A glutaminyl cyclase (QC) that is probably involved in the biosynthesis of pyroglutamyl peptides such as gonadotropin-releasing hormone and thyrotropin-releasing hormone has been purified to homogeneity from bovine anterior pituitary. On the basis of N-terminal sequence analysis, a 2088-base-pair cDNA clone was isolated from a bovine anterior pituitary library. From the nucleotide sequence of this clone, the primary structure of a 330-residue protein and a preceding 31-residue prepropeptide sequ ...[more]
