The amino-acid sequence of troponin C from frog skeletal muscle.
The primary structure of the troponin C from skeletal muscle of the frog Rana esculenta has been determined. The amino acid sequence was deduced from amino acid determinations of peptides obtained after cleavage with cyanogen bromide. Overlapping peptides were isolated from tryptic digests of performic-acid-oxidized troponin C and phthalylated performic-acid-oxidized troponin C. All overlaps have been determined except for the Arg-Ile sequence at position 103--104, which has been obtained by comparison with homologous troponins C. Frog troponin C consists of one polypeptide chain containing 152 amino acids. The calculated molecular weight is 18299. There is a single cysteine residue at position 101 and a single tyrosine residue at position 112. No histidine or tryptophan residues are present. The amino-terminal amino acid is N-acetylated. The homology of frog troponin C with other skeletal and cardiac troponin C is briefly discussed.
