Human thrombin, prepared from an extrinsically activated prothrombin, was finally chromatographed on an affinity column of p-chlorobenzylamido-ϵ-aminocaproyl agarose. After reduction and s-pyridylethylation, the A and B chains were separated. The A chain contains 36 residues and no carbohydrate and has a formula weight of 4093. Its sequence corresponds to 14–49 of the bovine A chain sequence with nine replacements. Human B chain contains 264 residues. The carbohydrate content is 3.5% neutral sugar, 2.6% glucosamine, and 1.5% sialic acid. High-speed sedimentation equilibrium in guanidine gave a minimum molecular weight of 33,500. Sequenator analysis yielded the first 50 amino-terminal residues and established the positions of three of the cyanogen bromide fragments. A fourth fragment lacked homoserine and was placed at the carboxyl-terminus. The four remaining fragments, comprising half of the B chain, were tentatively assigned positions by assuming homology with bovine thrombin and with pancreatic serine proteases. Within the B chain, the active site histidine and serine were both in highly conservative regions, and an Arg-Tyr bond has been identified as a biological degradation site. Sixty-nine percent of the primary structure of human thrombin was identified by sequenator analysis. In comparing this sequence with that reported for the bovine molecule, 26 replacements are present.
