The complete amino acid sequence of human complement factor H.

ABSTRACT: The complete amino acid sequence of the human complement system regulatory protein, factor H, has been derived from sequencing three overlapping cDNA clones. The sequence consists of 1213 amino acids arranged in 20 homologous units, each about 60 amino acids long, and an 18-residue leader sequence. The 60-amino-acid-long repetitive units are homologous with those found in a large number of other complement and non-complement proteins. Two basic C-terminal residues, deduced from the cDNA sequence, are absent from factor H isolated from outdated plasma. A tyrosine/histidine polymorphism was observed within the seventh homologous repeat unit of factor H. This is likely to represent a difference between the two major allelic variants of factor H. The nature of the cDNA clones indicates that there is likely to be an alternative splicing mechanism, resulting in the formation of at least two species of factor H mRNA.

Complete amino acid sequence of the A chain of human complement-classical-pathway enzyme C1r.

Project description:The amino acid sequence of human C1r A chain was determined, from sequence analysis performed on fragments obtained from C1r autolytic cleavage, cleavage of methionyl bonds, tryptic cleavages at arginine and lysine residues, and cleavages by staphylococcal proteinase. The polypeptide chain has an N-terminal serine residue and contains 446 amino acid residues (Mr 51,200). The sequence data allow chemical characterization of fragments alpha (positions 1-211), beta (positions 212-279) and gamma (positions 280-446) yielded from C1r autolytic cleavage, and identification of the two major cleavage sites generating these fragments. Position 150 of C1r A chain is occupied by a modified amino acid residue that, upon acid hydrolysis, yields erythro-beta-hydroxyaspartic acid, and that is located in a sequence homologous to the beta-hydroxyaspartic acid-containing regions of Factor IX, Factor X, protein C and protein Z. Sequence comparison reveals internal homology between two segments (positions 10-78 and 186-257). Two carbohydrate moieties are attached to the polypeptide chain, both via asparagine residues at positions 108 and 204. Combined with the previously determined sequence of C1r B chain [Arlaud & Gagnon (1983) Biochemistry 22, 1758-1764], these data give the complete sequence of human C1r.

Amino acid sequence of the trypsin-generated C3d fragment from human complement factor C3.

Project description:Human C3d (try-C3d), prepared from trypsin-digested C3, was fragmented by cleavage with CNBr. Eight peptides were defined and separated by h.p.l.c. on reversed-phase columns. By automatic Edman degradation the complete sequences of five peptides and partial sequences of three peptides were determined. To obtain overlapping peptides the latter three fragments were digested with trypsin, chymotrypsin or Staphylococcus aureus V8 proteinase, after which the fragments were separated on reversed-phase columns. Two of the CNBr-cleavage peptides were completely sequenced, and 70% of the sequence of the remaining CNBr-cleavage peptide was determined. The non-sequenced part represents a very hydrophobic segment of try-C3d. The sequence data obtained represent 90% of the primary structure of try-C3d. Alignment of the CNBr-cleavage fragments was made easier by comparison with the cDNA sequence of mouse pro-C3 [Wetsel, Lundwall, Davidson, Gibson, Tack & Fey (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 13857-13862]. Comparison of try-C3d with the equivalent part of human C4B revealed an extensive sequence homology in the N-terminal half of the molecules.

Primary structure of bovine complement activation fragment C4a, the third anaphylatoxin. Purification and complete amino acid sequence.

Project description:Purification of C4a from heat-activated bovine plasma by elution from CM-Sephadex C-50 at pH 7.4 and gel filtration on Sephadex G-50 gives a 20% yield of pure C4a. The complete amino acid sequence of bovine C4a has been determined by automatic sequencer degradation of CNBr and enzymic fragments, and by carboxypeptidase digestion. The 77-residue bovine sequence shows 12 differences from the human sequence with five of these differences occurring in the C-terminal 11 residues. The sequence of C4a confirms earlier suggestions of homology with C3a and C5a: the three sequences show an almost equal number of identities with each other. The six cysteine residues of the 'disulphide knot' are conserved as well as seven other residues including the C-terminal arginine.

The complete amino acid sequence of human skeletal-muscle fructose-bisphosphate aldolase.

Project description:The complete amino acid sequence of human skeletal-muscle fructose-bisphosphate aldolase, comprising 363 residues, was determined. The sequence was deduced by automated sequencing of CNBr-cleavage, o-iodosobenzoic acid-cleavage, trypsin-digest and staphylococcal-proteinase-digest fragments. Comparison of the sequence with other class I aldolase sequences shows that the mammalian muscle isoenzyme is one of the most highly conserved enzymes known, with only about 2% of the residues changing per 100 million years. Non-mammalian aldolases appear to be evolving at the same rate as other glycolytic enzymes, with about 4% of the residues changing per 100 million years. Secondary-structure predictions are analysed in an accompanying paper [Sawyer, Fothergill-Gilmore & Freemont (1988) Biochem. J. 249, 789-793].

Characterization of primary amino acid sequence of human complement control protein factor I from an analysis of cDNA clones.

Project description:A cDNA clone of the mRNA coding for the human complement system control protein Factor I has been isolated. The predicted amino acid sequence obtained from the DNA sequence demonstrates a protein consisting of a heavy chain (Mr 35,400) linked to a light chain (Mr 27,600), both of which contain three sites for N-linked glycosylation. The light chain has clear homology with other serine proteinases, most notably in the region of the catalytically active and structurally important amino acids and shares some of the features characteristic of the plasminogen activators. The heavy chain has a clear 'mosaic' nature typical of the plasma serine proteinases; in particular it contains class A and class B LDL (low-density lipoprotein) receptor repeats with conserved cysteine residues similar to those found in other complement proteins.

