A chitinase isolated from Coccidioides immitis was subjected to amino-terminal protein sequence analysis. The resulting 18-amino-acid sequence was compared with the previously reported amino acid sequence of coccidioidal immunodiffusion-complement fixation (IDCF) antigen. From the homology of the two sequences, the results support the identification of the IDCF antigen with a chitinase.
从粗球孢子菌中分离出的一种几丁质酶进行了氨基末端蛋白质序列分析。将所得的18个氨基酸序列与先前报道的球孢子菌免疫扩散 - 补体结合(IDCF)抗原的氨基酸序列进行比较。根据这两个序列的同源性,结果支持将IDCF抗原鉴定为一种几丁质酶。
