Revised Manuscript Received July 21, 1986 abstract: Bovine brain prostatropin is a potent and essential mitogen for prostate epithelial cell growth. The major form of prostatropin contains 154 amino acid residues in a single amino terminally blocked chain corresponding to a molecular weight of 17 400. The amino acid sequence of the 150 carboxy-terminal residues of prostatropin was derived by Edman degradation of overlapping peptides primarily generated by cleavage at lysyl and glutamyl residues. Analysis of the amino-terminal tetradecapeptide by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry identified the blocking group as an acetyl moiety, and tandem mass spectrometry provided thé sequence of the first 12 residues. Prostatropin residues 15-154 contain the sequence of bovine brain polypeptides recently described as acidic fibroblast growth factor and class I heparin-binding growth factor. The sequence of the first 25 residues of prostatropin is acetyl-Ala-(Gly, Glu)-Glu-Thr-Thr-Thr-Phe-Thr-Ala-Leu-Thr-Glu-Lys-Phe-Asn-Leu-Pro-Leu-Gly-Asn-Tyr-Lys-Lys-Pro. Reduced and carboxymethylated prostatropin exhibits mitogenic activity, suggesting that disulfide bonds among cysteine residues 30, 61, and 97 are not functionally essential. These results demonstrate by rigorousstructural analysis that the brain-derived polypeptide previously described only as a mesenchymal and neuroectodermal cell mitogen is also an epithelial cell growth factor that may be involved in support of prostate hyperplasia and ade-nocarcinoma. e androgen-independent proliferation of isolated epithelial cells from androgen-responsive rat prostate tumors and an-drogen-dependent normal prostate of rat and human requires polypeptides (prostatropins) that are concentrated in neural tissue1 (McKeehan et al., 1984; Chaproniere & McKeehan, 1986). Two molecular forms of prostatropins were recently purified to homogeneity from bovine brain by ammonium sulfate fractionation, heparin-agarose chromatography, and reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) 2 (Crabb et al., 1986). One form had a molecular weight of about 16000 and an unblocked amino terminus, and the other form had a molecular weight of about 18 000 and a blocked amino terminus. The two forms were distributed
