A cDNA clone encoding rat alpha 1-antitrypsin has been isolated from a lambda gt-11 rat liver cDNA library using an antigen-overlay immunoscreening method. The nucleotide sequence of this cDNA clone is 1306 base pairs in length and has a coding region of 1224 base pairs which can be translated into an alpha 1-antitrypsin precursor protein consisting of 408 amino acid residues. The cDNA sequence contains a termination codon, TAA, at position 1162 and a polyadenylation signal sequence, AATAAT, at position 1212. The calculated molecular weight of the translated mature protein is 43,700 with 387 amino acid residues; this differs from purified rat alpha 1-antitrypsin's apparent molecular weight of 54,000 because of glycosylation. Five potential glycosylation sites were identified on the basis of the cDNA sequence. The translated mature protein sequence from the cDNA clone matches completely with the N-terminal 33 amino acids of purified rat alpha 1-antitrypsin, which has an N-terminal Glu. The cDNA encoding rat alpha 1-antitrypsin shares 70% and 80% sequence identity with its human and mouse counterparts, respectively. The reactive center sequence of rat alpha 1-antitrypsin is highly conserved with respect to human alpha 1-antitrypsin, both having Met-Ser at the P1 and P1' residues. Genomic Southern blot analysis yielded a simple banding pattern, suggesting that the rat alpha 1-antitrypsin gene is single-copy. Northern blot analysis using the cDNA probe showed that rat alpha 1-antitrypsin is expressed at high levels in the liver and at low levels in the submandibular gland and the lung.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Spermine binding protein (SBP) is a rat ventral prostate protein that binds various polyamines, and the level of this protein and its mRNA is regulated by androgens. Previously, the cDNA for SBP was cloned and sequenced and an amino acid sequence deduced from the cDNA. Data from cloned and sequenced and an amino acid sequence deduced from the cDNA. Data from partial amino acid sequencing of the purified protein were consistent with the amino acid sequence deduced from the cDNA. However, the amino terminus of the protein was blocked, and therefore, direct protein sequence information confirming the cDNA reading frame of this region could not be obtained by Edman degradation. We have now employed an integrated approach using fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry, tandem mass spectrometry, and conventional sequencing methodologies to establish the amino-terminal sequence of the protein and to identify an amino acid sequence (35 residues) present in the purified protein but missing from the amino acid sequence deduced from cDNA clones for this protein. The missing piece of cDNA corresponds to an exon found in mouse genomic clones for a protein similar to rat SBP. Therefore, the cDNA clones for rat SBP may represent splicing variants that lack the sequence information of one exon. The blocked amino terminus of the protein was identified as 5-oxopyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid. Mass spectrometry also provided evidence regarding glycosylation of the protein. The first of two potential glycosylation sites clearly carries carbohydrate; the second site is, at most, only partially glycosylated. 相似文献

A full length cDNA for a human lysosomal membrane sialoglycoprotein (hLGP85) was isolated as a probe of the cDNA of rat LGP85 (rLGP85) from the cDNA library prepared from total mRNA of QGP-1NL cells, a human pancreatic islet tumor cell with a high metastatic activity. The deduced amino acid sequence shows that hLGP85 consists of 478 amino acid residues (MW. 54,289). The protein has 10 putative N-glycosylation sites and 2 hydrophobic regions at the NH2- and near the COOH-termini, respectively. Thus, both domains probably constitute putative transmembrane domains. It exhibits 86% and 79% sequence similarities in amino acids and nucleic acids to rat lysosomal membrane sialoglycoprotein (rLGP85), respectively. The protein contained the short cytoplasmic tail at the COOH-terminus which does not form the glycine-tyrosine sequence (GY motif), the so-called lysosomal targetting signal. 相似文献

