Abstract
A cDNA clone encoding a psychrophilic cod chymotrypsinogen has been is olated and characterized. The predicted amino acid sequence reveals a preproenzyme of 263 amino acids containing a unique 18 residue signal sequence. Amino acid sequence identity between the cod and mammalian c hymotrypsinogens is 64-68%. Two highly conserved proline residues are substituted in cod chymotrypsin.
