A cDNA clone for the bovine milk protein, alpha-lactalbumin (alpha LA), has been identified using a rat cDNA probe. The bovine cDNA clone is 703 nucleotides (nt) long, contains 8 nt of 5'-untranslated sequence and 269 nt of 3'-untranslated sequence. When compared with previously reported sequences, the bovine alpha LA mRNA sequence has 74% similarity with rat alpha LA mRNA, 79% similarity with human mRNA and 74% similarity with guinea pig mRNA. 相似文献

Human gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase cDNA: comparison of hepatoma and kidney mRNA in the human and rat 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
gamma-Glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) is a glutathione-metabolizing enzyme that has been extensively studied in relation to hepatocarcinogenesis. Using a cDNA for rat kidney GGT as a probe, we have isolated a full-length cDNA for human GGT from a hepatoma cell-line library. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the clone revealed a 2326-bp insert that includes a 5'-untranslated region of 487 nucleotides (nt), an open reading frame (ORF) of 1707 nt, and a 3'-untranslated region of 132 nt. The ORF encodes a protein with an amino acid sequence that is highly similar to that of the rat GGT precursor peptide, with an overall identity of 79%. The cDNA clone was used to probe Northern blots of hepatoma and kidney RNA from both human and rat. In both species, the GGT mRNA is longer in hepatoma than in kidney. In addition, the human mRNAs were longer than their counterparts in the rat. None of three human hepatocellular carcinomas examined showed a marked elevation in GGT mRNA levels relative to surrounding liver tissue. 相似文献

Vimentin cDNA clones covering the complete intermediate-filament protein are found in an EHS tumor cDNA library 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Intermediate filaments are part of the cytoskeleton of most cells. To analyze changes in intermediate filament synthesis, we have isolated two cDNA clones (pV-C25, pV-C877) that cover the complete coding sequence of the murine intermediate filament protein vimentin. The cDNA clones were isolated from a murine Engelbreth-Holm-Swan (EHS) tumor cDNA library by screening under (i) non-stringent conditions with a synthetic oligodeoxynucleotide (oligo), LW-36, which is specific for type-IV collagen, and (ii) stringent conditions with oligo LW75, which was derived from the vimentin clone pV-C25. The cDNA clones contain 38 nucleotides (nt) of the 5'-untranslated region, 1398 nt of the coding region and 7 nt of the 3'-untranslated region. Comparing the mouse sequence with the published sequence for vimentin from hamster, human and chicken, we find shared identities of 99, 97 and 87%, respectively. Since the cDNA clones have been isolated from a basement membrane tumor (EHS) cDNA library, we measured the vimentin mRNA production in EHS tumor cells in culture, and found that this mRNA is half as abundant as mRNA for type-IV mRNA. 相似文献

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. 相似文献

Affinity purification, peptide analysis, and cDNA sequence of the mouse interferon gamma receptor 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The receptor for mouse interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) was purified from detergent-solubilized plasma membranes of EL-4, a thymoma cell line which expresses a high number of receptors on its cell surface. The purification was carried out by immunoaffinity chromatography using an anti-receptor monoclonal antibody. The purified receptor was subjected to NH2-terminal sequence analysis as well as sequencing of endopeptidase-generated peptides. One of the peptides was found to be identical to a portion of the published amino acid sequence of the human IFN-gamma receptor deduced from cDNA. This information was utilized to construct a mixed-sequence oligodeoxynucleotide probe which permitted the isolation of a full-length cDNA clone coding for the mouse IFN-gamma receptor. The mouse IFN-gamma receptor cDNA is comprised of 105 base pairs of the 5'-untranslated region, an open reading frame coding for a 477-amino acid serine-rich protein having calculated Mr 52,276, and a 3'-untranslated region of 539 base pairs. The receptor is first synthesized as a pre-protein from which a 25-amino acid signal peptide is cleaved. The receptor contains a hydrophobic transmembrane portion near the center of the molecule. Northern blot analysis of various cell lines showed that each contained a single 2.0-kilobase mRNA. A direct correlation between the amount of IFN-gamma receptor mRNA and the level of receptor expressed on the cell surface was observed. The mouse and human IFN-gamma receptors are structurally similar, showing 51% over-all homology in amino acid sequence. Mouse IFN-gamma receptor cDNA when inserted in a mammalian shuttle vector and transfected into COS-7 monkey cells was able to direct the expression of specific binding activity for mouse IFN-gamma. 相似文献

