Characterization and primary sequence of a human hepatic microsomal estriol UDPglucuronosyltransferase

A human liver microsomal UDP glucuronosyltransferase (UDPGT) that demonstrates reactivity with estriol (pI 7.4 UDPGT) has been purified to homogeneity and characterized further. No activity toward morphine, 4-hydroxybiphenyl, bilirubin, or tripelennamine was observed. The estriol UDPGT shows immunoreactivity with antibodies raised against rat hepatic microsomal 3 alpha- and 17 beta-hydroxysteroid UDPGTs but not with antibodies raised against rat hepatic microsomal p-nitrophenol UDPGT. The NH2-terminal sequence of the purified protein was determined and found to correspond to an identical sequence in the deduced amino acid sequence of a cDNA obtained from a human liver library in lambda gt11 (HLUG4). Sequence analysis revealed that HLUG4 is 2094 bp in length and encodes a protein of 523 amino acids which has a 16 amino acid leader sequence, followed by an untranslated 3' region of 525 bp. Three potential N-glycosylation sites were identified in the predicted sequence. The deduced amino acid sequence of estriol UDPGT showed 82% identity with the deduced amino acid sequence of another human hepatic cDNA (HLUG25), which has been expressed as a UDPGT capable of 6 alpha-hydroxyglucuronidation of hyodeoxycholic acid, strongly suggesting that these proteins are members of the same gene subfamily.     

Isolation and characterization of human cDNA clones encoding the alpha and the alpha' subunits of casein kinase II

Casein kinase II is a widely distributed protein serine/threonine kinase. The holoenzyme appears to be a tetramer, containing two alpha or alpha' subunits (or one of each) and two beta subunits. Complementary DNA clones encoding the subunits of casein kinase II were isolated from a human T-cell lambda gt10 library using cDNA clones isolated from Drosophila melanogaster [Saxena et al. (1987) Mol. Cell. Biol. 7, 3409-3417]. One of the human cDNA clones (hT4.1) was 2.2 kb long, including a coding region of 1176 bp preceded by 156 bp (5' untranslated region) and followed by 871 bp (3' untranslated region). The hT4.1 clone was nearly identical in size and sequence with a cDNA clone from HepG2 human hepatoma cultured cells [Meisner et al. (1989) Biochemistry 28, 4072-4076]. Another of the human T-cell cDNA clones (hT9.1) was 1.8 kb long, containing a coding region of 1053 bp preceded by 171 bp (5' untranslated region) and followed by 550 bp (3' untranslated region). Amino acid sequences deduced from these two cDNA clones were about 85% identical. Most of the difference between the two encoded polypeptides was in the carboxy-terminal region, but heterogeneity was distributed throughout the molecules. Partial amino acid sequence was determined in a mixture of alpha and alpha' subunits from bovine lung casein kinase II. The bovine sequences aligned with the 2 human cDNA-encoded polypeptides with only 2 discrepancies out of 535 amino acid positions. This confirmed that the two human T-cell cDNA clones encoded the alpha and alpha' subunits of casein kinase II. Microsequence data determined from separated preparations of bovine casein kinase II alpha subunit and alpha' subunit [Litchfield et al. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 7638-7644] confirmed that hT4.1 encoded the alpha subunit and hT9.1 encoded the alpha' subunit. These studies show that there are two distinct catalytic subunits for casein kinase II (alpha and alpha') and that the sequence of these subunits is largely conserved between the bovine and the human.

Identification of the tree shrew ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) and its expression in tissues

ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) modulates plasma levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL), a cardiovascular protecting factor. Tree shrew was considered to be an animal protected from atherosclerosis characterized by high proportion of HDL in plasma. The cDNA clones and expression of tree shrew ABCA1 was identified using SMART-RACE and Real-Time PCR techniques respectively. The nucleotide sequence of tree shrew ABCA1 covered 7,762 bp, including a 6,786 bp coding region which encoded a 2,261 amino acids protein with the high identity to human ABCA1 (95%). Tree shrew ABCA1 was expressed in various tissues, the highest in lung, followed by liver, kidney, spleen and cardiac muscle in turn from high to medium expression levels. This pattern was partially different from that of human ABCA1 which was low in kidney and cardiac muscle. This work could shed new light on its role of ABCA1 in the distinctive HDL metabolism in tree shrew.

Molecular cloning of the alcohol/hydroxysteroid form (hSTa) of sulfotransferase from human liver.

A cDNA encoding the human alcohol/hydroxysteroid sulfotransferase (h-ST-a), which catalyzes the sulfo-conjugation of many drugs and hormones, was isolated from a human liver cDNA library using a rat STa (rSTa) cDNA probe. The cDNA, designated as hSTa, consists of 1069 base pairs (bp) and contains an 855-nucleotide open reading frame beginning at nucleotide 65, which encodes a 285 amino acid polypeptide of 33.76 kDa. A second cDNA clone (1563 bp) was truncated 5' at nucleotide 231 (lacking the first 15 amino acids) with identical coding region, however, it had a much longer 3' untranslated region (UTR). Both clones contained a short segment of poly(A)+ tail. Northern blot analysis of an adult human liver showed that there are at least 2 mature mRNA with sizes ranging from approximately 1.1 kb to 1.7 kb, verifying the authenticity of the obtained cDNA clones. From the sequence alignment, the hSTa shares 62%/74%, 39%/59%, 35%/48%, 36%/54% identity with rSTa, rSTp (phenol), rSTe (estrogen), and bovine STe (bSTe) at the deduced amino acid and DNA levels, respectively, indicating that there are at least three subfamilies (alcohol, phenol and estrogen) of genes that encode for sulfotransferases in mammals.
