[PMID: 34968947 PMCID: PMC9438800 DOI: 10.1016/j.coph.2021.11.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2021] [Revised: 10/21/2021] [Accepted: 11/12/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
Biological regulatory networks are dynamic, intertwined, and complex systems making them challenging to study. While quantitative measurements of transcripts and proteins are key to investigate the state of a biological system, they do not inform the "active" state of regulatory networks. In consideration of that fact, "functional" proteomics assessments are needed to decipher active regulatory processes. Phosphorylation, a key post-translation modification, is a reversible regulatory mechanism that controls the functional state of proteins. Recent advancements of high-throughput protein kinase activity profiling platforms allow for a broad assessment of protein kinase networks in complex biological systems. In conjunction with sophisticated computational modeling techniques, these profiling platforms provide datasets that inform the active state of regulatory systems in disease models and highlight potential drug targets. Taken together, system-wide profiling of protein kinase activity has become a critical component of modern molecular biology research and presents a promising avenue for drug discovery.

Abstract
In this work, a novel kind of water-dispersible molecular imprinted conductive polyaniline particles was prepared through a facile and efficient macromolecular co-assembly of polyaniline with amphiphilic copolymer, and applied as the molecular recognition element to construct protein electrochemical sensor. In our strategy, an amphiphilic copolymer P(AMPS-co-St) was first synthesized using 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid (AMPS) and styrene (St) as monomer, which could co-assemble with PANI in aqueous solution to generate PANI particles driven by the electrostatic interaction. During this process, ovalbumin (OVA) as template protein was added and trapped into the PANI NPs particles owing to their interactions, resulting in the formation of molecular imprinted polyaniline (MIP-PANI) particles. When utilizing the MIP-PANI particles as recognition element, the resultant imprinted PANI sensor not only exhibited good selectivity toward template protein (the imprinting factor α is 5.31), but also a wide linear range over OVA concentration from 10-11 to 10-6mgmL-1 with a significantly lower detection limit of 10-12mgmL-1, which outperformed most of reported OVA detecting methods. In addition, an ultrafast response time of less than 3min has also been demonstrated. The superior performance is ascribed to the water compatibility, large specific surface area of PANI particles and the electrical conductivity of PANI which provides a direct path for the conduction of electrons from the imprinting sites to the electrode surface. The outstanding sensing performance combined with its facile, quick, green preparation procedure as well as low production cost makes the MIP-PANI particles attractive in specific protein recognition and sensing.

Abstract
The first phosphoprotein (casein) was discovered in 1883, yet the enzyme responsible for its phosphorylation was identified only 130 years later, in 2012. In the intervening time, especially in the last decades of the 1900s, it became evident that, far from being an oddity, phosphorylation affects the majority of eukaryotic proteins during their lifespan, and that this reaction is catalysed by the members of a large family of protein kinases, susceptible to a variety of stimuli controlling nearly every aspect of life and death. The aim of this review is to present a historical account of the main steps of this spectacular revolution, which transformed our conception of a biochemical reaction originally held as a sporadic curiosity into the master mechanism governing cell regulation, and, if it is perturbed, causing cell dysregulation.

Abstract
Immunoblotting (also known as Western blotting) combined with digital image analysis can be a reliable method for analyzing the abundance of proteins and protein modifications, but not every immunoblot-analysis combination produces an accurate result. I illustrate how sample preparation, protocol implementation, detection scheme, and normalization approach profoundly affect the quantitative performance of immunoblotting. This study implemented diagnostic experiments that assess an immunoblot-analysis workflow for accuracy and precision. The results showed that ignoring such diagnostics can lead to pseudoquantitative immunoblot data that markedly overestimate or underestimate true differences in protein abundance.

Abstract
Phosphopeptides are among the most interesting biomolecules with characteristic molecular structure and functions. They usually contain clusters of phosphoserines, which can effectively bind calcium and iron, and inhibit formation of insoluble calcium phosphates or iron complexes. Therefore, phosphopeptides can increase calcium or iron bioavailability and prevent lipid oxidation in foods. Milk protein casein has been currently used by industry to produce phosphopeptides. Egg yolk phosvitin is considered as the most phosphorylated protein found in the nature. Phosvitin from egg yolk can be much better source for producing phosphopeptides with varying sizes and functions than casein because it contains much greater number of phosphates in the molecule than casein. However, still phosvitin has not been subjected to considerable attention with regard to bioactive peptides production.

