The amino acid sequence around the reactive cysteine residue in human plasma Factor XII.

ABSTRACT: 1. Activated human plasma factor XIII was 65% inhibited by iodo[(14)C]acetate and incorporated 0.6 mol of label into the alpha subunit, which eventually was allowed to form a precipitate. 2. All the label was recovered as S-carboxymethylcysteine in a tetra-peptide of sequence Gly-Gln-Cys-Trp.

Amino acid sequences around the cysteine residue of calf lens -crystallin.

Project description:1. Calf lens alpha-crystallin was carboxymethylated with radioactive sodium iodoacetate to label the thiol group. 2. The protein was then digested with trypsin or alternatively fractionated in urea to obtain the acidic (A) chains, which were then digested with trypsin. Either procedure gave two radioactive peptides containing carboxymethylcysteine. 3. These two peptides were closely related: the longer form contained 28 amino acid residues, and the shorter lacked two residues at the N-terminal end of the longer form. 4. The amino acid sequence of the peptides have been determined. 5. No evidence for the presence of more than one cysteine residue/chain was found. 6. The question of the molecular weight of the chains is discussed.

The amino acid sequence around the active-site cysteine and histidine residues, and the buried cysteine residue in ficin.

Project description:Ficin that had been prepared from the latex of Ficus glabrata by salt fractionation and chromatography on carboxymethylcellulose was completely and irreversibly inhibited with 1,3-dibromo[2-(14)C]acetone and then treated with N-(4-dimethylamino-3,5-dinitrophenyl)maleimide in 6m-guanidinium chloride. After reduction and carboxymethylation of the labelled protein, it was digested with trypsin and alpha-chymotrypsin. Two radioactive peptides and two coloured peptides were isolated chromatographically and their sequences determined. The radioactive peptides revealed the amino acid sequences around the active-site cysteine and histidine residues and showed a high degree of homology with the omino acid sequence around the active-site cysteine and histidine residues in papain. The coloured peptides allowed the amino acid sequence around the buried cysteine residue in ficin to be determined.

The amino acid sequence around four cysteine residues in trout actin.

Project description:Four unique carboxymethylcysteine-containing peptides were isolated from tryptic and chymotryptic digests of trout muscle actin carboxymethylated with iodo[2-(14)C]acetic acid in 6m-guanidinium chloride. The amino acid sequences of these peptides were determined and showed a high degree of homology with the corresponding sequences from rabbit actin. One of the radioactive peptides was the C-terminal peptide and another sequence probably contained the cysteine residue from the N-terminal region of the protein.

Bovine pepsinogens and pepsins. The sequence around a reactive aspartyl residue.

Project description:The specific inhibitor, N-diazoacetylnorleucine methyl ester reacts stoicheiometrically with bovine pepsin resulting in a simultaneous loss of all enzymic activity. A peptide containing a modified aspartyl group was isolated from bovine pepsin labelled with (14)C-labelled inhibitor. The aspartic acid residue is presumed to be part of the active centre and is in the same heptapeptide sequence as in porcine pepsin: Ile-Val-Asp-Thr-Gly-Thr-Ser.

Amino acid sequence around the thiol and reactive acyl groups of human complement component C4.

Project description:Activation of the fourth component of complement (C4) by C1s results in the generation of a reactive acyl group, able to react with putrescine, and in the release of a free thiol group that cannot be detected in the native haemolytically active molecule. Both the reactive acyl group and the free thiol group have been shown to reside in C4d, a fragment of the alpha'-chain of C4b derived from digestion of the molecule with the control proteins C3b inactivator and C4-binding protein. Peptides derived from CNBr digestion of [1,4-14C]putrescine-labelled and iodo(2-14C]acetic acid-labelled C4d have been obtained and used to establish a continuous sequence of 88 residues from the N-terminus of the molecule. The thiol and reactive acyl groups are contained in an octapeptide that shows near identity with the equivalent sequences reported for alpha 2-macroglobulin and C3. Other adjacent short sections also show homology of sequence between the three proteins, and it is highly likely that they contribute to the overall structure that gives a unique reactivity to the thiol ester bond postulated to exist in the native forms of the three proteins.

The amino acid sequence around the active-site cysteine and histidine residues of stem bromelain.

