Electrophoresis of concentrated parotid saliva on slab polyacrylamide gels negatively stained with 3,3'-dimethoxybenzidine and hydrogen peroxide (DMB stain) showed nine phenotypes among the proline-rieh proteins. These phenotypes are the expression of four autosomal codominant alleles. Gene frequenc

β¦ Synopsis
The acidic proline-rich proteins ( Pr) showing genetic polymorphism were purified from human parotid salivas by gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography. Molecular weight determinations, amino acid composition analyses, and polypeplide mapping experiments indicate that the Pr 3 protein is a fragment qfl the Pr 1 protein. Studies of a parotid saliva factor capable of converting Pr 1 to Pr 3 and Pr 2 to Pr 4 indicate that Pr 3 and Pr 4 are generated from Pr 1 and Pr 2, respectively. Evidence suggests that the converting.factor is a protease capable o J" posttranslationally cleaving Pr 1 and Pr 2, the primary or derived products of alleles Pr I and Pr 2.

## Abstract The solid phase synthesis of a 59 amino acid human salivary protein IB7 has been accomplished using Fmoc strategy. Because the protein contains 25 proline, 13 glycine and 9 glutamine residues the coupling time, piperidine delivery and acetic anhydride reaction time were increased. Yield