Alternatively spliced human glutaredoxin (Grx1(as)) cDNA was isolated from a neutrophil cDNA library, using a (32)P-labeled human glutaredoxin (Grx1) cDNA probe under non-stringent conditions. The sequence of Grx1(as) cDNA indicated that the open reading frame of the gene was identical to the open reading frame of the previously reported first human glutaredoxin (Grx1) cDNA, but the 3'-untranslated region of Grx1(as) was not homologous to Grx1 cDNA. Northern blot and RT-PCR analyses showed Grx1(as) mRNA was expressed in normal human neutrophils and transformed cells including U937, HL-60, THP, and Jurkat cells. Cloning and sequencing of the genomic gene corresponding to Grx1(as) cDNA showed that two different glutaredoxin cDNAs (Grx1(as) and Grx1) were generated from the same genomic gene via alternative splicing. Origination of Grx1(as) and Grx1 from the same gene was confirmed by chromosomal localization of the Grx1(as) gene to chromosome 5q13, the same location where the Grx1 gene was localized previously. During screening of the Grx1(as) genomic gene, two additional glutaredoxin pseudogenes were also isolated. Surprisingly, these pseudogenes contained 3'-untranslated regions that were nearly identical to the 3'-untranslated regions of Grx1(as,) not Grx1, cDNA. Because 3'-untranslated regions may be important in stabilizing mRNAs, the effect of the two 3'-untranslated regions of Grx1 and Grx1(as) on mRNA stability was investigated using luciferase reporter vectors with the 3'-untranslated regions. Luciferase activity was 2.6-fold greater in cells transfected with the reporter vector containing the 3'-untranslated region of Grx1(as) cDNA compared with the 3'-untranslated region of Grx1 cDNA. These data indicate that Grx1(as) cDNA is an alternatively spliced human Grx1 cDNA and that the Grx1(as) 3'-untranslated region may have a role in stabilizing mRNA. 相似文献

Structure of a human serum amyloid A gene and modulation of its expression in transfected L cells 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
The structure of a human serum amyloid A (SAA) genomic clone (SAAg9) has been analyzed and the nucleotide sequence of the coding regions is compared with that of the cDNA for apoSAA1. The leader and coding sequences of exons 2 and 3 are identical to SAA1. However, there are 10 nucleotide and 7 derived amino acid substitutions in exon 4. These changes are identical to the amino acid sequence of the amyloid protein associated with familial Mediterranean fever. In particular, the amino acid substitution (Thr to Phe) at residue 69 of SAA1 may have an important role in this type of hereditary amyloidosis. The genomic clone SAAg9 has been transfected into mouse L cells, and constitutive expression of human specific mRNA and protein were observed in stable transfected clones. The expression of both SAA mRNA and protein were increased by incubation of the transfected cells with purified human interleukin-1 (IL-1), both human and mouse recombinant IL-1, and recombinant human tumor necrosis factor alpha. The induction of SAA is pretranslational and is likely to be mediated by protein factor(s) since incubation with cycloheximide diminished IL-1-dependent increase in SAA mRNA. 相似文献

Cloning and sequence analysis of porcine myoglobin cDNA 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
E Akaboshi 《Gene》1985,40(1):137-140
Porcine myoglobin cDNA clones have been isolated from a cDNA library prepared from enriched heart-myoglobin mRNA. Sequence analysis revealed 59 nucleotides (nt) in the 5'-untranslated, 462 nt in the amino acid (aa)-coding, and 590 nt in the 3'-untranslated regions. The myoglobin cDNA showed a high G + C content (60%). When the nt sequence of the porcine myoglobin cDNA is compared with those of seal and human myoglobin cDNAs deduced from the corresponding genomic myoglobin genes [Blanchetot et al., Nature 301 (1983) 732-734; Weller et al., EMBO J. 3 (1984) 439-446; Akaboshi, Gene 33 (1985) 241-249], a high degree of homology is observed in the 5'-untranslated region and in parts of the 3'-untranslated region, as well as in the coding region. 相似文献

