Structure of human erythrocyte spectrin. I. Isolation of the alpha-I domain and its cyanogen bromide peptides. 1983

D W Speicher, and G Davis, and P D Yurchenco, and V T Marchesi

The alpha-I domain of human erythrocyte spectrin was produced by a mild tryptic digestion of the intact molecule and purified by a single step affinity chromatography procedure using a monoclonal antibody. A tryptic peptide representing the alpha-I domain, which migrated on polyacrylamide gels as an 80,000-dalton peptide, was subjected to automated Edman-Begg degradation. Products from automated sequencing were identified by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography. Two smaller proteolytic products of the alpha-I domain (T74 and T50) were also subjected to automated sequence analysis. CNBr cleavage of the alpha-I domain produced nine unique peptides which were separated by gel filtration on a high performance liquid chromatograph. Peptides were further purified by reverse-phase chromatography and characterized by amino acid analysis. Partial sequences were determined by automated NH2-terminal sequence analysis. A single aspartate-proline bond, which was partially hydrolyzed during the cyanogen bromide cleavage reaction, was also identified. These sequence data include the first 86 residues of the alpha-I domain, and the spectrin oligomer binding site has been tentatively localized within the first 39 residues. The sequence of 293 residues of a total 633 residues in the alpha-I domain is presented and represents the first structural information for this protein.