Abstract
The study of protein kinases has become a matter of great importance in the development of new drugs for the treatment of diseases, including cancer and inflammation. Substrate screening is the first step in the fundamental investigation of protein kinases and the development of inhibitors for use in drug discovery. Towards this goal, various studies have been reported regarding the development of phospho-peptide detection methods and the screening of phosphorylated peptide sites by protein kinases. This review introduces the detection methods for phosphorylation events using the reagents with (γ(32)P)ATP, ligand-linked ATP, phospho-peptide-specific antibodies and metal chelating compounds. Chemical modification methods using β-elimination for the detection of phospho-Ser/Thr peptides are introduced as well. In addition, the implementations of combinatorial peptide libraries for screening peptide substrates of protein kinases are discussed. The phage display approach has been suggested as an alternative method of using synthetic peptides for screening the substrate specificities of protein kinase. However, a solid phase assay using a peptide library-bound polymer resin or a peptide-arrayed glass chip is preferred for high throughput screening (HTS).

Abstract
Vitellogenin (Vtg), the precursor molecule for yolk, is synthesized in the liver under estrogenic control. In all oviparous species, including fish, the process of vitellogenesis is crucial to subsequent embryonic development. This study attempted to obtain the cDNA encoding for Vtg from female Japanese eels, Anguilla japonica. Rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were used to amplify Vtg cDNA prepared from liver extracts. Obtained PCR products were subcloned and sequenced. The overall sequence of eel Vtg cDNA isolated in this study contained 5395bp nucleotides. This Vtg sequence encodes 1743 amino acids of the precursor molecule, and is entirely composed of the characteristic N-terminal lipovitellin-I region, an internal polyserine domain region, and a c-terminal lipovitellin-II region. The deduced amino acid sequence from these clones shares 34-61% identity with other teleost Vtgs. Northern blot assays of Vtg gene expression following hormonal treatment demonstrated that this Vtg is synthesized in the liver under stimulation by estradiol injection. However, Vtg synthesis may not be enhanced by salmon pituitary homogenate (SPH) induction for the developing ovarian follicles. Notably, the effect of methyltestosterone, following SPH injection, may be more appropriate for the uptake of Vtg by ovarian follicle maturation during the artificial maturation of Japanese female eels.

Abstract
The current progression from genomics to proteomics is fueled by the realization that many properties of proteins (e.g., interactions, post-translational modifications) cannot be predicted from DNA sequence. Although it has become feasible to rapidly identify proteins from crude cell extracts using mass spectrometry after two-dimensional electrophoretic separation, it can be difficult to elucidate low-abundance proteins of interest in the presence of a large excess of relatively abundant proteins. Therefore, for effective proteome analysis it becomes critical to enrich the sample to be analyzed in subfractions of interest. For example, the analysis of protein kinase substrates can be greatly enhanced by enriching the sample of phosphorylated proteins. Although enrichment of phosphotyrosine-containing proteins has been achieved through the use of high-affinity anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies, the enrichment of phosphoserine/threonine-containing proteins has not been routinely possible. Here, we describe a method for enriching phosphoserine/threonine-containing proteins from crude cell extracts, and for subsequently identifying the phosphoproteins and sites of phosphorylation. The method, which involves chemical replacement of the phosphate moieties by affinity tags, should be of widespread utility for defining signaling pathways and control mechanisms that involve phosphorylation or dephosphorylation of serine/threonine residues.

