Amino acid sequence of two cyanogen bromide fragments of glycogen phosphorylase.
This communication presents the strategy and experimental details to prove the amino acid sequence of two large fragments of rabbit muscle glycogen phosphorylase generated by cleavage with cyanogen bromide. These fragments, CB18 and CB15, represent 241 of the 841 residues in the whole molecule. In addition to applying methods of automated liquid phase Edman degradation, techniques of selective immobilization and solid phase Edman degradation are used. One of the two cyanogen bromide fragments (CB15) contains two of the sites of cleavage with hydroxylamine which have proved to be important in the overall strategy of determining the complete sequence of this molecule. Together with the accompanying reports by Koide, A., et al., and Titani, K., et al. ((1978) Biochemistry 17 (first and third papers, respectively, in a series in this issue)), the present communication completes the proof of the amino acid sequence of phosphorylase and provides the basis for examining the relationship between its structure and function.
