Abstract
Three peptide segments corresponding to the complete sequence of the 104 amino acid protein bovine apocytochrome c were synthesized by the solid-phase method. The peptides Ac-[Cys(Cam)14,17, GlyS23]-apocytochrome c-(1–23) (I), CF3CO-[GlyS60]-apocytochrome c-(24–60) (II), and CF3CO-apocytochrome c-(61–104) (III) were purified by chromatography on CM-cellulose, partition chromatography and/or HPLC. Each of the peptides was reacted with citraconic anhydride to block all of the lysine side chains, and the 61–104 peptide was treated with 10% hydrazine to remove the trifluoroacetyl group, to give the corresponding peptides Ia, IIa, and IIIa. Peptides IIa and IIIa were coupled together by reaction with silver nitrate/N-hydroxysuccinimide to give the 24–104 sequence. After removal of the trifluoroacetyl group from the amino terminus, peptide Ia was also coupled. Treatment of the peptide mixture with aqueous acetic acid removed the citraconyl groups, and purification by chromatography on CM-cellulose and HPLC gave a 0.6% yield of [Cys-(Cam)14,17]-apocytochrome c. The synthetic product was shown to be identical to a sample derived from native bovine cytochrome c by paper or gel electrophoresis, HPLC and by chymotryptic or tryptic map.Keywords