Abstract
Naproxen sodium (NS) release mechanism from proteineous matrices based on egg albumin (EA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated by several physico-chemical methods. The gel strength, modulus of elasticity and erosion properties of the matrices were studied and correlated with drug release kinetics. The results revealed that NS release rate from EA and BSA matrices was markedly different, indicating the significant role of protein nature and conformation on matrix behavior. Unexpectedly it was found that incorporation of NS to EA matrix increased gel strength and modulus of elasticity and decreased matrix erosion. This effect was dependent on NS concentration in the matrix. In contrast to EA, BSA behaved as a non-gelling matrix and was unable to retard drug release because of its high solubility. The influence of NS on protein folding and compressibility in protein solutions was studied using densitometric and ultrasonic techniques. Adiabatic compressibility measurements revealed that NS caused unfolding of EA, an effect which led to a decrease in EA intrinsic compressibility and the exposure of atomic side groups buried in protein interior. Unfolding of EA led to an increase of modulus of elasticity in solution (measured by ultrasonic velocimetry technique) which is in correlation with the modulus of elasticity measurements of gelled tablets (measured by Instron). In concentrated EA solutions, the results showed a large increase in EA compressibility and ultrasonic absorption in the presence of NS indicating a strong aggregation of the denatured state of EA. Regarding BSA, the results suggested that NS affected the packing of the protein interior, transforming it to a molten globule intermediate state, an effect that led to an increase in BSA compressibility. At high BSA concentrations, aggregation of the molten globule state was observed as indicated by an increase of BSA compressibility and ultrasonic absorption values.

Abstract
Neurotrophin 4/5 (NT4/5) is the least understood member of the mammalian neurotrophin family. Precise and reliable determinations of endogenous NT4/5 levels are essential to understand its physiology. Immunoassay has been used for neurotrophin quantification for over three decades. However, this apparently simple task has proved elusive: conflicting results have long been recognized for nerve growth factor (NGF; up to 10000-fold variations in serum values have been reported in the literature) and more recently, for brain-derived neurotrophic factor (as much as 50-fold reported in rat hippocampus). Reasons for these variations have been extensively investigated by researchers, but rarely explained. During the development of our NT4/5 immunoassay, we discovered that false positive reactions resulted when tissues were extracted and assayed under certain conditions. In this study, we examined the major factors that adversely affect the quantification of NT4/5. Tissue samples from Sprague-Dawley rats were dissected and extracted in a range of buffers. The assay was performed on 96 well vinyl plates using sheep anti-NT4/5 immunoglobulin (Ig) as the capture (first) antibody, and a monoclonal anti-NT4/5 as the detector (second) antibody, followed by anti-mouse IgG (third) conjugated with peroxidase or alkaline phosphatase from several manufacturers. Our results show that: (1) tissue extraction at high or low pH, a method previously found to increase the measurable amount of NGF, produced greater false positive results for NT4/5 when compared with extraction at neutral pH; (2) the most significant source of error derived from the use of conjugated antibodies capable of reacting with molecules within tissue extracts which bind to the plate, even after thorough blocking; and (3) quantification is also significantly affected by both the standards used and the ability of the antibodies to react with these standards. Our findings indicate that the precise determination of neurotrophin levels requires quality reagents and the optimization of extraction conditions for each neurotrophin. The use of a two - rather than a three - antibody assay system avoids most of the interactions which give rise to false positive reactions.

Abstract
Vitellogenin (Vg), a major precursor to egg yolk proteins, was purified from plasma of an estradiol-treated female tuatara (Sphenodon punctatus) by MgCl2-EDTA precipitation and DEAE-cellulose chromatography. The amino acid composition of tuatara Vg is similar to that of other vertebtate Vgs and contains a large proportion of serine (13.7 mol/100 mol of total amino acid). The amino acid sequences of the N-terminus of mature Vg (33 residues) and of several trypsin- and CNBr-generated peptides were determined. Six peptide sequences obtained from tuatara Vg could be aligned with Vg sequences from other vertebrates. Reduced and non-reduced forms of tuatara Vg have the same apparent molecular mass (approximately 218 kDa) when resolved by SDS-PAGE, indicating that inter-chain disulfide bonds are not a feature of the molecule in this species. Western blot analysis with anti-tuatara Vg antiserum indicated that at least some epitopes are shared among Vgs of turtle, alligator and tuatara.

