Fractionation of an acid extract of 15 B. marinus intermediate pituitaries by a combination of gel filtration chromatography and cation exchange chromatography revealed one major and five minor forms of beta-endorphin in this tissue. Based on reversed-phase HPLC and immunological properties, as well as amino acid composition and primary sequence analysis, it was deduced that the sequence of the major form of B. marinus beta-endorphin is N-acetyl-YGGFMTPE. Overall, the steady-state analyses of the minor forms of beta-endorphin indicated that the posttranslational processing of beta-endorphin in the toad intermediate pituitary includes endoproteolytic cleavage at both paired basic and monobasic cleavage sites.
