Protein S11 from the Escherichia coli ribosome has a unique NH2-terminal structure not previously observed among ribosomal proteins. Owing to the formation of an isopeptide bond between a secondary amino acid (N-alpha-monomethylalanine) and the epsilon-amino group of the NH2-terminal lysine residue, a "branching point" is formed. Therefore, two amino acids are seen when the NH2 terminus of the protein is determined.
来自大肠杆菌核糖体的蛋白质S11具有一种独特的NH2末端结构,这种结构在核糖体蛋白质中以前未曾观察到。由于在二级氨基酸(N-α-单甲基丙氨酸)和NH2末端赖氨酸残基的ε-氨基之间形成了异肽键,从而形成了一个“分支点”。因此,在确定该蛋白质的NH2末端时会看到两个氨基酸。