Abstract
Parasitic protozoa of the genus Leishmania secrete a filamentous macromolecule that forms networks and appears to be associated with cell aggregation. We report here the purification of this parasite antigen from Leishmania major culture supernatant and its compositional (75.6% carbohydrate, 20% phosphate, 4.4% amino acids, w/w), structural, and ultrastructural characterization as a highly unusual proteophosphoglycan (PPG). Mild acid hydrolysis, which cleaves preferentially hexose 1-phosphate bonds, releases the PPG glycans. Their structures are Galbeta1-4Man, Manalpha1-2Man, Galbeta1-3Galbeta1-4Man, PO4-6(Galbeta1-3)0-2Galbeta1-4Man, and PO4-6(Arabeta1-2Galbeta1-3)Galbeta1-4Man. These glycans are also components of the parasite glycolipid lipophosphoglycan, but their relative abundance and structural organization in PPG are different. Some of them represent novel forms of protein glycosylation. 31P NMR on native PPG demonstrates that phosphate is exclusively in phosphodiester bonds and that the basic structure R-Manalpha1-PO4-6-Gal-R connects the glycans. A phosphodiester linkage to phosphoserine (most likely R-Manalpha1-PO4-Ser) anchors the PPG oligosaccharides to the polypeptide. PPG has a unique amino acid composition; glycosylated phosphoserine (>43 mol %), serine, alanine, and proline account for more than 87 mol % and appear to be clustered in large proteinase-resistant domains. Electron microscopy of purified PPG reveals cable-like, flexible, long (to 6 microm), and unbranched filaments. The overall structure of PPG shows many similarities to mammalian mucins. Potential functions of this novel mucin-like molecule for the parasites are discussed.

Abstract
It has been demonstrated that good agreement may be observed between computed and experimental isoelectric point (pI) values when proteins of known sequence are focused under denaturing conditions on immobilized pH gradient IPG slabs, at least in the pH range 4-7.5. Hence, discrepancies between expected and found in this experimental set-up may be reliably ascribed to some kind of post-transcriptional processing, or chemical modification, having taken place in the sample. This evaluation is made easier when the comparison is set between the pI of a parent molecule and that (or those) of one to several of its derivatives as resolved in a single experiment (for instance, as a spot row in two-dimensional maps); no previous knowledge is required in these cases about the amino acid composition of the primary structure. The effects on protein surface charge are discussed in this review mainly for two biologically relevant processes, glycosylation and phosphorylation. Then, the pI shifts are analysed for some protein modifications that may occur naturally but can also be artefactually elicited, such as NH2 terminus blocking, deamidation and thiol redox reactions. Finally, carboxymethylation and carbamylation are used to exemplify chemical treatments often applied in connection with electrophoretic techniques and involving charged residues. Procedures to be applied in order to verify whether a given modification has occurred, and often relying on the focusing of a treated specimen, are detailed in each section. Numerical examples on model proteins are also discussed. As an important field of application of the above concepts may be genetic engineering, an exhaustive bibliographic list dealing with pI evaluation and structural assessment on recombinant proteins is included.

Abstract
The protein components of biomineralized structures (matrix proteins) are believed to modulate crystal nucleation and growth, and thereby influence the shape and strength of the final structure. The chicken eggshell contains a complex array of distinct matrix proteins. One of these was found to have similar molecular weight and chromatographic properties as purified egg ovalbumin. A commercially available antibody to ovalbumin was utilized for western blotting to demonstrate that ovalbumin is one of the matrix proteins this is extracted from decalcified eggshell. Immunohistochemistry revealed that ovalbumin is found only in the mammillary bodies of decalcified shell, and is not distributed throughout the shell matrix. These results indicate that ovalbumin is present during the initial phase of shell formation and becomes incorporated into the protein matrix of the mammillary bodies. However, it is not yet clear whether ovalbumin at this site plays a specific role in shell mineralization.

Abstract
Recent, NMR and precipitation, studies of molecular recognition of proline-rich proteins and peptides by plant polyphenols are described and rationalized. The action of polysaccharides and caseins in the moderation of the astringent response, which is engendered by polyphenols present in foodstuffs and beverages, is described. The possible influence of plant cell wall glycoproteins on the process of lignification is discussed in the light of the observed affinity of phenolic substrates for prolyl residues in protein structures.

Abstract
1. A method developed for the isolation of phosvitin from chicken egg yolk was successfully applied to the isolation of phosvitin from salmon eggs. 2. Salmon roe phosvitin is smaller in molecular size than chicken egg phosvitin. 3. Circular dichroism spectra of all phosvitins investigated displayed good similarities with spectra showing characteristics of unordered and beta-sheet secondary structure. 4. The main component in the Fourier transform infrared spectra of chicken egg phosvitin is indicative of unordered conformation, whereas the Fourier infrared data of the salmon egg phosvitin are consistent with more of beta-sheet structure compared to the chicken egg phosvitin.

