The N- and c-terminal amino acid sequences of the heavy chain from a pathological human immunoglobulin IgG.


ABSTRACT: The heavy chain of a pathological human immunoglobulin IgG and also the Fd fragment have been isolated. No free alpha-amino group was present on either and the N-terminal sequence of both has been identified as pyrrolid-2-one-5-carbonylvalylthreonine. Splitting at the four methionine residues of the heavy chain with cyanogen bromide gave five fractions. The fraction from the C-terminal end of the chain was isolated in high yield and the amino acid sequence was: His-Glu-Ala-Leu-His-Asp(NH(2))-His-Tyr-Thr-Glu(NH(2))-Lys-Ser-Leu-Ser-Leu-Ser-Pro-Gly These results give strong support to the view that the heavy chain of immunoglobulin is a single peptide chain.
