A new proalbumin variant: Albumin Jaffna (−1 Arg→Leu)
View through CrossRef
Albumin Jaffna is an electrophoretically slowly moving genetic variant of human serum albumin found in two members of a Tamil family from Jaffna (Northern Sri Lanka), both heterozygous for the abnormal protein. Sequential analysis of albumin Jaffna, purified from serum by ion exchange chromatography on DEAE Sephadex and Mono Q columns, revealed that this variant is a new abnormal proalbumin, arising from a −1 Arg→Leu substitution, which prevents the proteolytic removal of the N‐terminal hexapeptide and allows the mutated proalbumin to enter the circulation. The presence of two additional positive charges is in keeping with the decreased electrophoretic mobility of albumin Jaffna, as well as with its isoelectric point of 5.01, determined by chromatofocusing on a Mono P column. The variant is selectively cleaved by trypsin in vitro, leaving leucine −1 as N‐terminal residue.
