Radiochemical microtechniques have been used in the amino acid sequence analysis of five major CNBr fragments of the glycoprotein specified by the murine major histocompatibility complex gene H-2k(b). These fragments have been tentatively aligned and represent the NH(2)-terminal 80% of the intact molecule. All amino acids except Asp, Asn, and Gln have been assigned in 128 out of 149 possible positions in the NH(2)-terminal portions of each of these fragments. These assignments, which represent approximately 50% of the total sequence from these fragments, are listed below in the order of their alignment in the intact H-2K(b) molecule: IIIn, -PHSLRYFVTAVSRP(G)L(G)(E)PRYM; IIIa, EVGYV--TEFVRF-S-AE(A)PRYEPR(A)--M; Ib, E-EGPEYWERET-KAK(G)-E-SFR--LRTLL(G)YY--TK; Ia, AALITK-KWE-AGEAERLRAYLEGTC-E-L; Ic, ELVETRPAG-GTF-KWAS-VVPLGKE-YY(T). The unassigned positions represented by dashes in the above sequences may be tentatively assigned as Asp, Asn, or Gln. The NH(2)-terminal sequence obtained for the H-2K(b) molecule was compared to the limited sequence information available for other major histocompatibility complex gene products. An 84% homology (16 of 19 residues) to the H-2K(q) and H-2K(k) molecules, which are identical to one another in the positions compared, was observed. A similar comparison with 28 of the 31 NH(2)-terminal residues of HLA-B7 indicated 68% homology. Furthermore, significant homology was observed between H-K(b) and HLA-B7 in a region of glycosylation, which occurs between positions 85 and 100 in the two molecules.
