Marilyn A. Niemann,* Ajit S. Bhown, J. Claude Bennett, and John E. Volanakis abstract: The primary structure of human D, the serine protease activating the C3convertase of the alternative com-plement pathway, has been deducedby sequencing peptides derived from various chemical (CNBr and o-iodosobenzoic acid) and enzymatic (trypsin, lysine protease, Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease, and chymotrypsin) cleavages. Carboxypeptidase A was also used to confirm the COOH-terminal sequence. The peptides were purified by high-pressure liquid chromatography. The proposed sequence of human D contains 222 amino acids andhas a calculated molecular weight of 23 748. It exhibits a high degree of homology with otherserine proteases, especially around the NH2-terminus as well as the three residues corresponding to the active-site His-57, Asp-102, and Ser-195 (chymotrypsinogen numbering). This sequence homology is highest (40%) with plasmin, intermediate (35%)
