The corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) is a 41-amino acid peptide-amide hormone, which mediates a general stress-response. It has been reported that the substitution of His-32 in the ovine CRF (oCRF) with Ala brings about a 4.5-fold increase in activity [Kornreich et al. (1992) J. Med. Chem. 35, 1870-76]. Here, we have determined the secondary structure of this Ala-substituted ovine CRF ([Ala32]oCRF) and...
