1. The formation of a complex between troponin I and troponin C that is stable in 6M-urea and dependent on Ca2+ was demonstrated in extracts of vertebrate striated and smooth muscles. 2. A method using troponin I coupled to Sepharose is described for the rapid isolation of troponin C from striated and smooth muscles of vertebrates. 3. Troponin C of rabbit cardiac muscle differs significantly in amino acid composition from troponin C of skeletal muscle. The primary structures of troponin C of red and white skeletal muscle are very similar. 4. The troponin C-like protein isolated from rabbit uterus muscle has a slightly different amino acid composition, but possess many similar properties to the forms of troponin C isolated from other muscle types. 5. The electrophoretic mobilities of the I-troponin C complexes formed from components isolated from different muscle types are determined by the troponin I component.

Abstract The highly cationic proteins of human granulocytes, whose electrophoretic mobilities toward the cathode are faster than that for lysozyme, were isolated from the cytoplasmic granules of leukocytes, obtained from patients with chronic myeloid leukemia. The granule extract was subjected to chromatography on Sephadex G-75 and E-aminocaproic acid-Sepharose ion adsorbant followed by preparative electrophoresis on agarose. Seven cationic protein components were identified, and five of these were obtained in a pure form. One group of cationic proteins, including components 1-4, exhibited molecular weights in the range 25,500-28,500, almost identical amino acid composition, and complete immunologic identity. Another group of proteins, including components 5-7, exhibited molecular weights in the range 21,000-29,000 and also showed complete immunologic identity; amino acid analysis performed on component 5 indicated a different amino acid composition from that of components 1-4. Cationic proteins with similar electrophoretic mobilities and immunochemical identities were also detected in granule extracts of granulocytes from healthy individuals. The proteins isolated from human granulocytes have a higher molecular weight and a lower content of basic amino acids than the cationic proteins with antibacterial and permeability-increasing properties previously demonstrated in rabbit polymorphonuclear granulocytes.

Denaturation of rabbit skeletal-muscle AMP deaminase in acidic medium followed by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose in 8 M urea at pH 8.0 allows separation of two main peptide components of similar apparent molecular mass (75–80 kDa) that we tentatively assume correspond to two different enzyme subunits. Whereas the amino acid composition of one of the two peptides is in good agreement with that derived from the nucleotide sequence of the known rat and human AMPD1 cDNAs, the second component shows much higher contents of proline, glycine and histidine. N-Terminal sequence analysis of the fragments liberated by limited proteolysis with trypsin of the novel peptide reveals a striking similarity to the fragments produced by plasmin cleavage of the rabbit plasma protein called histidine–proline-rich glycoprotein (HPRG). However, some divergence is observed between the sequence of one of the fragments liberated from AMP deaminase by a more extensive trypsinization and rabbit plasma HPRG in the region containing residues 472–477. A fragment with a blocked N-terminus, which was found among those liberated by proteolysis with pepsin of either whole AMP deaminase or the novel component of the enzyme, shows an amino acid composition quite different from that of the N-terminus of the known subunit of AMP deaminase. By coupling this observation with the detection in freshly prepared AMP deaminase of a low yield of the sequence (LTPTDX) corresponding to that of HPRG N-terminus, it can be deduced that in comparison with HPRG, the putative HPRG-like component of AMP deaminase contains an additional fragment with a blocked N-terminus, which is liberated by a proteolytic process during purification of the enzyme. The implications of the association to rabbit skeletal-muscle AMP deaminase of a HPRG-like protein species are discussed.

1. An acidic protein with properties similar to those of troponin C from rabbit skeletal muscle has been shown to be present in bovine and rabbit smooth muscles, chicken gizzard and rabbit liver, kidney and lung. 2. A simple new method involving the use of organic solvents is described for the purification of the troponin C-like proteins from various tissues. 3. The troponin C-like proteins can be distinguished from rabbit skeletal-muscle toponin C by their electrophoretic behaviour on polyacrylamide gels at pH 8.3 in the presence and absence of Ca2+. The troponin C-like proteins have been shown to form complexes with rabbit skeletal-muscle troponin I that migrate on electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels. 4. Behaviour on electrophoresis, amino acid analysis and the patterns of CNBr digests on polyacrylamide gels indicate that the troponin C-like proteins from bovine uterus and aorta, rabbit uterus, and liver and chicken gizzard are very similar to, if not identical with, bovine brain modulator protein. 5. With bovine cardiac muscle the organic-solvent method yields a preparation consisting of roughly similar amounts of troponin C and troponin C-like protein. 6. By the isotope-dilution technique, troponin C-like protein has been shown to represent 0.42% of the total protein in rabbit uterus. 7. In homogenates of smooth muscle, rabbit lung, kidney and brain, the troponin C-like proteins form a complex with other protein (or proteins) that requires Ca2+ for its formation and that is not dissociated in 9M-urea.

Various fragments derived from rabbit skeletal muscle troponin-T (Tn-T) by chemical and (or) proteolytic cleavage were mixed with whole troponin-I (Tn-I) and applied to a Sephadex G-75 gel filtration column in order to determine the binding site of Tn-I on Tn-T. This site of interaction was found to span two distinct regions of Tn-T. The first site involves the highly acidic NH2-terminal fragment CB3 (residues 1–70 of Tn-T). A second separate site is located in the region of residues 152–209 of Tn-T. The present study, in conjunction with our earlier work on tropomyosin – Tn-T binding and Tn-T – troponin-C binding, depicts Tn-T as being a functionally efficient molecule composed of several distinct domains of specialized amino acid sequence, each of which carries out a role in the binding of a different protein.

Troponin C

1. Bovine cardiac-muscle troponin C was digested at cysteine residues 35 and 84, and the C-terminal peptide (residues 84-161) was isolated. 2. The C-terminal peptide contains two Ca2+-binding sites. These sites bind Ca2+ with a binding constant of 2.0×10(8) M-1. In the presence of 2 mM-Mg2+ the binding constant for Ca2+ is decreased to 3.70×10(7) M-1. The corresponding constants for native troponin C are 5.90×10(7) M-1. and 2.90×10(7) M-1 respectively. 3. Electrophoretic mobility of the C-terminal peptide is increased in the presence of 0.1 mM-CaCl2 as compared with the mobility in the presence of 2mM-EDTA. The same phenomenon was observed when electrophoresis was performed in the presence of 6 M-urea or 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulphate. 4. When saturated with Ca2+, the C-terminal peptide forms complexes with bovine cardiac-muscle troponin I both in the absence and in the presence of 6 M-urea. This complex is dissociated on removal of Ca2+. 5. The data suggest that the C-terminal peptide of troponin C contains two Ca2+/Mg2+-binding sites and interacts with troponin I. Thus, despite the 30% difference in amino acid composition, the properties of bovine cardiac-muscle troponin C C-terminal peptide are similar to those of rabbit skeletal-muscle troponin C C-terminal peptide.
