Abstract
The NH2-terminal amino acid sequence of rat skeletal muscle glyceraldehydephosphate dehydrogenase (D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate : NAD+ oxidoreductase(physphorylating), EC 1.2.1.12) was determined to be Val-Lys-Val-Gly-Val-Asn-Gly-Phe-Gly-Arg-Ile-Gly-Arg-Leu-Val-Thr-Arg-Ala-Ala-Phe-Ser-Ser-(-)-(-)--Val-Asx-Ile-Val-Ala-Ile. The presence of Asn instead of Asp in position 6 differentiates this enzyme from other glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenases so far sequenced with the exception of the enzymes isolated from liver. The location of Asn in position 6 has been considered as a specific property of liver glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (Kulbe, K.D., Jackson, K.W. and Tang, J. (1975) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 67, 35--42); this suggestion is not sustained by the results of the present investigation. The amino acid composition of the rat skeletal muscle dehydrogenase demonstrates the unusually low histidine content of this enzyme as compared to other mammalian muscle glyceraldehyde-phosphate dehydrogenases.