Project description:Stem bromelain that had been irreversibly inhibited with 1,3-dibromo[2-(14)C]-acetone was reduced with sodium borohydride and carboxymethylated with iodoacetic acid. After digestion with trypsin and alpha-chymotrypsin three radioactive peptides were isolated chromatographically. The amino acid sequences around the cross-linked cysteine and histidine residues were determined and showed a high degree of homology with those around the active-site cysteine and histidine residues of papain and ficin.

Amino acid sequence around the active-site serine residue in the acyltransferase domain of goat mammary fatty acid synthetase.

Project description:Goat mammary fatty acid synthetase was labelled in the acyltransferase domain by formation of O-ester intermediates by incubation with [1-14C]acetyl-CoA and [2-14C]malonyl-CoA. Tryptic-digest and CNBr-cleavage peptides were isolated and purified by high-performance reverse-phase and ion-exchange liquid chromatography. The sequences of the malonyl- and acetyl-labelled peptides were shown to be identical. The results confirm the hypothesis that both acetyl and malonyl groups are transferred to the mammalian fatty acid synthetase complex by the same transferase. The sequence is compared with those of other fatty acid synthetase transferases.

Amino acid sequence of a peptide containing the active cysteine residue of histidine ammonia-lyase.

Project description:1. Oxidized (polymerized) histidine ammonia-lyase from Pseudomonas testosteroni was activated with dithiothreitol and the reduced disulphide-linked cysteine residues of the native enzyme were carboxymethylated with iodo[(14)C]acetate. 2. The activity of the carboxymethylated enzyme was similar to that of the polymerized form and approx. 15% of that of the fully reduced form. 3. A tryptic digest of the [(14)C]carboxymethylated enzyme contained only one radioactive peptide. 4. The amino acid sequence of this peptide was shown to be Gly-Leu-Leu-Asp-Gly-Ser-Ala-Ile-Asn-Pro-Ser-His-Pro-Asn-Cys- (CH(2)CO(2)H)-Gly-Arg. 5. These findings show that, during polymerization, the disulphide bonds are formed between identical regions of the enzyme, and that the cysteine residue involved is also the one required in the reduced state for full activity of the enzyme.

Discovery of a 29-Amino-Acid Reactive Abiotic Peptide for Selective Cysteine Arylation.

Project description:The regio- and chemoselective modification of proteins or peptides with chemical reagents is often challenging. One approach to overcome this problem involves identifying abiotic polypeptide sequences that react with specific small molecules. Toward this goal, we profiled ∼5 × 1013 randomized 30-mer peptides using mRNA display and high-throughput sequencing in search of polypeptides that can undergo cysteine arylation with a water-soluble perfluoroarene. Within this vast chemical space, we discovered a cysteine-containing sequence with a second-order rate constant of 0.29 M-1 s-1 for arylation. An N- and C-terminal truncation reduced the reaction rate, as did the addition of denaturants. When the reactive peptide was covalently fused to the enzyme Sortase A, we observed regiospecific arylation at a single cysteine site, leaving the enzyme's active site cysteine unchanged. Taken together, these results demonstrate that long polypeptides of defined sequence, when matched with the appropriate reactive group, can be used for selective arylation of cysteine in water.

Sculpting a Uniquely Reactive Cysteine Residue for Site-Specific Antibody Conjugation.

Project description:Catalytic antibody 38C2 and its humanized version h38C2 harbor a uniquely reactive lysine at the bottom of a 11 Å deep pocket that permits site-specific conjugation of β-diketone-, β-lactam-, and heteroaryl methylsulfonyl-functionalized small and large molecules. Various dual variable domain formats pair a tumor-targeting antibody with h38C2 to enable precise, fast, and stable assembly of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). Here, we expand the scope of this ADC assembly strategy by mutating h38C2's reactive lysine to a cysteine. X-ray crystallography of this point mutant, h38C2_K99C, confirmed a deeply buried unpaired cysteine. Probing h38C2_K99C with maleimide, monobromomaleimide, and dibromomaleimide derivatives of a fluorophore revealed highly disparate conjugation efficiencies and stabilities. Dibromomaleimide emerged as a suitable electrophile for the precise, fast, efficient, and stable assembly of ADCs with the h38C2_K99C module. Mass spectrometry indicated the presence of a thio-monobromomaleimide linkage which was further supported by in silico docking studies. Using a dibromomaleimide derivative of the highly potent tubulin polymerization inhibitor monomethyl auristatin F, h38C2_K99C-based ADCs were found to be as potent as h38C2-based ADCs and afford a new assembly route for ADCs with single and dual payloads.
