Primary structure of rabbit skeletal muscle troponin-T. Purification of cyanogen bromide fragments and the amino acid sequence of fragment CB2
J. R. Pearlstone, M. R. Carpenter and L. B. Smillie
Troponin-T was cleaved by cyanogen bromide (CB) to produce the seven
fragments CB1 (151 residues), CB3 (70 residues), CB2 (81 residues), CB5 (24
residues), CB4 (54 residues), CB7 (8 residues), and CB6 (21 residues). The
NH2-terminal fragment CB1, composed of CB3 plus CB2, had an internal
homoserine which was not completely cleaved. The amino acid sequence of CB2
was determined by a combination of automated and manual Edman degradation
techniques. Peptides suitable for the latter method were derived from
tryptic, alpha-chymotryptic, alpha-lytic protease, and thermolytic
digestions. Fragment CB2 contains 81 of the 259 residues of troponin-T.
