Amino acid sequence of bovine angiogenin.
The amino acid sequence and disulfide bridges of bovine plasma derived angiogenin were determined by sequencer analysis of the intact protein and fragments derived by enzymatic and chemical digestion. Bovine angiogenin is a single-chain protein of 125 amino acids; it contains six cysteines and has a calculated molecular weight of 14,595. In contrast to the human protein its amino terminus is unblocked. It has the following sequence: H2N-Ala1-Gln-Asp-Asp-Tyr-Arg-Tyr-Ile-His-Phe10-Leu-Thr-Gln-His-Tyr -Asp-Ala-Lys- Pro-Lys20-Gly-Arg-Asn-Asp-Glu-Tyr-Cys-Phe-Asn-Met30-Met-Lys- Asn-Arg-Arg-Leu-Thr - Arg-Pro-Cys40-Lys-Asp-Arg-Asn-Thr-Phe-Ile-His-Gly-Asn50-Lys- Asn-Asp-Ile-Lys-Ala - Ile-Cys-Glu-Asp60-Arg-Asn-Gly-Gln-Pro-Tyr-Arg-Gly-Asp-Leu70- Arg-Ile-Ser-Lys-Ser - Glu-Phe-Gln-Ile-Thr80-Ile-Cys-Lys-His-Lys-Gly-Ser-Ser-Arg90- Pro-Pro-Cys-Arg-Tyr - Gly-Ala-Thr-Glu-Asp100-Ser-Arg-Val-Ile-Val-Val-Gly-Cys-Glu-Asn1 10-Gly-Leu-Pro- Val-His-Phe-Asp-Glu-Ser-Phe120-Ile-Thr-Pro-Arg-His-OH. Disulfide bonds link Cys(27)-Cys(82), Cys(40)-Cys(93), and Cys(58)-Cys(108). Bovine angiogenin is 64% identical with human angiogenin; like the human protein, it is homologous to the pancreatic ribonucleases, with conservation of active site residues. Two regions, 6-22 and 65-75, are highly conserved between the angiogenins but are significantly different from those of the ribonucleases, suggesting a possible role in the molecules' biological activity.
