Isolation and complete nucleotide sequence of the gene for bovine parathyroid hormone 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
The structure of the bovine parathyroid hormone (PTH) gene has been analyzed by Southern blot hybridization of genomic DNA and by nucleotide sequence analysis of a cloned PTH gene. In the Southern analysis, several restriction enzymes produced single fragments that hybridized to PTH cDNA suggesting that there is a single bovine PTH gene. The restriction map of the cloned gene is the same as that determined by Southern blot analysis of bovine DNA. The sequence of 3154 bp of the cloned gene has been determined including 510 bp and 139 bp in the 5' and 3' flanking regions, respectively. The gene contains two introns which separate three exons that code primarily for: (i) the 5' untranslated region, (ii) the pre-sequence of preProPTH, and (iii) PTH and the 3' untranslated region. The gene contains 68% A + T and unusually long stretches of 100- to 150-bp sequences containing alternating A and T nucleotides in the 5' flanking region and intron A. The 5' flanking region contains two TATA sequences, both of which appear to be functional as determined by S1 nuclease mapping. Compared to the rat and human genes, the locations of the introns are identical but the sizes differ. Comparable human and bovine sequences in the flanking regions and introns are about 80% homologous. 相似文献

A sucrose: sucrose 1-fructosyltransferase (1-SST) gene and cDNA (Lp 1-SST) from perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) were isolated. The Lp 1-SST gene was fully sequenced and shown to contain three exons and two introns. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the 4824 bp Lp 1-SST genomic sequence revealed 1618 bp of 5' UTR and an open reading frame of 1962 bp encoding a protein of 653 amino acids. Lp 1-SST is 95% identical to the tall fescue 1-SST and contains plant fructosyltransferase functional domains. Lp 1-SST corresponds to a single copy gene in perennial ryegrass, and is expressed in young leaf bases and mature leaf sheaths. The recombinant Lp 1-SST protein from corresponding cDNA expression in Pichia pastoris showed 1-SST activity. 相似文献

Human cDNAs coding for angiogenin, a human tumor derived angiogenesis factor, were isolated from a cDNA library prepared from human liver poly(A) mRNA employing a synthetic oligonucleotide as a hybridization probe. The largest cDNA insert (697 base pairs) contained a short 5'-noncoding sequence followed by a sequence coding for a signal peptide of 24 (or 22) amino acids, 369 nucleotides coding for the mature protein of 123 amino acids, a stop codon, a 3'-noncoding sequence of 175 nucleotides, and a poly(A) tail. The gene coding for human angiogenin was then isolated from a genomic lambda Charon 4A bacteriophage library employing the cDNA as a probe. The nucleotide sequence of the gene and the adjacent 5'- and 3'-flanking regions (4688 base pairs) was then determined. The coding and 3'-noncoding regions of the gene for human angiogenin were found to be free of introns, and the DNA sequence for the gene agreed well with that of the cDNA. The gene contained a potential TATA box in the 5' end in addition to two Alu repetitive sequences immediately flanking the 5' and 3' ends of the gene. The third Alu sequence was also found about 500 nucleotides downstream from the Alu sequence at the 3' end of the gene. The amino acid sequence of human angiogenin as predicted from the gene sequence was in complete agreement with that determined by amino acid sequence analysis. It is about 35% homologous with human pancreatic ribonuclease, and the amino acid residues that are essential for the activity of ribonuclease are also conserved in angiogenin. This provocative finding is thought to have important physiological implications. 相似文献

We have determined the nucleotide sequence of 4508 base pairs of human genomic DNA which contain the human serine esterase gene from cytotoxic T lymphocytes (SECT) (equivalent to the 1-3E cDNA clone) and include 879 bp of 5' flanking DNA and 393 bp of 3' flanking DNA. The gene consists of five exons of 88, 148, 136, 261, and 257 nucleotides separated by four introns of 1043, 455, 205, and 643 nucleotides. The location of introns with respect to protein coding sequences in the SECT gene is identical to that of the human cathepsin G and murine granzyme B genes. Comparison of SECT gene exonic sequences to murine granzyme B-F cDNA sequences indicates similarities of 75 and 72% for granzymes B and C and 61, 59, and 61% for granzymes D, E, and F, respectively. The 5' flanking sequence of the SECT gene showed similarity only to the 5' flanking sequence of the murine granzyme B gene, indicating that these genes are homologous. Comparison of the SECT gene sequence to the human cathepsin G sequence indicated no similarity in the 5' flanking DNA although the exonic sequences show 64% sequence similarity overall and 45% sequence similarity in the respective 3' untranslated regions. These similarities suggest that the SECT and cathepsin G genes are members of the same family of serine protease genes. Evidence from high and low stringency Southern transfer analysis of human genomic DNA indicates the presence of another gene of at least 85% sequence similarity to the SECT gene. 相似文献

