Popis: Trypsin from hepatopancreas of the crab Paralithodes camtschaticuswas isolated in homogeneous state by successive ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex, affinity chromatography on Agarose modified with peptide ligands from trypsin hydrolysate of salmin, and ion-exchange chromatography on a Mono Q column. The total yield of the protein was 64%. Its N-terminal amino acid sequence was determined (IVGGTEVTPG-). A sample of amplified total cDNA of hepatopancreas of king crab was obtained. A cDNA fragment containing the complete coding part of the gene was isolated on the basis of the known N-terminal amino acid sequence of the mature form of the trypsin. The polypeptide chain of the proenzyme consists of 266 aa. The mature trypsin involves 237 aa, which corresponds to its molecular mass of 24.8 kDa. A comparison of the amino acid sequence of the king crab trypsin with those of trypsins from other species of crustaceans demonstrated their high structural homology. The trypsin from the shrimp Penaeus vannamei appeared to be closest in primary structure to that of the king crab (65% identity).
