RESUMO
The complete primary structure of the cholecalciferol-induced chicken intestinal 28-kDa calbindin-D is reported. It is a single-chain polypeptide consisting of 261 amino acid residues (computed Mr = 30,042) and is blocked at the amino terminus. Tryptic digestion of the S-pyridylethylated protein followed by HPLC peptide mapping and automated sequence determination provided the bulk of the sequence information. Subsequent chymotryptic and Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease cleavages yielded the sequences of several additional regions as well as extensive overlapping of the tryptic peptides. The primary structure shows six homologous regions of sequence based on the EF-hand concept of calcium binding, four of which are predicted to actually bind calcium. Aside from these regions, there is no overall structural identity or apparent similarity with the mammalian calbindins (9 kDa), calmodulin, or troponin C. It is predicted that the secondary structure of 28-kDa calbindin-D is significantly different from the other proteins of this class, which bind four calcium atoms.