Amino acid sequence of rat liver cathepsin L 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The complete amino acid sequences of the heavy and light chains of rat liver cathepsin L (EC 3.4.22.15) were determined at the protein level. The heavy and light chains consisted of 175 and 44 amino acid residues, respectively, and their Mr values without glycosyl groups calculated from these sequences were 18941 and 5056, respectively. The amino acid sequence was also determined from the N-terminal sequences of the heavy and light chains, and the sequences of cleavage fragments of the heavy chain with lysylendopeptidase and cyanogen bromide. The fragments were aligned by comparison with the amino acid sequence deduced from the sequence of cDNA of rat preprocathepsin L. The sequence of rat liver cathepsin L determined at the protein level was identical with that deduced from the cDNA sequence except that in the heavy chain, residues 176-177 (Asp-Ser) were not present at the C-terminus and alanine was replaced by proline at residue 125. Asn-108 in the heavy chain is modified with carbohydrate. 相似文献

The transporter associated with antigen presentation (TAP) is an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) protein which transports peptides for presentation to the immune system. TAP is composed of two half transporters, TAP1 (ABCB2) and TAP2 (ABCB3), which heterodimerize to function. In humans, the TAP family consists of TAP1, TAP2, and TAPL (ABCB9). While the TAP1-TAP2 complex is well characterized, TAPL's dimerization state and function are unknown. To identify interactions within the human TAP family, we adapted the dihydrofolate reductase protein-fragment complementation assay (DHFR PCA) to half ABC transporters. This assay has been shown to be suitable for the study of membrane-bound proteins in vivo [Remy, I., Wilson, I. A., and Michnick, S. W. (1999) Science 283, 990-993]. With this method, in vivo TAP1-TAP2 heterodimerization was confirmed, no homodimerizations were detected with TAP1 or TAP2, and TAPL did not show any interaction with TAP1 or TAP2. However, we found strong evidence that TAPL forms homodimers. These results provide evidence of a novel homomeric TAPL interaction and demonstrate that the DHFR PCA will be of general utility in studies of half ABC transporter interactions in vivo. 相似文献

A 21,000-dalton Ca(2+)-binding protein (Walsh, M.P., Valentine, K.A., Ngai, P.K., Carruthers, C.A., and Hollengerg, M.D. (1984) Biochem. J. 224, 117-127) was purified from the rat brain and through the use of oligonucleotide probe based on partial amino acid sequence, cDNA clones were obtained from rat brain cDNA library. The complete amino acid sequence deduced from the cDNA contains 191 residues and has a calculated molecular mass of 22,142 daltons. There are three potential Ca(2+)-binding sites like the EF hands in the sequence. It displays striking sequence homology with visinin and recoverin, retina-specific Ca(2+)-binding proteins. Northern blot analysis revealed that the protein is highly and specifically expressed in the brain. 相似文献

In this paper, the cloning and nucleotide sequence of the cDNA of the rat gene coding for hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (hprt) is reported. Knowledge of the cDNA sequence is needed, among other reasons, for the molecular analysis of hprt mutations occurring in rat cells, such as skin fibroblasts isolated according to the granuloma pouch assay. The rat hprt cDNA was synthesized and used as a template for in vitro amplification by PCR. For this purpose, oligonucleotide primers were used, the nucleotide sequences of which were based on mouse and hamster hprt cDNA sequences. Sequence analysis of 1146 bp of the amplified rat hprt cDNA showed a single open reading frame of 654 bp, encoding a protein of 218 amino acids. In the predicted rat hprt amino acid sequence, the proposed functional domains for 5'-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate (PRPP) and nucleotide binding in phosphoribosylating enzymes as well as a region near the carboxyl terminal part were highly conserved when compared with amino acid sequences of other mammalian hprt proteins. Analysis of hprt amino acid sequences of 727 independent hprt mutants from human, mouse, hamster and rat cells bearing single amino acid substitutions revealed that a large variety of amino acid changes were located in these highly conserved regions, suggesting that all 3 domains are important for proper catalytic activity. The suitability of the hprt gene as target for mutational analysis is demonstrated by the fact that amino acid changes in at least 151 of the 218 amino acid residues of the hprt protein result in a 6-thioguanine-resistant phenotype. 相似文献

