The amino acid sequence and disulfide bond pairing of human tumor derived angiogenin, the first tumor angiogenesis factor to be isolated in pure form from human sources, have been determined by conventional sequencing techniques adapted and applied to nanomole and subnanomole levels of material. Angiogenin, obtained from conditioned media of a human colonic adenocarcinoma cell line, is a single-chain protein consisting of 123 amino acids with the following sequence: < Glu1-Asp-Asn-Ser-Arg-Tyr-Thr-His-Phe-Leu-Thr-Gln-His-Tyr-Asp15-Ala-Lys-Pro-Gln-Gly-Arg-Asp-Asp-Arg-Tyr-Cys-Glu-Ser-Ile-Met30-Arg-Arg-Arg-Gly-Leu-Thr-Ser-Pro-Cys-Lys-Asp-Ile-Asn-Thr-Phe45-Ile-His-Gly-Asn-Lys-Arg-Ser-Ile-Lys-Ala-Ile-Cys-Glu-Asn-Lys60-Asn-Gly-Asn-Pro-His-Arg-Glu-Asn-Leu-Arg-Ile-Ser-Lys-Ser-Ser75-Phe-Gln-Val-Thr-Thr-Cys-Lys-Leu-His-Gly-Gly-Ser-Pro-Trp-Pro90-Pro-Cys-Gln-Tyr-Arg-Ala-Thr-Ala-Gly-Phe-Arg-Asn-Val-Val-Val105-Ala-Cys-Glu-Asn-Gly-Leu-Pro-Val-His-Leu -Asp-Gln-Ser-Ile-Phe120-Arg-Arg-Pro123-OH. Three disulfide bonds link the half-cystinyl residues 26-81, 39-92, and 57-107. The sequence is homologous to that of the pancreatic ribonucleases with 35% identity and many of the remaining residues conservatively replaced. Similarities are especially apparent around the major active-site residues His-12, Lys-41, and His-119 of ribonuclease which are conserved as are three of the four disulfide bonds. The complete chemical characterization of a unique human organogenic messenger molecule, i.e., one that can induce organ formation, accomplishes the first major objective of this long-term investigation of organogenesis in general and angiogenesis in particular. The unexpected homology to ribonuclease suggests novel approaches to the investigation of the biological process of angiogenesis.
