Abstract
The amino acid sequence of the protamine isolated from mature sperm nuclei of the ram (Ovis aries) has been established from automated sequence analysis of the S‐carboxymethylated protamine. Ram and bull protamines differ only by two point changes and the deletion in bull protamine of the tripeptide Cys39‐Arg‐Arg41. In mammalian protamines the central region (residues 13–36) consisting mainly of arginine clusters appears to be conserved whereas the N‐terminal and C‐terminal regions are more variable.This publication has 28 references indexed in Scilit:
