Mitochondrial derivatives of insect sperm usually contain a crystalline protein that shows a 45-nm main period, made up of 20-nm subperiods, determined by the coiling of filament bundles. Filaments are 2 nm thick and have a globular appearance. The crystals contain two main polypeptides, 52,000 and 55,000 daltons. These polypeptides are closely related, contain a high percentage of proline, and are insoluble in sodium dodecyl sulfate due to disulfide cross links. We suggest for this class of protein the name crystallomitin.
昆虫精子的线粒体衍生物通常含有一种晶体蛋白,该蛋白呈现出45纳米的主要周期,由20纳米的亚周期组成,这是由丝状束的盘绕所决定的。细丝直径为2纳米,呈球状外观。这些晶体包含两种主要的多肽,分子量分别为52,000和55,000道尔顿。这些多肽密切相关,含有高比例的脯氨酸,并且由于二硫键交联而不溶于十二烷基硫酸钠。我们建议将这类蛋白质命名为晶体肌动蛋白。
