A novel procedure for porcine C5a purification is described which yields milligram quantities of anaphylatoxin from 1 liter of complement-activated serum. The strategy for isolation employs acid precipitation of the activated serum, gel filtration of the acid-soluble fraction, and SP-Sephadex chromatography using gradient elution. Final purification is achieved using QAE-Sephadex chromatography. The product obtained migrates as a single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate or on pH 4.5 polyacrylamide gels after electrophoresis, and appears homogeneous after microzone electrophoresis on cellulose acetate strips at pH 8.5. The apparent molecular weight is 8500 as determined by gel filtration on Sephadex G-50. Unlike human C5a, the porcine polypeptide shows no evidence of carbohydrate when stained by periodic acid-Schiff reagent in polyacrylamide gels. Automated NHz-terminal sequence analysis provided the following partial structure for porcineC5a: NHz-M!+ Leu-Gln-Lys-Lys-Ile-Glu-Glu-Glu-J&-Ala-Lys-. A COOH-terminal structure-Gin-Leu-Gly-Arg-COOH is proposed based upon sequential degradation of the polypeptide using carboxypeptidases B and Y. Ten of the twelve NH&erminal residues are identical in human and porcine C5a and complete homology is observed for the 4 residues assigned at the COOH terminus. The purified porcine anaphylatoxin induces smooth muscle (ileal) contraction at a concentration of 5 X 10-l’M, and is chemotactic for human polymorphonuclear leukocytes with an EDSo value of 3 to 4 X lo-’M (ED6,, for human C5a is 1 to 3 X lo-’M).
