title: The primary structure of carboxypeptidase S1 from Penicillium janthinellum.
abstract: The complete amino acid sequence of carboxypeptidase S1 from Penicillium janthinellium has been determined by N-terminal sequencing of the reduced and vinylpyridinated protein and of peptides obtained by cleaved with cyanogen bromide, iodosobenzoic acid, hydroxylamine, endoproteinase LysC, endoproteinase AspN and Glu-specific proteinase from B. licheniformis. The enzyme consists of a single peptide chain of 433 amino acid residues and contains 9 half-cystine residues and one glycosylated asparagine residue. A comparison to other carboxypeptidases shows that the enzyme is homologous to carboxypeptidase-Y and carboxypeptidase-MIII from malt. Specificity and binding of substrates are discussed from a three-dimensional model based on the known structure of carboxypeptidase-Y from Saccharomyces cereviciae and carboxypeptidase II from wheat.