Abstract
Ovalbumin, the major protein in avian egg-white, is a non-inhibitory member of the serine protease inhibitor (serpin) superfamily. The crystal structure of uncleaved, hen ovalbumin was solved by the molecular replacement method using the structure of plakalbumin, a proteolytically cleaved form of ovalbumin, as a starting model. The final refined model, including four ovalbumin molecules, 678 water molecules and a single metal ion, has a crystallographic R-factor of 17.4% for all reflections between 6.0 and 1.95 A resolution. The root-mean-square deviation from ideal values in bond lengths is 0.02 A and in bond angles is 2.9 degrees. This is the first crystal structure of a member of the serpin family in an uncleaved form. Surprisingly, the peptide that is homologous to the reactive centre of inhibitory serpins adopts an alpha-helical conformation. The implications for the mechanism of inhibition of the inhibitory members of the family is discussed.

Abstract
1. Whereas only beta-glucosidase A (beta-D-glucoside glucohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.21) was produced by the tropical fungus Botryodiplodia theobromae Pat. (I.M.I. 115626; A.T.C.C. 26123) in young cultures containing D-cellobiose as carbon source, lower-Mr forms (B, C and D) were found in older cultures when the pH had drifted from the initial value of pH 6.2 to pH 7.9. 2. The Michaelis constants (Km) of the various molecular forms of the enzyme were 0.30 +/- 0.03 mM-, 0.26 +/- 0.01 mM-, 0.20 +/- 0.02 mM- and 0.16 +/- 0.01 mM-o-nitrophenyl beta-D-glucopyranoside for beta-glucosidase forms A (Mr 320,000), B (Mr 160,000), C (Mr 80,000) and D (Mr 40,000) respectively. 3. Only beta-glucosidase D showed substrate inhibition. 4. Only L-arginine was found as the N-terminal residue, and beta-glucosidase A contained 31.7 +/- 0.6 mol of N-terminal L-arginine/mol of the enzyme. 5. Storage of purified beta-glucosidase A under mildly alkaline conditions caused its dissociation into the lower-Mr forms, whereas adjustment of the pH of a solution of beta-glucosidase A to pH 12.0 with 1 M-NaOH led to complete inactivation on incubation at 40 degrees C for 1 h and to the release of 25.2 +/- 1.5 mol of inorganic phosphate/mol of the enzyme. 6. O-Phospho-L-serine was isolated from the acid-hydrolysis product of beta-glucosidase A but not from that of beta-glucosidase D. 7. Reduction and carboxamidomethylation of the various forms of beta-glucosidase gave only one enzymically inactive protein with an Mr of 10,000-11,000. 8. After partial succinylation (3-carboxypropionylation) of beta-glucosidase D at pH 5.0 and removal of the precipitated protein formed, the supernatant solution contained beta-glucosidase components similar to the other molecular forms (A, B and C) and an aggregate (beta-glucosidase Xs) that gave a positive result in the alkaline hydroxylamine test, whereas N-succinylated beta-glucosidase D, an aggregate (form Xp) that behaved like beta-glucosidase Xs and traces of forms A, B and C were found by gel filtration of the solution of the precipitate solubilized at neutral pH (7.0-7.7). 9. These observations are discussed in terms of the proposed octameric structure of beta-glucosidase A based on the result of electron microscopy [Umezurike (1975) Biochem. J. 145, 361-368].

Abstract
The lysine residues were modified to varying degrees (50-91%) with citraconic anhydride to determine the extent of conformational change in ovalbumin. Major findings included: 1. Sixteen of the 20 lysine residues are located on the protein surface, while the remaining four are buried. 2. The tertiary structure changed progressively with the degree of modification. 3. However, the secondary structure was disrupted only after one or more of the four buried lysines had been citraconylated. 4. Although the secondary structure was unaltered, the alpha-helix was nevertheless progressively destabilized as the surface 16 lysine residues were modified. This destabilization was due to electrostatic repulsions introduced by the entering citraconyl groups.

Abstract
The presence of acidic phosivitins phosvettes in Xenopus laevis yolk platelets and their purification by (NH4)2SO4 precipitation of associated lipovitellin were documented by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by staining with Stains-all. Procedures were further developed to resolve the various entities present in the crude phosvitin/phosvette fraction by size-exclusion, anion-exchange, and hydrophobic interaction chromatography, using a Pharmacia FPLC system, and their resolution was documented by both electrophoresis and two-dimensional chromatography. Four major entities (phosvitins 1 and 2; phosvettes 1 and 2) were observed, but microheterogeneity was also apparent, particularly by hydrophobic interaction chromatography. The new separation procedures require min/h rather than h days.

