, i.e., ANLSTRATDTVYGFNSTAGR revealed that this enzyme is a serralysin-like protease. The kinetic studies of the purified enzyme revealed a Km of 1 mg/mL for its substrate casein and Vmax of 319 U/mL/min. The 3D structure of the purified enzyme was modeled by using SWISS-MODEL, and the quality of the structure was authenticated by assessing the Ramachandran plot using PROCHECK server, which suggested that the enzyme was stable with good quality. Conclusion Inhibitor, stability, electrophoretic, and bioinformatic studies suggested that the purified enzyme obtained from S. hydrogenans var. MGS13 is a serralysin-like protease.

A 9000-Mr Ca2+-binding protein was isolated from rat placenta and purified to homogeneity by h.p.l.c. procedures. The complete amino acid sequence was established for the 78-residue placental protein. A sequence analysis of a minor component of the rat intestinal Ca2+-binding protein (residues 4-78) and a tryptic peptide (residues 55-74), both purified by h.p.l.c., showed both proteins to be identical. Thus this placental 9000-Mr Ca2+-binding protein is the same gene product as the intestinal Ca2+-binding protein whose synthesis is dependent on vitamin D.
