The amino acid sequence of cytochrome f from the brown alga Alaria esculenta (L.) Grev.

ABSTRACT: Cytochrome f was isolated from the brown alga Alaria esculenta and the amino acid sequence was determined. The native haemoprotein has a molecular weight of 9800 and consists of a single polypeptide chain of 86 amino acid residues with a haem group bonded to cysteine residues at positions 14 and 17. The N-terminus is not acetylated and no methylated lysines were found. Sequences of three other algal cytochromes f were compared with that of Alaria and 22 out of 92 positions were common to the four sequences. One-half of these conserved sites occur between positions 49 and 63. Detailed evidence for the amino acid sequence of Alaria cytochrome has been deposited as Supplementary Publication SUP 50048 (6 pages) at the British Library (Lending Division), Boston Spa, Wetherby, West Yorkshire LS23 7BQ, U.K., from whom copies can be obtained on the terms indicated in Biochem. J. (1975) 145, 5.

Complete Plastid Genome Sequence of the Brown Alga Undaria pinnatifida.

Project description:In this study, we fully sequenced the circular plastid genome of a brown alga, Undaria pinnatifida. The genome is 130,383 base pairs (bp) in size; it contains a large single-copy (LSC, 76,598 bp) and a small single-copy region (SSC, 42,977 bp), separated by two inverted repeats (IRa and IRb: 5,404 bp). The genome contains 139 protein-coding, 28 tRNA, and 6 rRNA genes; none of these genes contains introns. Organization and gene contents of the U. pinnatifida plastid genome were similar to those of Saccharina japonica. There is a co-linear relationship between the plastid genome of U. pinnatifida and that of three previously sequenced large brown algal species. Phylogenetic analyses of 43 taxa based on 23 plastid protein-coding genes grouped all plastids into a red or green lineage. In the large brown algae branch, U. pinnatifida and S. japonica formed a sister clade with much closer relationship to Ectocarpus siliculosus than to Fucus vesiculosus. For the first time, the start codon ATT was identified in the plastid genome of large brown algae, in the atpA gene of U. pinnatifida. In addition, we found a gene-length change induced by a 3-bp repetitive DNA in ycf35 and ilvB genes of the U. pinnatifida plastid genome.

The amino acid sequence of ferredoxin from the red alga Porphyra umbilicalis.

Project description:The amino acid sequence of the ferrodoxin of Porphyra umbilicalis was determined by the dansyl-phenyl isothiocyanate method, on peptides obtained by tryptic, chymotryptic and thermolytic digestion of the protein or its CNBr-cleavage fragments. The molecule consists of 98 residues, has an unblocked N-terminus and shows considerable similarity with other plant-type ferredoxins. It is the first reported sequence of a red-algal ferredoxin.

The amino acid sequence of a flavodoxin from the eukaryotic red alga Chondrus crispus.

Project description:The amino acid sequence of the constitutive flavodoxin from the red alga Chondrus crispus was determined from the analyses of peptide fragments derived by enzymic digestions of the carboxymethylated protein. This is the first sequence reported for a flavodoxin from a eukaryote. The protein is composed of 173 amino acid residues and is a member of the longer-chain group of flavodoxins. The extent of sequence homology to the three other flavodoxins in the group for which sequences are available is in the range 36-39%, with the most strongly conserved regions being those implicated in binding of the FMN, the redox-active prosthetic group. Nevertheless, Chondrus crispus flavodoxin stands apart in a number of respects, in particular the possession of an unusually high content of proline, with these residues distributed more or less regularly along the peptide chain.

Amino acid sequence of cytochrome c from Tetrahymena pyriformis Phenoset A.

Project description:The cytochrome c of Tetrahymena pyriformis GL (Phenoset A) had an isoelectric point of 6.5 and by sequence the following composition: Asp(7) Asn(2) Thr(4) Ser(8) Glu(6) Gln(2) Pro(7) Gly(13) Ala(13) Val(7) Met(2) Ile(5) Leu(6) Tyr(2) Phe(5) Lys(11) His(3) Trp(1) Arg(3) Cys(2) (total 109 residues). The peptides derived from the protein afforded complete overlap, so a complete sequence could be determined without reference of homologous proteins. Alignment with other mitochondrial cytochromes c required two internal deletions totalling three residues and an N-terminal region two residues longer than, and a C-terminal region one residue shorter than, the previously known limits. The sequence was the most divergent of the known mitochondrial cytochromes c, suggesting a distant relationship of ciliates to other eukaryotes. Details of the sequence data have been deposited as Supplementary Publication no. SUP 50068 (37 pages) at The British Library Lending Division, Boston Spa, Wetherby, West Yorkshire LS23 7 BQ, U.K., from whom copies can be obtained on the terms given in Biochem. J. (1976) 153,5.

Antioxidants from the Brown Alga Dictyopteris undulata.

