The sulfhydryl groups involved in the active site of myosin B adenosinetriphosphatase. IV. Structure around the Sa
Abstract:
The structure of a tryptic peptide containing one specific sulfhydryl group (Sa), which is responsible for the activation of Mg2+-ATPase of myosin B and is present in the light meromyosin region of the myosin molecule, was studied. The amino acid sequence was deduced to be Thr (or Ser)-Asn-Ala-Ala-Cys-Ala-Ala-Leu-Asp-Lys-Lys. In addition, a space-filling model around Sa was built up by comparing Sa-peptide with the amino acid sequence around Cys 190 of alpha-tropomyosin, and the high reactivity of Sa with N-ethylmaleimide is considered based on this model.

Aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase) is a cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the condensation of L-aspartate and carbamoyl phosphate to N-carbamoyl-L-aspartate. This reaction is the first step in pyrimidine biosynthesis. UTP and CTP, the end products of the pyrimidine synthesis pathway,...
