title: [Determination of the primary structure of alfalfa mosaic virus (strain S) coat protein. II. Complete sequence of the protein (author's transl)].
abstract: The alfalfa mosaic virus protein was submitted to the action of cyanogen bromide. Four peptides were isolated. Study of these peptides allowed us to determine the order. Then protein was submitted, after S-carboxymethylation or S-aminoethylation, to the action of different proteolytic enzymes: trypsin, chymotrypsin, thermolysin and papain. The peptides issued from these different hydrolysis were separated on Dowex 50 X4 and Dowex 1 X2, and their amino acid composition was determined. The use of classical methods of sequence determination, of mass spectrometry and for one case the use of a sequencer, lead to the obtention of the primary structure of all the tryptic peptides. The studies of chymotryptic, thermolytic and papainic hydrolysates, and of cyanogen bromide rupture, allowed us to isolate the overlapping peptides which were necessary for the reconstitution of the complete proteic chain.
