A corrected primary sequence for bull protamine.

J A Mazrimas, M Corzett, C Campos

    Biochimica Et Biophysica Acta
    |July 25, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Researchers corrected the bull protamine sequence, finding a 50-amino acid structure with a distinct tripeptide. This corrected sequence is conserved across diverse cattle breeds, refuting previous findings of variants.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Proteomics
    • Animal Genetics

    Background:

    • Bull protamine is crucial for sperm DNA packaging.
    • Previous studies established an amino acid sequence for bull protamine.
    • Accurate protein sequencing is vital for understanding biological function.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To re-determine the primary amino acid sequence of bull protamine.
    • To correct inaccuracies in the previously published bull protamine sequence.
    • To investigate the conservation of the corrected sequence across different cattle breeds.

    Main Methods:

    • High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) peptide mapping.
    • Automated amino acid sequencing.
    • Analysis of tryptic peptides from diverse Bos taurus and Bos indicus breeds.

    Main Results:

    • The previously published bull protamine sequence was found to be incorrect.
    • The corrected bull protamine sequence consists of 50 amino acids.
    • A specific tripeptide (Cys-39-Arg-40-Arg-41) was identified as differing from the old sequence.
    • This corrected sequence is conserved across nine diverse cattle breeds, indicating it is not a variant or mutation.

    Conclusions:

    • The primary sequence of bull protamine has been accurately redetermined.
    • The corrected sequence is conserved across various cattle breeds.
    • Previous reports of sequence variation for bull protamine are inaccurate.
