Ovomucoid third domains from 100 avian species: isolation, sequences, and hypervariability of enzyme-inhibitor contact residues
Abstract
Ovomucoids were isolated from egg whites of 100 avian species and subjected to limited proteolysis. From each an intact, connecting peptide extended third domain was isolated and purified. These were entirely sequenced by single, continuous runs in a sequencer. Of the 106 sequences we report (five polymorphisms and chicken from the preceding paper [Kato, I., Schrode, J., Kohr, W. J., & Laskowski, M., Jr. (1986) Biochemistry (preceding paper in this issue)]), 65 are unique. In all cases except ostrich (which has Ser45), the third domains are either partially or fully glycosylated at Asn45. The majority of the third domain preparations we isolated are carbohydrate-free. Alignment of the sequences shows that their structurally important residues are strongly conserved. On the other hand, those residues that are in contact with the enzyme in turkey ovomucoid third domain complex with Streptomyces griseus proteinase B [Read, R., Fujinaga, M., Sielecki, A. R., & James, M. N. G. (1983) Biochemistry 22, 4420-4433] are not conserved but instead are by far the most variable residues in the molecule. These findings suggest that ovomucoid third domains may be an exception to the widely accepted generalization that in protein evolution the functionally important residues are strongly conserved. Complete proof will require better understanding of the physiological function of ovomucoid third domains. This large set of variants differing from each other in the enzyme-inhibitor contact area and augmented by several high-resolution structure determinations is useful for the study of our sequence to reactivity (inhibitory activity) algorithm. It is also useful for the study of several other protein properties. In the connecting peptide fragment most phasianoid birds have the dipeptide Val4-Ser5, which is absent in most other orders. This dipeptide is often present in only 70-95% of the molecules and appears to arise from ambiguous excision at the 5' end of the F intron of ovomucoid. Connecting peptides from the ovomucoids of cracid birds contain the analogous Val4-Asn5 peptide. In laughing kookaburra ovomucoid third domain we found (in 91% of the molecules) Gln5A, which we interpret as arising from ambiguous intron excision at the 3' end of the F intron.