A cDNA library of newborn rat brain poly(A+) RNA in lambda gt 11 was screened with a synthetic oligonucleotide probe corresponding to a five amino acid sequence in the N-terminal region of the calf helix-destabilizing protein, UP1. Six positive phage were isolated after testing 2 X 10(5) recombinants, and each phage was plaque purified. Four of these phage clones were positive with a second oligonucleotide probe corresponding to a 5 amino acid sequence in the C-terminal region of calf UP1; one of the clones positive with both probes was selected for detailed study. This phage, designated lambda HDP-182, contained a 1706-base pair cDNA insert corresponding to an mRNA with a poly(A) sequence at the 3' terminus and a single open reading frame starting 63 bases from the 5' terminus and extending 988 bases. The 3' untranslated region of the mRNA contained 718 bases, including an AAUAAA signal 21 bases from the poly(A) sequence and a 16-residue poly(U) sequence flanked on each side by oligonucleotide repeats. Primer extension analysis of newborn rat brain poly(A+) RNA suggested that the cDNA insert in lambda HDP-182 was full length except for about 35 nucleotide residues missing from the 5' end untranslated region, and Northern blot analysis revealed one relatively abundant mRNA species of approximately the same size as the cDNA insert. The 988-residue open reading frame in the cDNA predicted a 34,215-dalton protein of 320 amino acids. Residues 2 through 196 of this rat protein are identical to the 195-residue sequence of the calf helix-destabilizing protein, UP1. The 124-amino acid sequence in the C-terminal portion of the 34,215-dalton protein is not present in purified calf UP1. This 124-residue sequence has unusual amino acid content in that it is 11% asparagine, 15% serine, and 40% glycine and consists of 16 consecutive oligopeptide repeats. Computer-derived secondary structure predictions for the 34,215-dalton protein revealed two distinct domains consisting of residues 1 through approximately 196 and residues approximately 197 to 320, respectively. 相似文献

Molecular cloning and chromosomal localization of a novel Drosophila protein phosphatase 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
A 1.0 kilobase cDNA coding for the complete amino acid sequence of a putative protein phosphatase (314 amino acid residues, molecular mass 36 kDa) has been isolated from a Drosophila head cDNA library. The cDNA hybridises to a single site on the right arm of the second chromosome at cytological position 55A1-3. The deduced sequence of the protein, designated protein phosphatase-Y, is homologous to the catalytic subunits of Drosophila and rabbit protein phosphatase-1 alpha (64 and 59% identity, respectively) and rabbit protein phosphatase-2A (39% identity). These and other comparisons demonstrate that this novel enzyme is not the Drosophila counterpart of mammalian protein phosphatases 1, 2A, 2B, 2C or X. 相似文献

A 1.96 kbp cDNA encoding a male Beagle dog liver cytochrome P-450 of 503 amino acid residues (Mr 57,636) has been isolated and sequenced. The deduced amino acid sequence is 79.8%, 69.3% and 74.1% identical to the P450IIIA forms human NF25, rat PCN1 and rabbit LM3c, respectively. The amino terminal sequence is identical to the first 28 residues of the dog P450IIIA form PBD-1. Southern blot analysis yields restriction patterns consistent with IIIA gene subfamily multiplicity. 相似文献

We have isolated cDNA clones encoding the rat liver S-adenosylmethionine synthetase by means of immunological screening from a phage lambda gt 11 expression library containing cDNA synthesized from adult rat liver poly(A)-RNA. The amino acid sequence deduced from the cDNA indicates that the rat liver enzyme for this protein contains 397 amino acid residues and has a molecular mass of 43697 Da. The deduced amino acid sequence of rat liver S-adenosylmethionine synthetase was 68% similar to those of yeast S-adenosylmethionine synthetases encoded by two unlinked genes SAM1 and SAM2. The rat liver S-adenosylmethionine synthetase also shows 52% similarity with the deduced amino acid sequence of the MetK gene encoding the S-adenosylmethionine synthetase in Escherichia coli. 相似文献

