The NH2-terminal blocking group of the 43-kDa peripheral membrane protein (43-kDa protein) of Torpedo post-synaptic membranes has been identified as myristic acid. To identify that blocking group pure 43-kDa protein was digested with trypsin and the blocked tryptic peptide was isolated by reverse phase HPLC. That peptide coeluted with and had the same amino acid composition as a synthetic peptide, myristoyl-Gly-Gln-Asp-Gln-Thr-Lys, the structure of the amino terminus predicted from the protein sequence deduced from a cDNA clone. The presence of myristate was confirmed by the precise molecular mass of the peptide, 886.5266, determined by fast atom bombardment mass spectroscopy.
