- Abstract
The active site of bovine intestinal alkaline phosphatase (orthophosphoric-monoester phosphohydrolase (alkaline optimum), EC 3.1.3.1) was labeled with [32P]Pi, a radioactive CNBr peptide was isolated and the amino acid sequence was determined. The sequence of the active-site peptide has limited homology (26%) with the active-site sequence of Escherichia coli alkaline phosphatase except for the ten residues immediately flanking the active-site serine (70%). A possible amino acid sequence deduced from the amino acid composition of an active-site tryptic peptide from human placental alkaline phosphatase is very similar to the bovine intestinal active-site sequence. The amino-terminal sequence of bovine intestinal alkaline phosphatase is homologous (69%) with the human placental enzyme but not with the E. coli phosphatase.
