Abstract

The amino acid sequences of the tryptic peptides of the thiol proteinase actinidin from Actinidia chinensis were determined by the manual dansyl--Edman procedure. There are 12 tryptic peptides, which give a polypeptide chain of 220 residues with a mol.wt. of 23500. An alignment of the tryptic peptides was made by using the X-ray-crystallographic data of Baker [(1977) J. Mol. Biol. 115, 263--277] determined at 0.28 nm resolution on crystalline actinidin. Detailed evidence for the amino acid sequences of the tryptic peptides has been deposited as Supplementary Publication SUP 50083 (14 pages) at the British Library Lending Division, Boston Spa, Wetherby, West Yorkshire LS23 7BQ, U.K., from whom copies can be obtained on the terms indicated in Biochem. J. (1978) 169, 5.
