[Amino acid sequence of ribonuclease Ap1 from Aspergillus pallidus].

The complete amino acid sequence of an extracellular guanyl-specific RNase from Aspergillus pallidus fungi has been established. The RNase contains 104 amino acid residues (Mr 11,029). Its primary structure was analyzed basing on the automated Edman degradation of the carboxymethylated RNase followed by tryptic digestion and sequencing of the resultant hydrolysate. An additional structural information was obtained by means of the automatic sequencing of the cyanogen bromide peptide mixture and by studying the kinetics of the RNase's digestion with carboxypeptidase Y.
