The amino acid sequence of human pancreatic ribonuclease.
The primary structure of human (Homo sapiens) pancreatic ribonuclease has been determined by automatic sequencing of the native protein and by analysis of peptides obtained by cleavage with proteolytic enzymes, cyanogen bromide, and hydroxylamine. The following sequence was deduced: (sequence in text). Human pancreatic ribonuclease differs at 37 positions from bovine pancreatic ribonuclease. In addition the human enzyme has three more residues at the C-terminus. About half of the enzyme molecules contain carbohydrate attached to the sequence Asn-Met-Thr (34-36). Two other Asn-X-Ser/Thr sequences are carbohydrate free. Human pancreatic ribonuclease contains many positively charged residues, especially near the N-terminus, while negatively charged residues are more concentrated near the C-terminus.
