Abstract
Three peptides were isolated from bovine seminal plasma and purified to homogeneity. The amino acid sequences, as determined by FAB mass spectrometry, are the following: pGlu-Ala-Glu-Ser-Asn-OH, pGlu-Ala-Glu-Ser(PO3H2-Asn-OH and pGlu-Val-Gly-Glu-Ser-Glu-Asn-OH. These three peptides and some of their analogues were synthesized using liquid- and solid-phase techniques. The pentapeptide pGlu-Ala-Glu- Ser-Asn-OH showed a remarkable affinity for kinase NII and a strong inhibiting activity in DNA transcription. These findings support the hypothesis that phosphorylated acidic domains of nuclear non-histone proteins could bind to DNA, thereby controlling transcription.
