Primary structure of yeast proteinase B inhibitor 2
The Journal of Biological Chemistry
|December 25, 1979
Abstract:
The complete amino acid sequence of yeast proteinase B inhibitor 2 (IB2) was determined to be H3N+-Thr-Lys-Asn-Phe-Ile-Val-Thr-Leu-Lys-Lys-Asn-Thr-Pro-Asp-Val-Glu-Ala-Lys-Lys-Phe-Leu-Asp-Ser-Val-His-His-Ala-Gly-Gly-Ser-Ile-Leu-His-Glu-Phe-Asp-Ile-Ile-Lys-Gly-Tyr-Thr-Ile-Lys-Val-Pro-Asp-Val-Leu-His-Leu-Asn-Lys-Leu-Lys-Glu-Lys-His-Asn-Asp-Val-Ile-Glu-Asn-Val-Glu-Asp-Lys-Glu-Val-His-Thr-Asn-COO-. Elucidation of the primary structure was enabled by automated Edman degradation and COOH-terminal hydrolysis with carboxypeptidases A (bovine pancreas and Y (yeast). IB2 is the first proteinase inhibitor to be sequenced that possesses a structure devoid of disulfide bridges.
