The complete amino acid sequence of transglutaminase (EC 2.3.2.13) (TGase), which is produced by a microorganism, Streptoverticillium sp. strain s-8112, and catalyzes the acyl transfer reaction between gamma-carboxyamide groups of glutamine residues in proteins and various primary amines, has been established by a combination of fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry and standard Edman degradation of peptide fragments produced by treatment of the TGase with various proteolytic enzymes and purified by a reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography. The TGase consists of 331 amino acid residues with a chemical molecular weight of 37,863, in agreement with the observed molecular weight (37,869.2 +/- 8.8) determined from its electrospray ionization mass spectrum. The sequence of the enzyme is very different from those of mammalian TGases represented by guinea pig liver enzyme. The enzyme contains a sole Cys residue, which is essential for its catalytic activity. Hydropathy analysis indicated that the secondary structure of the region around the active site Cys residue is similar to those of mammalian TGases. These results suggest that this microbial protein evolved by a different pathway from that of mammalian TGases and acquired acyl transfer activity during the evolutional process.
