Abstract
The C-terminal peptic fragment P1 (about 518 amino acid residues) of bovine lens-capsule collagen alpha 1(IV) chain was cleaved with CNBr and trypsin. The peptides were purified and characterized, allowing their ordering within the P1 fragment by comparison with a corresponding section of mouse collagen alpha 1(IV) chain [Schuppan, Glanville & Timpl (1982) Eur. J. Biochem. 123, 505-512]. About 67% of the sequence of bovine collagen fragment P1 was determined by Edman degradation. Comparison with the sequence of the corresponding mouse collagen fragment P1 showed 76% identity for positions Xaa and Yaa of the triplet structures Gly-Xaa-Yaa. Invariance was found for the positions of two non-triplet interruptions and of 3-hydroxyproline residues, pointing to the functional importance of these structures.
