Abstract

Peptide sequences obtained from hen ovotransferrin are compared with the complete amino acid sequence of the protein deduced from a cDNA sequence (Jeltsch and Chambon, preceding paper). Of the 705 positions of the whole protein 605 can be matched by the peptide sequences. Some possible discrepancies between the two methods are pointed out. The two halves of the chain show marked similarities in their sequences with 37% identical residues. The positions of the 15 disulphide bridges are shown; there are 6 homologous bridges in each half of the molecule and 3 extra bridges which occur only in the C‐terminal half. The terminal residues of the half‐ molecule fragments obtained by limited proteolysis are identified. The two domains are joined by a 9‐residue connecting peptide. Sequence variability has been found at 9 positions. The sequence of hen ovotransferrin IS compared with the partial sequence available for human transferrin. From this some tentative conclusions about the identities of the metal‐binding residues and about the evolution of transferrin are reached.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