Project description:An investigation of anti-oxidative compounds from the brown alga Dictyopteris undulata has led to the isolation and identification of isozonarol, isozonarone, chromazonarol, zonaroic acid and isozonaroic acid. Their structures were identified by comparison of MS and NMR spectra. Full NMR assignment and absolute configuration of isozonaroic acid are described. Isozonarol showed the most potent 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity among the compounds isolated.

Rattlesnake cytochrome c. A re-appraisal of the reported amino acid sequence.

Project description:The amino acid sequence of rattlesnake cytochrome c was originally reported in 1965, and was one of the earlier sequences to be studied. When compared with other mitochondrial cytochromes c, the snake sequence was soon seen to be anomalous. There were several positions in which the snake protein resembled human cytochrome c, although comparable anomalies were not reported for the protein from other reptiles such as lizard and turtle. Explanations of these results have included accelerated evolution in the snake lineage, paralogy rather than orthology, and faulty determination of the sequence, and the rattlesnake is now often omitted from cytochrome c phylogenetic trees. We have re-investigated the sequence of the snake protein, and believe that the correct sequence differs in nine places from that used for evolutionary theorizing since 1965. Four of these differences are near the haem-attachment site, in a region that was only analysed for amino acid composition in the original investigation. The other five differences are towards the C-terminus of the molecule, and can be explained as being due to the wrong ordering of amino acids within peptides that had been satisfactorily purified. Despite these corrections, the rattlesnake cytochrome c sequence still more closely resembles human cytochrome c than it does that of any other protein we know. We believe that this is an example of convergent evolution, although it does appear that there has been accelerated change in the line connecting the rattlesnake to the ancestral vertebrate line. Detailed evidence for the amino acid sequence of the protein has been deposited as Supplementary Publication SUP 50162 (16 pages) at the British Library Document Supply Centre, Boston Spa.

The amino acid sequence of cytochrome c' from Alcaligenes sp. N.C.I.B. 11015.

Project description:The amino acid sequence of the cytochrome c' from Alcaligenes sp. N.C.I.B. 11015 (Iwasaki's ;Pseudomonas denitrificans') has been determined. This organism is the only non-photosynthetic bacterium in which the protein has been found. The protein consists of a single polypeptide chain of 127 residues, with a single haem covalently attached to two cysteines. Unlike normal cytochromes c, the haem attachment site is very close to the C-terminus. The amino acid sequence around the haem attachment site is very similar to that of Chromatium vinosum D cytochrome c'. Detailed evidence for the amino acid sequence of the protein has been deposited as Supplementary Publication SUP 50022 at the British Library (Lending Division), (formerly the National Lending Library for Science and Technology), Boston Spa, Yorks.

The amino acid sequence of cytochrome c from Allium porrum L. (leek).

Project description:The amino acid sequence of leek cytochrome c was determined with 0.4mumol of protein. The sequence was deduced solely from a chymotryptic digest. The cytochrome was homologous with other plant cytochromes c of mitochondrial origin. Leek cytochrome c has an N-acetylated ;tail' as compared with mammalian cytochrome c, and two residues of epsilon-N-trimethyl-lysine. Unlike other plant cytochromes c, leek cytochrome c has glutamic acid or glutamine in position 11, leucine in position 20 and alanine in position 51. 4-Hydroxyproline partially substitutes for proline in position 79. Experimental details are given in a supplementary paper that has been deposited as Supplementary Publication SUP 50012, at the National Lending Library for Science and Technology, Boston Spa, Yorks.

The amino acid sequence of Phaseolus aureua L. (mung-bean) cytochrome c.

Project description:The amino acid sequence of Phaseolus aureus L. (mung-bean) cytochrome c has been determined. The molecule consists of a single polypeptide chain of 111 amino acid residues and is homologous with other mitochondrial cytochromes c. Comparison with the amino acid sequence of wheat-germ cytochrome c (Stevens, Glazer & Smith, 1967) shows 14 differences. On alignment with mammalian cytochromes c, mung-bean cytochrome c has an N-acetylated ;tail' of eight amino acid residues similar to that found in wheat-germ cytochrome c. Of the 22 positions in wheat-germ cytochrome c that contain amino acid residues unique to these positions, 20 were found to contain the same ones in mung-bean cytochrome c. The in-N-trimethyl-lysine residues reported for wheat-germ cytochrome c (Delange, Glazer & Smith, 1969) in positions 72 and 86 were also found in these positions in mung-bean cytochrome c. The sequence was determined from 3mumol, by using chymotryptic and tryptic peptides which were analysed by the ;dansyl'-Edman method (Gray & Hartley, 1963a), with confirmation by amino acid analysis.

The amino acid sequence of cytochrome c from Cucurbita maxima L. (pumpkin).

Project description:The amino acid sequence of pumpkin cytochrome c was determined on 2mumol of protein. Some evidence was found for the occurrence of two forms of cytochrome c, whose sequences differed in three positions. Pumpkin cytochrome c consists of 111 residues and is homologous with mitochondrial cytochromes c from other plants. Experimental details are given in a supplementary paper that has been deposited as Supplementary Publication SUP 50005 at the National Lending Library for Science and Technology, Boston Spa, Yorks.
