Abstract

A comparison of the tryptic peptide maps of serine hydroxymethyltransferase from sheep, human, ox livers and Escherichia coli revealed that the mammalian enzymes were similar, while the bacterial enzyme exhibited differences in the primary structure. N-terminus of the reduced carboxymethylated sheep liver enzyme was acetylated. Serine hydroxymethyltransferase was hydrolyzed with trypsin and fragments of peptides were separated by high performance liquid chromatography using a combination of gel permeation, reverse phase and ion-pair chromatography. The peptides were sequenced manually using the 4-N,N'-dimethyl aminoazobenzene-4'-isothiocyanate/phenyl isothiocyanate double coupling method. The tryptic peptides with 80% homology or above were aligned on the rabbit liver enzyme sequence.