Cloning and nucleotide sequence of ovine prolactin cDNA 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A cDNA expression library was constructed in the lambda gt 11 phage vector using ovine (o) pituitary mRNA. The clone, pOP1, carrying a 934-bp insert contains an open reading frame beginning with the first nucleotide (nt) and ending with the stop codon TAA at nt position 781. Two potential translation start codons (ATGs) are present in the 5' region of this cDNA. Translation initiation could occur at the 5' proximal ATG at nt position 61. The nucleotide sequence around this ATG (TCCATGG), resembles the optimum sequence context for translation initiation by the eukaryotic ribosomes, as defined by mutational analysis [Kozak, Cell 44 (1986) 283-292)], with its substitution of the A at -3 of the consensus sequence by a T residue in this clone. Translation initiated at this codon could potentially code for the entire pre-prolactin (pre-PRL) molecule. The 3'-untranslated region is 154 nt long and contains a polyadenylation signal AATAAA. The deduced amino acid sequence agrees in totality with the published amino acid sequence of the mature hormone. The present study reports on the nucleotide sequence of o-PRL mRNA and the deduced amino acid sequence in the signal peptide of the hormone. 相似文献

Cloning and expression of a human muscle phosphofructokinase cDNA 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
The nucleotide sequence of a 2.86-kb cDNA clone containing the complete human muscle phosphofructokinase (PFK) protein-coding region was determined. It comprises 76 bp of 5'-untranslated sequence, 2340 bp encoding human muscle PFK polypeptide, and 399 bp of 3'-untranslated sequence plus a poly(A) tract. A retroviral vector was utilized to express the product of this coding sequence in mouse fibroblasts. The PFK-coding cDNA was shown to code for an enzymatically active polypeptide by immunoprecipitation analysis and DEAE-Sephadex A-25 chromatography. 相似文献

Human adenosine deaminase. cDNA and complete primary amino acid sequence 总被引:20,自引:0,他引:20
P E Daddona D S Shewach W N Kelley P Argos A F Markham S H Orkin 《The Journal of biological chemistry》1984,259(19):12101-12106
A previously cloned partial adenosine deaminase cDNA insert (0.8 kilobase) was used to clone additional nucleotide sequences from human HPB ALL cDNA libraries. cDNA encompassing the entire coding, and 3'-untranslated regions as well as nearly all of the 5'-untranslated region was obtained. The complete amino acid sequence of the enzyme deduced from the cDNA sequence and protein sequencing consists of 362 amino acids, excluding the initiator Met, and accounts for Mr = 40,638. Secondary structure predictions assign adenosine deaminase to the alpha/beta class of proteins. Northern blot analysis with a cDNA probe showed adenosine deaminase mRNA to be present in normal to above normal amounts in B-lymphoblasts derived from adenosine deaminase-deficient patients with severe combined immunodeficiency disease. Knowledge of the cDNA and primary amino acid sequence of adenosine deaminase will be pivotal in further defining the genetic abnormality and its functional consequences in adenosine deaminase expression defects. 相似文献

Manganese superoxide dismutase: nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequence of a cDNA encoding a new human transcript. 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
S L Church 《Biochimica et biophysica acta》1990,1087(2):250-252
Three human cDNA libraries were screened with a human manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) cDNA under moderately stringent conditions to characterize a large 4-6 kb RNA species which hybridizes to Mn-SOD in RNA blot analyses. A new 4.2 kb Mn-SOD cDNA clone (Mn-SOD 1) was isolated. Its long 3426 nucleotide 3'-untranslated sequence contains both of the 240 base 3'-untranslated sequences of the 1 kb Mn-SOD 4 and 5 cDNAs. This is a fully processed, cytoplasmic RNA species and raises the possibility of a role for particular 3'-untranslated sequence selection in Mn-SOD gene regulation. 相似文献
