title: Isolation and complete amino acid sequence of the mitochondrial ATP synthase epsilon-subunit of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
abstract: All five subunits of yeast mitochondrial F1-ATPase have been isolated by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography. This procedure allows micro-preparative purification of all the subunits with 60% recoveries. The complete amino acid sequence of the epsilon-subunit has been established. This has been achieved by the sequence analysis of subnanomole amounts of the intact molecule and that of peptides derived by enzymatic digestion with endoproteinase Arg-C and by chemical cleavage with hydroxylamine. Yeast ATP synthase epsilon-subunit is composed of 61 residues with a calculated molecular mass of 6612 Da. This polypeptide is rather basic since it contains 7 basic residues and 3 acidic residues. This study shows a slight similarity with the bovine epsilon-subunit ATP synthase since there are 16 identical residues.
