The synthesis of two analogs of sequence 18-23 of bovine prothrombin precursor is described. Hexapeptides Boc-Cys (Acm)-Leu-Glu(OBzl)-Glu(OBzl)-Pro-Cys (Acm)-OBzl and Ac-Cys(Acm-Leu-Glu(OBzl)-Glu(OBzl)-Pro-Cys(Acm)-OMe were synthesized in solution by stepwise addition of Boc-amino acids using dicyclohexylcarbodiimide/N-hydroxybenzotriazole as the coupling reagent. The acetamidomethyl groups were

The vitamin K-dependent carboxylase extracted from rat liver microsomes by 3-([3-cholamidopropyl] dimethylammoniol)-1-propane sulfonate detergent solution has been partially purified by chromatography on Ultrogel AcA-34 followed by carboxymethyl-Sepharose chromatography and pentapeptide affinity chromatography. The carboxylase appears to be composed of two
Liver microsomes contain a vitamin K and O2-dependent carboxylase that converts peptide-bound glutamyl residues to gamma-carboxyglutamate residues. The peptide Boc-O-phospho-Ser-O-phospho-Ser-Leu-OMe has now been synthesized. This peptide inhibits the carboxylation of endogenous protein precursors by a detergent-solubilized preparation of the carboxylase
