A residue of gamma-N-methylasparagine (gamma-NMA) is found at position beta-72 of many phycobiliproteins. delta-N-Methylglutamine is present in some bacterial ribosomal proteins. gamma-NMA was synthesized by reacting the omega-methyl ester of aspartate with methylamine and delta-N-methylglutamine by reaction of pyroglutamate with methylamine. These derivatives and the omega-methyl esters of aspartate and glutamate were characterized by melting point, by thin-layer chromatography, by amino acid analysis, by NMR spectroscopy, and after conversion to the phenylthiohydantoin (PTH) derivative. The gamma-NMA residues in peptides from allophycocyanin, C-phycocyanin, and B-phycoerythrin were stable under the conditions of automated sequential gas-liquid phase Edman degradation. On HPLC, PTH-gamma-NMA co-eluted with PTH-serine and was accompanied by a minor component eluting just prior to dimethylphenylthiourea. Similar results were obtained on manual derivatization of synthetic gamma-NMA to prepare the PTH derivative. The PTH-delta-N-methylglutamine standard eluted near the position of dimethylphenylthiourea under the usual conditions employed for the identification of PTH-amino acid derivatives in automated protein sequencing.
