The amino acid sequence of the COOH-terminal light chain portion of bovine high-molecular-weight kininogen (HMWK) was reinvestigated, since some discrepancy of the amino acid sequence, which we reported previously, was found in the eDNA analysis for bovine HMWK (Kitamura, N. et al. (1983) Nature 305,545548). The results showed that the following positions in the light chain should be revised: Gln-23 to Glu, the sequence Asp-Asp-Asp-Trp-Ser at positions 6266 to Ser-Asp-Asp-Asp-Trp, Asp-102 to Asn, and Gln-109 to Glu.
