Complete amino acid sequence of human phosphoglycerate kinase. Isolation and amino acid sequence of tryptic peptides.

As a part of the elucidation of the complete amino acid sequence of human phosphoglycerate kinase, 46 tryptic peptides, ranging in length from 1 to 26 residues, were isolated and characterized from the reduced and S-carboxymethylated enzyme. The isolated peptides were subjected to sequence analysis by the modified dansyl-Edman degradation procedure and automated Edman degradation technique. The results, together with the data on cyanogen bromide peptides and two additional tryptic peptides from cyanogen bromide peptides reported in the accompanying paper, established the complete amino acid sequence of human erythrocyte phosphoglycerate kinase.
