The amino acid sequence of leek cytochrome c was determined with 0.4mumol of protein. The sequence was deduced solely from a chymotryptic digest. The cytochrome was homologous with other plant cytochromes c of mitochondrial origin. Leek cytochrome c has an N-acetylated ;tail' as compared with mammalian cytochrome c, and two residues of epsilon-N-trimethyl-lysine. Unlike other plant cytochromes c, leek cytochrome c has glutamic acid or glutamine in position 11, leucine in position 20 and alanine in position 51. 4-Hydroxyproline partially substitutes for proline in position 79. Experimental details are given in a supplementary paper that has been deposited as Supplementary Publication SUP 50012, at the National Lending Library for Science and Technology, Boston Spa, Yorks.

用0.4微摩尔蛋白质测定了韭菜细胞色素c的氨基酸序列。该序列完全由胰凝乳蛋白酶消化产物推导得出。该细胞色素与其他线粒体来源的植物细胞色素c同源。与哺乳动物细胞色素c相比,韭菜细胞色素c具有N-乙酰化的“尾巴”,以及两个ε-N-三甲基赖氨酸残基。与其他植物细胞色素c不同,韭菜细胞色素c在第11位是谷氨酸或谷氨酰胺,第20位是亮氨酸,第51位是丙氨酸。4-羟基脯氨酸部分替代了第79位的脯氨酸。实验细节见一篇补充论文,该论文已作为补充出版物SUP 50012存放在英国约克郡波士顿温泉市国家科技出借图书馆,地址为LS23 7BQ,可按《生物化学杂志》(1973年)第131卷第5期所示条件从该图书馆获取复印件。
