Studies on algal cytochromes. III. Amino acid sequence of cytochrome c-553 from a brown alga, Petalonia fascia.
The amino acid sequence of a photosynthetic cytochrome c-553 isolated from a brown alga, Petalonia fascia was determined by BrCN fragmentation and a solid phase Edman degradation. The cytochrome contains 85 amino acid residues, giving a molecular weight of 9,803. The complete amino acid sequence is as follows: Val-Asp-Ile-Asn-Asn-Gly-Glu-Ser-Val-Phe-Thr-Ala-Asn-Cys-Ser-Ala-Cys-His-Ala-Gly -Gly-Asn-Asn-Val-Ile-Met-Pro-Glu-Lys-Thr-Leu-Lys-Lys-Asp-Ala-Leu-Glu-Glu-Asn-Gl u-Met-Asn-Asn-Ile-Lys-Ser-Ile-Thr-Tyr-Gln-Val-Thr-Asn-Gly-Lys-Asn-Ala-Met-Pro-A la-Phe-Gly-Gly-Arg-Leu-Ser-Glu-Thr-Asp-Ile-Glu-Asp-Val-Ala-Asn-Phe-Val-Ile-Ser-Gln-Ser-Gln-Lys-Gly-Trp. The highest homology was found between the sequences of cytochromes c-553 of P. fascia and Alaria esculenta, the next between those of P. fascia and Porphyria tenera.
