Amino-acid sequence of LC-1 light chain of squid mantle muscle myosin.
Tryptic and chymotryptic peptides of the LC-1 light chain of squid mantle muscle myosin were isolated and sequenced by conventional methods, so that the whole amino-acid sequence of the light chain was established. The light chain consisted of 159 amino-acid residues, and its N-terminal alpha-amino group is blocked. Comparing the established sequence with those of vertebrate muscle myosin light chains, only 35% sequence homology was recognized, but a conservative structure was observed in the third domain.