Amino acid sequence of the Bb fragment from human complement Factor B. Alignment of the cyanogen bromide-cleavage peptides.

Project description:The alignment of all the CNBr-cleavage peptides of fragment Bb from human Factor B (a component of the alternative pathway of complement) was determined. This was derived from cleavage of the fragment Bb at arginine residues by using trypsin and clostripain. Details of the isolation and amino acid sequences of these peptides are given. Together with previously published N-terminal sequences of the CNBr-cleavage peptides [Christie & Gagnon (1982) Biochem. J. 201, 555-567], this provides the amino acid sequence of the N-terminal half of fragment Bb.

Complete amino acid sequence and homologies of human erythrocyte membrane protein band 4.2.

Project description:The complete amino acid sequence for human erythrocyte band 4.2 has been derived from the nucleotide sequence of a full-length 2.35-kilobase (kb) cDNA. The 2.35-kb cDNA was isolated from a human reticulocyte cDNA library made in the expression vector lambda gt11. Of the 2348 base pairs (bp), 2073 bp encode 691 amino acids representing 76.9 kDa (the SDS/PAGE molecular mass is 72 kDa). RNA blot analysis of human reticulocyte total RNA gives a message size for band 4.2 of 2.4 kb. The amino acid sequence of band 4.2 has homology with two closely related Ca2(+)-dependent cross-linking proteins, guinea pig liver transglutaminase (protein-glutamine gamma-glutamyltransferase; protein-glutamine: amine gamma-glutamyltransferase, EC 2.3.2.13) (32% identity in a 446-amino acid overlap) and the a subunit of human coagulation factor XIII (27% identity in a 639-amino acid overlap), a transglutaminase that forms intermolecular gamma-glutamyl-epsilon-lysine bonds between fibrin molecules. The region of greatest identity includes a 49-amino acid stretch of band 4.2, which is 69% and 51% identical with guinea pig liver transglutaminase and the a subunit of factor XIII, respectively, within the regions that contain the active sites of these enzymes. Significantly, within the five contiguous consensus residues of the transglutaminase active site, Gly-Gln-Cys-Trp-Val, band 4.2 has an alanine substituted for cysteine (which is apparently essential for activity). Consistent with this active site substitution, erythrocyte membranes or inside-out vesicles, which contain band 4.2, show no evidence of transglutaminase activity by two types of in vitro assay.

Complete nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequence of human beta 2-glycoprotein I.

Project description:The nucleotide and complete amino acid sequence for the human beta 2-glycoprotein I (beta 2I) was derived by sequencing the cDNA clone pB2I-1. In addition to the 326 amino acid residues of the mature protein this clone codes for a putative leader peptide and contains sequence representing 5' and 3' untranslated regions. When this amino acid sequence was compared with the previously published primary sequence, three major amino acid substitutions were found, two involving cysteine residues. These substitutions lead to a new alignment of the complement control protein (CCP) repeats present in beta 2I and a prediction of the complete disulphide bond organization. Northern-blot analysis indicates that hepatocytes are a major site of biosynthesis for this protein. A transcription signal of about 1.5 kb was detected by using RNA from HepG2 cells.

Human serum amyloid A protein. Complete amino acid sequence of a new variant.

Project description:Serum amyloid A protein (SAA), an acute-phase reactant and apolipoprotein of high-density lipoprotein, is a polymorphic protein with six reported isoforms. These are the products of three genes, i.e., cDNA pA1, cDNA pSAA82 and genomic DNA SAAg9, the last two being allelic variants at a single locus. We have identified an individual with additional novel SAA isoforms on isoelectric-focusing analysis. By using 3-bromo-3-methyl-2-(2'-nitrophenylsulphenyl)-indolenine (BNPS-skatole) cleavage of the protein at tryptophan residues we obtained the complete amino acid sequence of a novel isoform. Additional cleavage by endoproteinase Asp-N allowed verification of the tryptophan residues and complete amino acid sequence of both isoforms. The suitability of this approach to the rapid sequencing of SAA was demonstrated. Sequence analysis and quantification suggest that these isoforms are the result of the first confirmed allelic variation at the SAA1 locus. We designate the protein products of this allele SAA1 beta (pI 6.1) and SAA1 beta des-Arg (pI 5.6).

The complete amino acid sequence of yeast phosphoglycerate kinase.

Project description:The complete amino acid sequence of yeast phosphoglycerate kinase, comprising 415 residues, was determined. The sequence of residues 1-173 was deduced mainly from nucleotide sequence analysis of a series of overlapping fragments derived from the relevant portion of a 2.95-kilobase endonuclease-HindIII-digest fragment containing the yeast phosphoglycerate kinase gene. The sequence of residues 174-415 was deduced mainly from amino acid sequence analysis of three CNBr-cleavage fragments, and from peptides derived from these fragments after digestion by a number of proteolytic enzymes. Cleavage at the two tryptophan residues with o-iodosobenzoic acid was also used to isolate fragments suitable for amino acid sequence analysis. Determination of the complete sequence now allows a detailed interpretation of the existing high-resolution X-ray-crystallographic structure. The sequence -Ile-Ile-Gly-Gly-Gly- occurs twice in distant parts of the linear sequence (residues 232-236 and 367-371). Both these regions contribute to the nucleoside phosphate-binding site. A comparison of the sequence of yeast phosphoglycerate kinase reported here with the sequences of phosphoglycerate kinase from horse muscle and human erythrocytes shows that the yeast enzyme is 64% identical with the mammalian enzymes. The yeast has strikingly fewer methionine, cysteine and tryptophan residues.