Genomic clones, cDNA clones, and protein of the maize (Zea mays L.) Suc synthase1 (sus1) gene were isolated and sequenced. Termini (5' and 3') of the transcribed unit were identified. The SUS1 protein was purified from tissue culture cells as a phosphorylated protein. The overall structure of sus1 is virtually identical with that of the paralogous gene, shrunken1 (sh1); however, the last intron of sh1 is missing in sus1. This intron bears much sequence similarity with the adjacent exon, suggesting that the intron arose from an internal duplication. Although the placement of the other 14 introns is identical in both genes, the introns exhibit markedly greater differences in size and sequence relative to that shown by the exons. An explanation for the differential rate of divergence of exons and introns is selection pressure for gene function. Additionally, comparisons of coding regions of plant sucrose synthases show that sh1-like and sus1-like genes can be found in all monocots so far analyzed. These latter observations point to an important role played by both genes in this group of plants. 相似文献

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been used to generate a series of overlapping genomic clones representing 43 bp of 5' untranslated sequence, 63 bp of 3' untranslated sequence and the entire coding sequence of the gene encoding potato cytosolic pyruvate kinase (PKc). This portion of the gene is approximately 4.5 kb in length and is interrupted by three introns, one of which is present in the 5' untranslated region. Southern blot analysis indicates that PKc is encoded by a small gene family, and sequence data from a number of PCR-derived genomic clones indicate that there are as many as six PKc genes. Sequence differences between the PCR-generated genomic clones and a PKc cDNA clone are discussed with respect to the fidelity of Taq polymerase. An alignment of intron placement in the potato PKc gene with intron placement in PK genes from other sources indicates that two of the potato introns correspond to intron positions in other species. 相似文献

Cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD; EC 1.1.1.195) catalyses the conversion of p-hydroxy-cinnamaldehydes to the corresponding alcohols and is considered a key enzyme in lignin biosynthesis. By a differential screening of a strawberry (Fragariax ananassa cv. Chandler) fruit specific subtractive cDNA library, a full-length clone corresponding to a cad gene was isolated (Fxacad1). Northern blot and quantitative real time PCR studies indicated that the strawberry Fxacad1 gene is expressed in fruits, runners, leaves, and flowers but not in roots. In addition, the gene presented a differential expression in fruits along the ripening process. Moreover, by screening of a strawberry genomic library a cad gene was isolated (Fxacad2). Similar to that found in other cad genes from higher plants, this strawberry cad gene is structured in five exons and four introns. Southern blot analyses suggest that, probably, a small cad gene family exists in strawberry. RT-PCR studies indicated that only the Fxacad1 gene was expressed in all the fruit ripening stages and vegetative tissues analysed. The Fxacad1 cDNA was expressed in E. coli cells and the corresponding protein was used to raise antibodies against the strawberry CAD polypeptide. The antibodies obtained were used for immunolocalization studies. The results showed that the CAD polypeptide was localized in lignifying cells of all the tissues examined (achenes, fruit receptacles, runners, leaves, pedicels, and flowers). Additionally, the cDNA was also expressed in yeast (Pichia pastoris) as an extracellular protein. The recombinant protein showed activity with the characteristic substrates of CAD enzymes from angiosperms, indicating that the gene cloned corresponds to a CAD protein. 相似文献

