Rat liver beta-glucuronidase. cDNA cloning, sequence comparisons and expression of a chimeric protein in COS cells.

A cDNA for rat liver beta-glucuronidase was isolated, its sequence determined and its expression after transfection into COS cells studied. The deduced amino acid sequence of the rat liver clone showed 77% homology with that from the cDNA for human placental beta-glucuronidase and 47% homology with that deduced from the cDNA for Escherichia coli beta-glucuronidase. Several differences were found between the cDNA from rat liver and that previously reported from rat preputial gland. Only one change leads to an amino acid difference in the mature enzyme. A chimeric clone was constructed by using a fragment encoding the first 18 amino acid residues of the signal sequence from the human placental cDNA clone and a fragment from the rat clone encoding four amino acid residues of the signal sequence, all 626 amino acid residues of the mature rat enzyme, and all of the 3' untranslated region. After transfection into COS cells the chimeric clone expressed beta-glucuronidase activity that was specifically immunoprecipitated by antibody to rat beta-glucuronidase. The Mr value of 76,000 of the expressed gene product was characteristic of the glycosylated rat enzyme. It was proteolytically processed in COS cells to Mr 75,000 6 h after metabolic labelling. At least 50% of the expressed enzyme was secreted at 60 h post-transfection, but the secreted enzyme did not undergo proteolytic processing. These results provide evidence that the partial cDNA isolated from a rat liver library contains the complete coding sequence for the mature rat liver enzyme and that the chimeric signal sequence allows normal biosynthesis and processing of the transfected rat liver enzyme in COS cells.     

Molecular cloning and characterization of N-syndecan, a novel transmembrane heparan sulfate proteoglycan

A cDNA clone coding for a membrane proteoglycan core protein was isolated from a neonatal rat Schwann cell cDNA library by screening with an oligonucleotide based on a conserved sequence in cDNAs coding for previously described proteoglycan core proteins. Primer extension and polymerase chain reaction amplification were used to obtain additional 5' protein coding sequences. The deduced amino acid sequence predicted a 353 amino acid polypeptide with a single membrane spanning segment and a 34 amino acid hydrophilic COOH-terminal cytoplasmic domain. The putative extracellular domain contains three potential glycosaminoglycan attachment sites, as well as a domain rich in Thr and Pro residues. Analysis of the cDNA and deduced amino acid sequences revealed a high degree of identity with the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains of previously described proteoglycans but a unique extracellular domain sequence. On Northern blots the cDNA hybridized to a single 5.6-kb mRNA that was present in Schwann cells, neonatal rat brain, rat heart, and rat smooth muscle cells. A 16-kD protein fragment encoded by the cDNA was expressed in bacteria and used to immunize rabbits. The resulting antibodies reacted on immunoblots with the core protein of a detergent extracted heparan sulfate proteoglycan. The core protein had an apparent mass of 120 kD. When the anti-core protein antibodies were used to stain tissue sections immunoreactivity was present in peripheral nerve, newborn rat brain, heart, aorta, and other neonatal tissues. A ribonuclease protection assay was used to quantitate levels of the core protein mRNA. High levels were found in neonatal rat brain, heart, and Schwann cells. The mRNA was barely detectable in neonatal or adult liver, or adult brain.     

Synthesis and characterization of a bovine hexokinase 1 cDNA probe by mixed oligonucleotide primed amplification of cDNA using high complexity primer mixtures

Hexokinase (EC 2.7.1.1) catalyzes the first step in glucose metabolism, using ATP for the phosphorylation of glucose to glucose 6-phosphate. A portion of the HK1 gene was cloned by mixed oligonucleotide primer amplification of cDNA using primers of high complexity. The amino acid sequence for a partial fragment of bovine cardiac muscle HK was determined and used to create primer mixtures of 256- and 1024-fold complexity. Two products were generated from bovine cardiac muscle cDNA which show 82% nucleotide and 93% amino acid identity with a region of rat brain HK1 and cDNA. This work demonstrates that extension and amplification of cDNA probes may be successful even when amino acid sequence data indicate substantial codon degeneracy.     

Cloning and Characterization of a Soluble Kynurenine Aminotransferase from Rat Brain: Identity with Kidney Cysteine Conjugate β-Lyase

Abstract: In this study, we describe the cloning and characterization of a soluble form of kynurenine aminotransferase (KAT, EC 2.6.1.7) present in rat brain. Soluble KAT was purified from rat kidney and the amino acid sequences of four tryptic peptides determined. These peptides were found to belong to the amino acid sequence reported for rat kidney soluble cysteine conjugate β-lyase, indicating that rat kidney KAT and β-lyase represent the same molecular entity. Oligonucleotide probes derived from the β-lyase cDNA were then used as primers for PCR of reverse-transcribed rat brain poly(A)⁺ RNA. After subcloning of the resulting PCR fragment and sequencing of the isolated rat brain clone, its oligonucleotide sequence was found to be identical to that reported for the β-lyase cDNA. Further evidence that the isolated rat brain clone encoded for KAT was obtained by transfecting HEK-293 cells with a construct containing the coding sequence for the enzyme. The transfected cells exhibited KAT activity and, in the presence of 2 m M pyruvate and 2-oxoglutarate, the K _m values for l -kynurenine were 1.2 m M and 86.3 µ M , respectively. Northern blot analysis of rat kidney, liver, and brain RNA revealed a single species of KAT/β-lyase mRNA of ∼2.1 kb.     

Molecular cloning of cDNA for the catalytic subunit of rat liver type 2A protein phosphatase, and detection of high levels of expression of the gene in normal and cancer cells

A cloned cDNA encoding a catalytic subunit of type 2A protein phosphatase from a rat liver cDNA library was obtained by use of a synthetic oligonucleotide corresponding to the tryptic peptide sequence of the purified enzyme. There was only a single amino acid difference between the deduced amino acid sequence of the clone obtained and those of the catalytic subunits, 2A alpha, of the rabbit skeletal muscle, porcine kidney and human liver enzymes, suggesting that this clone was a rat 2A alpha cDNA. On Northern blot analysis using a cDNA fragment as a probe, three mRNA species were detected in rat liver: a major mRNA of 2.0 kb and a minor one of 2.7 kb under high stringency conditions, and also a 1.1 kb mRNA under low stringency conditions. The 2A alpha gene was found to be highly expressed in various tissues of rat, especially the brain. High levels of expression of the gene were also detected in mouse NIH3T3 cells and their transformants, and in human cancer cell lines as well as a human immortalized cell line.     

细胞因子人MK基因的克隆及在大肠杆菌中的高效表达（简报）

For cloning the cytokine human Midkine (MK) gene, we designed by PCgene program and synthesized a pair of PCR specific primers according to the reported human MK cDNA sequence. Total cellular RNA was extracted from a human hepatoblastoma cell line HepG2, and then the target DNA fragment was obtained by RT-PCR and subcloned into plasmid pUC118. Checked with radioisotope sequencing and ABI 377A sequencer, the nucleotide sequence of the cloned MK cDNA was identical with the reported one. A prokaryotic expression vector, named pBV220, was used to express the MK protein efficiently in E. coli strain TG1 and a predicted band of 16.5 kD in Mr by 15% SDS-PAGE was found. The expressed recombinant protein was found in insoluble aggregated form and accounted for about 31.21% of the total cellular proteins. The first 15 N-terminal amino acid sequence analysis of this protein by Edman degradation method showed that it was accordant with that predicted from the cDNA sequence. The activity of neurite outgrowth-promoting of the MK crude samples was tested with brain cells isolated from 18-day embryos of SD rat.
