The complete amino acid sequence of the hen ovomacroglobulin (ovostatin) subunit has been determined from cDNA and partial peptide sequence analysis. Ovostatin is a tetrameric member of the alpha-macroglobulin (alpha M) family of proteins. The 4715 nt ovostatin cDNA encodes a 36- or a 16-residue signal peptide and a 1437-residue mature protein (162.2 kDa). At the protein level the overall score of sequence identity between ovostatin and mammalian alpha Ms is 39-44%, indicating an early divergence from the line leading to the mammalian alpha Ms. Ovostatin contains 56 mol glucosamine per mol subunit, and 12 of its Asn-residues are likely to be N-glycosylated. Including carbohydrate, the size of the ovostatin subunit is approx. 185 kDa. The ovostatin subunit is predicted to contain 12 intrachain disulfide bridges, and two subunits are predicted to be disulfide bound by two interchain bridges. One Cys residue may be unpaired or participate in dimer formation as a third interchain disulfide bridge. Ovostatin contains a unique 40-residue bait region. In contrast to other alpha Ms, ovostatin contains no internal beta-Cys-gamma-Glu thiol ester, as a result of a Cys-to-Asn replacement (TGC or TGT to AAT), but the Gln-moiety of the thiol ester is preserved. By comparing the sequences of the receptor binding domain in alpha Ms with the corresponding region of ovostatin possible determinants for receptor recognition of mammalian alpha Ms are proposed.
