The complete amino acid sequence of chicken ovomucoid (OMCHI) is presented. OMCHI consists of three tandem domains, each homologous to pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor (Kazal) and each with an actual or putative reactive site for inhibition of serine proteinases. The major reactive site for bovine beta-trypsin is the Arg89-Ala peptide bond in the second domain. The equilibrium constant for hydrolysis of this peptide bond, K0hyd, is 1.85. The first and third domains of OMCHI are relatively ineffective inhibitors of several serine proteinases against which they were tested. OMCHI is a mixture of two forms: the major form with all of the amino acid residues and a minor form with Val134-Ser135 deleted. This polymorphism is present in all chicken eggs and is the result of ambiguous excision at the 5' end of the F intron. Procedures are given for preparation of modified chicken ovomucoid, OMCHI (in which the Arg89-Ala bond is hydrolyzed), of the first domain, OMCHI1 (residues 1-68), of the second domain, OMCHI2 (residues 65-130), and of the third domain, OMCHI3 (residues 131-186). In the case of the third domain, both the Asn175 glycosylated form, OMCHI3(+), and the carbohydrate-free form, OMCHI3(-), were obtained. These isolated native domains are useful in many studies of ovomucoid behavior.
