Purification and primary structure of C-1027-AG, a selective antagonist of antitumor antibiotic C-1027, from Streptomyces globisporus.
C-1027-AG, a selective antagonist of antitumor antibiotic C-1027, was isolated by column chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, butyl-Toyopearl and Sephadex G-50 from a culture filtrate of Streptomyces globisporus. The amino acid sequence of purified C-1027-AG was determined with a protein sequencer on the basis of fragment peptides obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis with lysylendopeptidase, V8 protease, endopeptidase AspN and chymotrypsin, after performic acid oxidation. C-1027-AG is shown to consist of a single polypeptide chain cross-linked by two disulfide bonds, and to contain a total of 110 amino acid residues with alanine and glycine as its amino- and carboxyl-termini, respectively; its molecular weight was calculated to be 10,500 daltons. The primary structure of C-1027-AG is indicated to be identical to the protein moiety of C-1027, and is highly homologous to the sequences of antitumor proteins obtained from other Streptomyces species.
