The sequence of a globin from a marine invertebrate, the sea cucumber Caudina (Molpadia) arenicola (Echinodermata), is reported. This globin, chain C, is one of four major globins found in coelomic red cells in this organism and is the second to be sequenced. Chain C consists of 157 residues, is amino-terminally acetylated, and has an extended amino-terminal region. This globin shares a 60% sequence identity with the other sequenced C. arenicola globin, D chain (Mauri et al., Biochem. Biophys. Acta 1078, 63-67, 1991), but has a 93.6% identity with a globin from another sea cucumber, Paracaudina chilensis (Suzuki, Biochem. Biophys. Acta, 998, 292-296, 1989).
报道了一种来自海洋无脊椎动物——海参(海棒槌属,棘皮动物门)的珠蛋白序列。这种珠蛋白,即C链,是在该生物体的体腔红细胞中发现的四种主要珠蛋白之一,也是第二个被测序的。C链由157个残基组成,氨基端被乙酰化,并且有一个延伸的氨基端区域。这种珠蛋白与另一种已测序的海棒槌属珠蛋白D链(Mauri等人,《生物化学与生物物理学报》1078,63 - 67,1991)具有60%的序列同一性,但与另一种海参——黄海葵的珠蛋白具有93.6%的同一性(Suzuki,《生物化学与生物物理学报》,998,292 - 296,1989)。
