title: Amino acid sequence of the alpha A- and beta-polypeptide chains of the Ryukyu rufous turtle dove (Streptopelia orientalis Stimpsoni) hemoglobin.
abstract: 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.
