RESUMO
A K+/Ca2+ electrogenic ionophore has been isolated from an ionophoroprotein of beef heart mitochondria and identified as a neutral peptide of molecular weight 1600. The amino acid composition and cationic specificity of the ionophore have been determined. The free ionophore was released from the ionophoroprotein as a consequence of tryptic digestion. The ionophoroprotein can be converted to an ionophoro peptide (molecular weight 5,100) by proteolysis without release of the free ionophore. The isolation of a K+/Ca2+ ionophore thus provides an introduction to the general technology of extracting ionophoro proteins and ofreleasing ionophores from these proteins by proteolytic digestion.
