Studies on the high-sulphur proteins of reduced Merino wool. Amino acid sequence of protein SCMKB-3A3

L S Swart et al. Biochem J. 1973 Aug.

Abstract

The complete amino acid sequences of wool protein SCMKB-IIIA3 (131 residues) and a minor component SCMKB-IIIA3A (130 residues) have been determined. The proteins are mutually homologous and have free threonine as the N-terminal residue and carboxymethylcysteine as the C-terminus. The peptides used for the sequence work were obtained by trypsin, thermolysin, pepsin and chymotrypsin digestions and were fractionated by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, gel filtration on Sephadex G-25 and G-50, paper chromatography and electrophoresis. The Edman degradation method (employing both the Beckman Sequencer and a non-automatic procedure) was used to obtain the sequences of the peptides.
