Characterization of peptides cleaved by plasmin from the C-terminal polymerization domain of human fibrinogen.
, J Biol Chem, Vol: 260, Pages: 13095-13101, ISSN: 0021-9258The C-terminal region of the fibrinogen gamma chain is known to participate in several functional interactions including fibrin polymerization. This part of the molecule is retained on the gamma chain of fragment D (FgD) when fibrinogen is digested by plasmin in the presence of calcium to produce the fragment D-fragment E (FgD X FgE) complex but is lost if FgD is prepared in the absence of calcium. In an attempt to characterize the C-terminal polymerization domain we have used three techniques to examine this further degradation of FgD following the addition of EDTA and plasmin. Analysis of the digestion by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed a progressive cleavage of the gamma chain to two small remnants. The polymerization-inhibitory activity of the whole digest was studied using acid-solubilized fibrin. A progressive loss of inhibitory activity was associated with gamma chain shortening, reaching greater than a 120-fold reduction at the end of digestion. The cleavage of peptides was followed by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography and the release of a characteristic peptide triplet was associated with gamma chain cleavage. Manual sequencing, amino acid analysis, and fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry established the three peptides as gamma 303-356, 357-373, and 374-405. These peptides have sequences in common with those peptides recently reported by other investigators to be potent polymerization inhibitors. However, when a mixture of the three peptides was added in a 200-fold molar excess to polymerizing fibrin, no inhibitory activity could be demonstrated. It is concluded that the C-terminal polymerization domain of fibrinogen may be an extended region which includes the sequence gamma 303-405, when this is contiguous with the remainder of the gamma chain.

Orientation of EPR signals arising from components in Photosystem II membranes
, BBA - Bioenergetics, Vol: 807, Pages: 189-201, ISSN: 0005-2728EPR signals arising from components in oriented multilayers of Photosystem II (PS II) membranes have been studied and the following results have been obtained. (1) The EPR signals arising from the primary semiquinone-iron complex (Q-AFe) were highly oriented, with features at g = 1.90, g = 1.82 and g = 1.66 showing maxima when the membranes were perpendicular to the magnetic field. (2) The EPR signal, arising from the reduced pheophytin acceptor interacting with Q-AFe, showed an orientation-dependent splitting, ranging from 39 G when the membranes were parallel to the magnetic field to 27 G when the membranes were perpendicular to the magnetic field. (3) The S2 multiline signal associated with the O2-evolving enzyme showed an orientation dependence. This was most marked as position shifts in the low-field wings of the spectrum. These effects indicate that the component is oriented within the membrane and has some magnetically anisotropic character. (4) The component at g {reversed tilde equals} 4, though to be due to an oxidized charge carrier close to S2, showed a slight orientation dependence in its amplitude, but a significant orientation-dependent field-position shift was present, indicating that this is a magnetically anisotropic centre with a fixed geometry in the membrane. (5) Cytochrome b-559 in its oxidized form showed large highly oriented signals. The gz 2.97 feature was maximum when the membranes were oriented parallel to the magnetic field, while the gy 2.22 was maximum when the membrane plane was perpendicular to the magnetic field. This indicates that the haem plane is perpendicular to the plane of the membrane, in agreement with previous reports using chloroplasts. Ageing of the sample brings about a change from low- to high-spin state accompanied by a change in orientation of the haem relative to the membrane (from perpendicular to approximately 45°). (6) Signal II slow, which is present in the dark and which arises from a component which acts a

Fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry of large peptides: A rapid method for molecular weight analysis
, Journal of Applied Biochemistry, Vol: 7, Pages: 126-132, ISSN: 0161-7354A protocol which permits the molecular weight assignment of polypeptides in the 6000 to 8000-M(r) range has been developed. The procedure, which is based on the technologies of fast atom bombardment ionization and high field magnet mass spectrometry, has been applied to the semiroutine analysis of neurotoxins, including a scorpion toxin of unknown sequence. The type of instrumentation required for these studies is now widely available in mass spectrometry facilities which are readily accessible to the protein chemist. The results reported here indicate that fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry could greatly assist the rapid characterization of protein products of interest to biotechnologists.