Abstract
Previous studies (Batra, P.P., Roebuck, M.A. and Uetrecht, D. (1990) J. Protein Chem. 9, 37-44) showed that succinylation or acetylation of 75% of the lysine residues has little effect on the secondary structure of ovalbumin. The acylation of the remaining 25% lysine residues, which apparently are partially buried, results in a substantial loss of the helical structure. These conformational changes may be due not only to electrostatic repulsions introduced by succinylation or acetylation of the positively charged epsilon-amino groups but also to steric hindrance, since an increase in the ionic strength failed to reverse the loss of the helical structure. An increase in pH to 12.2 results in a complete helix-to-coil transition in the maximally succinylated ovalbumin (but not in the partially succinylated or in any of the acetylated ovalbumins including the maximally acetylated derivative), perhaps because it is most expanded and its molecular interior most accessible to solvent as succinylation replaces +1 charge of epsilon-amino group with a -1 charge so that a net of -2 charge per succinyl group is placed on the protein molecule. This helix-to-coil transition in the maximally succinylated ovalbumin induced by high pH is fully reversed by increasing the ionic strength, indicating that only electrostatic effects are responsible for this disruption. Studies have also shown that although there is no loss of the helical structure until after the 75% surface lysine residues have been acylated, the helical structure does become progressively destabilized with increasing degree of modification, a conclusion drawn from urea unfolding curves. This destabilization of the helical structure is due primarily to electrostatic effects, as an increase in the ionic strength led to an increase in the urea transition mid-point. Unlike urea, the guanidine hydrochloride unfolding curves indicate that the transition mid-point for the native protein, as well as for the maximally succinylated and acetylated derivatives, is about the same, perhaps because the denaturant itself acts as an electrolyte.

Abstract
There are five lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isoenzymes, composed of various combinations of two types of subunits. LDH-5, which contains only the LDH A subunit, is known to be present in both the cytoplasm and the nucleus, to act as a single-stranded DNA-binding protein possibly functioning in transcription and/or replication, and to undergo phosphorylation of tyrosine 238 in approximately 1% of the enzyme after cell transformation by certain tumor viruses. We have characterized LDH from wild-type PC12 pheochromocytoma cells and from a PC12 variant (MPT1) that exhibits altered lactate metabolism and altered expression of multiple genes. Wild-type and MPT1 cells contain different proportions of LDH isoenzymes, with LDH-5 being more predominant in wild-type cells than in the variant. A small fraction of LDH from PC12 cells contains phosphotyrosine. Approximately 99% of the total LDH activity is located in the cytoplasm, but all of the phosphotyrosine-containing LDH is located in the nucleus. Furthermore, essentially all of the nuclear LDH contains phosphotyrosine. These results suggest that tyrosine phosphorylation can affect its role in the nucleus.

Abstract
The proteolysis of calmodulin by fungal protease (type XIX) was greatly enhanced in the presence of dGTP and MS2 RNA. Whereas, only moderate proteolytic activation on bacterial proteases (type XXVI) was observed in the presence of MS2 RNA. No appreciable proteolysis of calmodulin by bacterial protease (type IX) was observed. Proteolytic fragments of calmodulin cleaved by fungal protease exhibited unusual low mobility during SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Similar decreased electrophoretic mobility was also noted in the proteolytic fragments of other Ca2(+)-binding proteins including S-100A protein and parvalbumin.

Abstract
1. High resolution 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra, with and without proton decoupling, of the principal egg phosphoproteins--phosvitins--of a bird (Gallus gallus), an amphibian (Xenopus laevis) and a fish (Salmo gairdneri) were obtained. 2. The spectra were evaluated with special reference to available amino acid sequences and the major NMR resonance in all three spectra was assigned to phosphoserine clusters. 3. The resolution of numerous additional phosphorus resonances provides the basis for further investigation of the particular molecular environments of phosvitin-bound phosphoryl groups and their involvement in the diverse binding modes for metal complex formation by phosvitins.
