Title: The amino acid sequence of cytochrome c from Allium porrum L. (leek). Author: Brown RH, Boulter D. Journal: Biochem J; 1973 Feb; 131(2):247-51. PubMed ID: 4352905. Abstract: The amino acid sequence of leek cytochrome c was determined with 0.4mumol of protein. The sequence was deduced solely from a chymotryptic digest. The cytochrome was homologous with other plant cytochromes c of mitochondrial origin. Leek cytochrome c has an N-acetylated ;tail' as compared with mammalian cytochrome c, and two residues of epsilon-N-trimethyl-lysine. Unlike other plant cytochromes c, leek cytochrome c has glutamic acid or glutamine in position 11, leucine in position 20 and alanine in position 51. 4-Hydroxyproline partially substitutes for proline in position 79.
