title: Yeast phosphoglycerate mutate. Cyanogen bromide cleavage and amino acid sequence of an active-site peptide.
abstract: The molecular weight and amino acid composition of phosphoglycerate mutase from yeast were determined. CNBr cleavage produced a large (190-residue) fragment and a small (60-residue) fragment. Tryptic and chymotryptic peptides derived from the large fragment were fractionated by ion-exchange chromatography. Peptides from two histidine-containing regions were isolated and the amino acid sequences were determined. Correlation of these data with X-ray-crystallographic evidence shows that the histidine residue in the sequence Arg-Leu Asn-Glu-Arg-His-Tyr-Gly-Asp-Leu-Glu-Gly-Lys is located at the active site.
