Abstract

The complete amino acid sequence of the granulin of the A. segetum granulosis virus has been reconstructed using the data on tryptic and chymotryptic peptides of protein. In some cases the peptides obtained are compared with the amino acid sequences of the Trlchoplusia ni and Pirn's brassicae granulosis virus granulins. The polypeptide chain comprises 247 amino acids residues having the molecular weight 29135. The peculiarities of the reconstruction of polypeptide chain and cleavage of granulin by trypsin chymotrypsin and proteinase from granula are discussed.