Cloning and functional comparison of a high-affinity K+ transporter gene PhaHKT1 of salt-tolerant and salt-sensitive reed plants 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
To understand the mechanisms of ion homeostasis in salt-tolerant and salt-sensitive plants, cDNAs for a high-affinity K(+) transporter PhaHKT1 were isolated from salt-sensitive (Utsunomiya) and salt-tolerant (Nanpi, Enchi) reed plants. A cDNA of Utsunomiya (PhaHKT1-u) contained two insertions in the region corresponding to the first and second introns of the PhaHKT1 gene, which resulted in a sequence 141 amino acid residues shorter than that of Nanpi. Expression of PhaHKT1 mRNA was detected in the roots of Nanpi and Enchi plants under K(+) starvation conditions and also under Na(+) treatment conditions, whereas it was only slightly detected in the roots of Utsunomiya plants under each of these conditions. In the upper parts, PhaHKT1 expression was detected in the Utsunomiya plants, and two signals were obtained in the Nanpi and Enchi plants under all and K(+) starvation conditions, respectively. Yeasts expressing the PhaHKT1 of Nanpi (PhaHKT1-n) or the PhaHKT1 of Enchi (PhaHKT1-e) grew better in the presence of NaCl than yeast expressing PhaHKT1-u. Furthermore, yeast expressing a chimeric cDNA containing the 5' region of the Utsunomiya gene and the 3' region of the Nanpi gene had partial salt tolerance, and yeast expressing a chimeric cDNA containing the 5' region of the Nanpi gene and the 3' region of the Utsunomiya gene had a reduced ability to take up ions. These results suggest that PhaHKT1 plays an important role in the acquisition of K(+) and maintenance of ion balance under saline conditions. 相似文献

Structure and chromosome assignment of the murine p36 (calpactin I heavy chain) gene 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

p36 is a major substrate of both viral and growth factor receptor associated protein kinases. This protein has recently been named calpactin I heavy chain since it is the large subunit of a Ca2(+)-dependent phospholipid and actin binding heterotetramer. The primary structure of p36 has been determined from analysis of cloned cDNA. The protein contains 338 amino acids, has an approximate molecular weight of 39,000, and is comprised of several distinct domains, including four 75 amino acid repeats. From two overlapping cosmid clones isolated from different mouse genomic liver libraries, the complete intron/exon structure of the p36 gene was determined and the 5' and 3' noncoding regions of the gene were analyzed. The coding and 3' untranslated region of the p36 gene contains 12 exons which range in size from 48 to 322 base pairs (bp) with an average size of 107 bp. The repeat structures found at the protein level are not delineated by single exons, but the N-terminal p11-binding domain is encoded by a single exon. Structural mapping of the gene demonstrated that the lengths of the first two introns in the coding region are together approximately 6 kilobases (kb), while the other introns range in size from 600 to 3600 bp with an average size of 1650 bp. The p36 gene is at least 22 kb in length and has a coding sequence of approximately 1 kb, representing only 4.5% of the gene.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

A promiscuous nuclear sequence containing a mitochondrial DNA fragment was isolated from rice. Nucleotide sequence analysis reveals that the cDNA clone #21 carries a mitochondrial sequence homologous to the 3' portion of the rps19 gene followed by the 5' portion of the rps3 gene. The mitochondrial sequence is present in an antisense orientation. Sequence comparison of the #21 cDNA with the original mitochondrial sequence shows 99% similarity, suggesting a recent transfer event. Moreover, evidence for a lack of an RNA editing event and retaining of the group II intron sequence strongly suggests that the sequence was transferred from mitochondrion to the nucleus via DNA rather than RNA as an intermediate. The upstream region to the mitochondria-derived sequence shows homology to part of the vacuolar H(+)-ATPase B subunit (V-ATPase B) gene. Isolation of a functional V-ATPase B cDNA and its comparison with the #21 cDNA reveal a number of nucleotide substitutions resulting in many translational stop codons in the #21 cDNA. This indicates that the #21 cDNA sequence is not functional. Analysis of genomic sequences shows the presence of five intron sequences in the #21 cDNA, whereas the functional V-ATPase B gene has 14 introns. Of these, three exons and their internal two introns are homologous to each other, suggesting a duplication event of V-ATPase B genomic DNA. The results of this investigation strongly suggest that the mitochondrial sequence was integrated in an antisense orientation into the pre-existing V-ATPase B pseudogene that can be transcribed and spliced. This represents a case of unsuccessful gene transfer from mitochondrion to the nucleus. 相似文献
