Bovine cardiac troponin containing approximately 3 mol P/mol protein could be separated into its subunits without loss of phosphate. Troponin I and troponin T each contain about 1.5 mol P/mol protein. In troponin I two phosphorylated serine residues could be localized in the N-terminal region by conversion of phosphoserine to S-ethylcysteine. They are located in adjacent positions in the following sequence: -Arg-Arg-Ser(P)-Ser(P)-Ala-Asn-Tyr-Tyr-Arg-Ala-Tyr-Ala-Thr-Glu-Pro- His-Ala-Lys. This sequence shows that the first phosphoserine residue in bovine cardiac troponin I occupies a homologous position to phosphoserine-20 of rabbit cardiac troponin I.
