Abstract

The complete amino acid sequence of the heme alpha-containing subunit V of bovine heart cytochrome oxidase was determined to be: H2N-Ser-His-Gly-Ser-His-Glu-Thr-Asp-Glu-Glu-Phe-Asp-Ala-Arg-Trp-Val-Thr-Tyr-Phe-Asn-Lys-Pro-Asp-Ile-Asp-Ala-Trp-Glu-Leu-Arg-Lys-Gly-Met-Asn-Thr-Leu-Val-Gly-Tyr-Asp-Leu-Val-Pro-Glu-Pro-Lys-Ile-Ile-Asp-Ala-Ala-Leu-Arg-Ala-Cys-Arg-Arg-Leu-Asn-Asp-Phe-Ala-Ser-Ala-Val-Arg-Ile-Leu-Glu-Val-Val-Lys-Asp-Lys-Ala-Gly-Pro-His-Lys-Glu-Ile-Tyr-Pro-Tyr-Val-Ile-Gln-Glu-Leu-Arg-Pro-Thr-Leu-Asn-Glu-Leu-Gly-Ile-Ser-Thr-Pro-Glu-Glu-Leu-Gly-Leu-Asp-Lys-Val-COOH. The subunit V is a single polypeptide which consists of 109 amino acid residues. The protein contains 48.6% hydrophobic residues and 34.0% hydrophilic residues and it is an acidic protein having a net charge of -3 at neutral pH. The molecular weight of subunit V was calculated to be 12,436 and that for the heme alpha-containing polypeptide was 13,295.
