The amino acid sequences of cytochrome c from four plant sources

The amino acid sequence of wheat germ cytochrome c.

Determination of the complete amino acid sequence of wheat germ cytochrome c has shown that the molecule consists of a single polypeptide chain of 112 residues. On alignment with mammalian cytochromes, the peptide chain extends for 8 residues at the NH&erminal end. In contrast with other cytochromes that have a peptide chain longer than 104 residues, the NHt-terminal residue is Nacetylalanine. ...

The amino acid sequence of bovine heart cytochrome c.

Amino acid sequence of chicken heart cytochrome c.

The complete amino acid sequence of chicken heart cytochrome c has been established. This primary structure is typically that of a “mammalian-type” cytochrome c showing the characteristic groupings of hydrophobic and basic residues, and, like the other cytochromes c from vertebrate species, has an acetylated amino-terminal residue. Chicken heart cytochrome c differs from the horse, beef, human,...

Amino acid composition of horse heart cytochrome c.

As the first step in the study of the amino acid sequence of horse heart cytochrome c, it was essential to establish the exact composition of the protein. Although the molecular weight is low (approximately 12,000) (1) and the protein contains less than 110 amino acid residues per mole, analyses by three diierent laboratories (2-4) have not yielded strictly concordant results. These analyses ar...

The amino acid sequence of the cytochrome c-554(547) from the chemolithotrophic bacterium Thiobacillus neapolitanus.

An amino acid sequence is proposed for the cytochrome c-554(547) from the bacterium Thiobacillus neapolitanus N.C.I.B. 8539). It consists of a polypeptide chain of 91 residues, with a pair of haem-attachment cysteine residues at positions 15 and 18. There is similarity in sequence with each of the halves of the sequence of the dihaem cytochromes c4 and with a cytochrome c-554(548) from a haloph...
