Amino acid sequence of the alpha A- and beta-polypeptide chains of the Ryukyu rufous turtle dove (Streptopelia orientalis Stimpsoni) hemoglobin.
Only one hemoglobin component is recognized in the erythrocytes of the adult Ryukyu rufous turtle dove. We have determined the amino acid sequence of the alpha A-globin and the beta-globin by conventional protein sequence analysis. The sequences of both the alpha A- and the beta-globins were highly similar to domestic pigeon hemoglobin. The alpha A-globin has 6 exchanges and beta-globin has 4 exchanges compared with the corresponding domestic pigeon chains.