A 64 kD protein was enriched from rat liver mito-chondria during the purification of choline dehydro-genase (CHDH)[1]. Homologous comparison and func-tional experiments demonstrated that the protein was electron-transfer flavoprotein-ubiquinone oxidoreduc-tase protein (ETF-QO). The N-terminal sequence determination of rat liver ETF-QO protein purified by various methods did not provide unequivocal result. However, when the protein was digested with V8 protease, peptide fragments could b… 相似文献

Rat thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG) cDNAs were isolated from a rat liver cDNA library by using a human TBG cDNA as a probe. From two overlapping cDNA inserts, an aligned cDNA sequence of 1714 nucleotides was obtained. There was 70% homology with human TBG cDNA over the span of 1526 nucleotides. In order to confirm that the cloned cDNA encodes rat TBG and to localize the NH2-terminal amino acid of the mature molecule, the protein was purified by affinity chromatography and subjected to direct protein microsequencing. The NH2-terminal amino acid sequence was identical with that deduced from the nucleotide sequence. The rat TBG cDNA sequenced consisted of a truncated leader sequence (35 nucleotides), the complete sequence encoding the mature protein (1194 nucleotides) and the 3'-untranslated region (485 nucleotides), containing two polyadenylation signals. It was deduced that rat TBG consists of 398 amino acids (Mr = 44,607), three NH2-terminal residues more than human TBG, with which it shares 76% homology in primary structure. Of the six potential N-glycosylation sites, four are located in conserved positions compared to human TBG. Northern blot analysis of rat liver revealed an approximately 1.8-kilobase TBG mRNA. Its amount increased markedly following thyroidectomy and decreased with thyroxine treatment in a dose-dependent manner. 相似文献

Three cDNA clones encoding rat basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF) were isolated from 10(6) independent clones prepared from a pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG)-stimulated rat ovarian cDNA library. One of the cDNA clones contained the entire coding sequence for basic FGF. The other two possessed the sequence coding the carboxy terminal 61 amino acids of rat basic FGF, the putative upstream intron sequence, and a 3'-noncoding region. The cDNAs encoding rat basic FGF predict a molecule consisting of 154 amino acid residues, which is one amino acid shorter than the human and bovine basic FGF. Otherwise, there are only 5 conservative amino acid substitutions between the rat and the human/bovine sequences. Poly A+ RNA from brain cortex and hypothalamus show a single 6.0 kb band that hybridizes to the cloned cDNA probe by Northern analyses. The observation that basic FGF mRNA is below the limits of detection in adrenal, spleen, heart, lung, kidney, liver, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, testis, and ovary support the notion that the that the high levels of the protein found in these tissues is due to storage of the mitogen in the extracellular matrix and not continuous gene expression. The significance of the abundance of mRNA in tissues which are not undergoing either active angiogenesis or cell proliferation (hypothalamus and brain cortex) is unclear but emphasizes the potential neuronotrophic function of basic FGF. 相似文献

The primary structure of human Rieske iron-sulfur protein of mitochondrial cytochrome bc1 complex deduced from cDNA analysis 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We isolated a cDNA encoding human Rieske Fe-S protein of mitochondrial cytochrome bc1 complex from a fibroblast cDNA library by colony hybridization. The cDNA contains the nucleotide sequence encoding all of the amino acids (274 residues) comprising the putative precursor to the protein. Based on the known amino acid sequence of bovine Rieske Fe-S protein, the N-terminal extension sequence is presumed to be composed of 78 amino acids with a molecular weight of 8053. The mature protein consists of the same number of amino acid residues as that of its rat and bovine counterparts, having a homology of about 92% with the latter. 相似文献
