Lysyl oxidase (EC 1.4.3.13) initiates the crosslinking of collagens and elastin by catalyzing oxidative deamination of the epsilon-amino group in certain lysine and hydroxylysine residues. We report here on the isolation and characterization of cDNA clones for the enzyme from human placenta and rat aorta lambda gt11 cDNA libraries. A cDNA clone for human lysyl oxidase covers all the coding sequences, 230 nucleotides of the 5' and 299 nucleotides, of the 3' untranslated sequences, including a poly(A) tail of 23 nucleotides. This cDNA encodes a polypeptide of 417 amino acid residues, including a signal peptide of 21 amino acids. Sequencing of two rat lysyl oxidase cDNA clones indicated six differences between the present and the previously published sequence for the rat enzyme [Trackman et al. (1990) Biochemistry 29: 4863-4870], resulting in frameshifts in the translated sequence. The human lysyl oxidase sequence was found to be 78% identical to the revised rat sequence at the nucleotide level and 84% identical at the amino acid level, with the degree of identity unevenly distributed between various regions of the coded polypeptide. Northern blot analysis of human skin fibroblasts RNA indicated that the human lysyl oxidase cDNA hybridizes to at least four mRNA species; their sizes are about 5.5, 4.3, 2.4, and 2.0 kb. Analysis of a panel of 25 human x hamster cell hybrids by Southern blotting mapped the human lysyl oxidase gene to chromosome 5, and in situ hybridization mapped it to 5q23.3-31.2.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

We have isolated cDNA clones coding for apolipoprotein E (apoE) from a cDNA library prepared from adult human liver mRNA. Mixtures of 128 different oligonucleotides, 17 residues long were synthesised to be complementary to regions of the mRNA corresponding to amino acids 1-6 and 151-156. Five independent apoE clones were selected by direct screening of 5000 recombinants with the two oligonucleotide mixtures. Two overlapping clones contain the 3'-untranslated sequence, the entire coding sequence and an additional 30 bases 5' to the amino terminus of the mature protein. The DNA sequence has been determined spanning the known sites of amino acid substitutions which account for the observed protein polymorphism of apoE. Using the clones as probes in Northern blot analysis of total human liver and kidney RNAs and leucocyte poly(A)+ RNA we have detected a single species of mRNA in liver and kidney of 1.2 kb and two larger species in leucocyte RNA. The level of expression of the mRNA in kidney is approximately 10% of that in liver while the level of apoE RNA sequences in the leucocytes is less than 1% of that in the liver. 相似文献

Nearly complete cDNA clones for human aldolase A mRNA were isolated from human liver cDNA library and the nucleotide sequence determined. Using the cDNA clone as a probe the length of human aldolase A mRNAs, isolated from the skeletal muscle, liver and placenta tissues, was measured by RNA blotting and estimated to be 1,600 nucleotides for skeletal muscle mRNA and 1,700 nucleotides for both the liver and placenta mRNAs, indicating that different species of mRNA coding for human aldolase A were expressed in the different tissues. 相似文献

Structure of mouse fatty acid synthase mRNA. Identification of the two NADPH binding sites 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Overlapping cDNA clones corresponding to 3.3 kb covering the carboxy-half and 3' non-coding regions of the single 8.2 kb mouse fatty acid synthase mRNA were isolated and sequenced. The sequence coded for 838 amino acid residues, followed by termination codon TAG, 771 nucleotides of 3' untranslated sequence and a poly A tail. For the first time, the two putative components of the NADPH binding sites of fatty acid synthase were identified, thereby making it possible to assign the enoyl reductase and beta-ketoacyl reductase domains of the multifunctional fatty acid synthase. Overall, the deduced amino acid sequence provides the domains for enoyl reductase, beta-ketoacyl reductase, acyl carrier protein and thioesterase of the mouse fatty acid synthase. 相似文献

Two recombinant clones, pA2 and pA3, containing cDNA sequences for human aldolase B have been isolated from a full length human liver cDNA library. The larger one, pA3, has been subcloned in M13 phage and completely sequenced with the chain terminator method. The sequence covers 1,600 nucleotides including the whole coding region (1,050 nucleotides), 67 nucleotides from the 5' non-coding region and the whole 3' non-coding region, 440 nucleotides long, down to the poly-A tail. Comparison with rabbit aldolase A and with a partial sequence of rat aldolase B, shows a homology of about 76% for aldolase A and of about 94% for aldolase B, which indicates that the sequenced cDNA codes for the liver isoenzyme. This is the first complete sequence reported for human aldolase B. The pA3 clone strongly hybridizes to 18S mRNA from human adult liver as expected from the size of the isolated cDNA. 相似文献

Cytosolic and mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase cDNAs were cloned from a lambda gt11 rat liver cDNA library. The complete coding sequence and the 3' non-coding sequence of the cytosolic isozyme mRNA were obtained from two overlapping cDNA clones. Partial sequences of the mitochondrial enzyme cDNAs were found to be identical to the recently published complete sequence (Mattingly, J. R., Jr., Rodriguez-Berrocal, F. J., Gordon, J., Iriarte, A., and Martinez-Carrion, M. (1987) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 149, 859-865). A single mRNA (2.4 kb (kilobase pair] hybridizing to the mitochondrial cDNA probe was detected by Northern blot analysis, whereas the cytosolic cDNA probe labeled one major (2.1 kb) and two minor (1.8 and 4 kb) mRNAs. The 1.8-kb and the 2.1-kb cytosolic aspartate aminotransferase mRNAs differ in their 3' ends and probably result from the use of either of the two polyadenylation signals present in the 3' noncoding region of the major cytosolic aspartate aminotransferase mRNA. Glucocorticoid hormones increased the activity of cytosolic but not mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase in both liver and kidney. The increase in the enzyme activity was accompanied by an increase in the amount of the three corresponding mRNAs, while the mitochondrial enzyme mRNA was not significantly modified. 相似文献

Mouse sperm-specific lactate dehydrogenase-C (LDH-C) cDNA was cloned and sequenced from lambda gt11 expression library. The LDH-C cDNA insert of 1236 bp consists of the protein-coding sequence (999 bp), the 5' (54 bp) and 3' (113 bp) non-coding regions, and the poly(A) tail (70 bp). The Northern blot analysis of poly(A)-containing RNAs from mouse testes and liver indicates that the LDH-C gene is expressed in testes but not in liver, and that its mRNA is approx. 1400 nucleotides in length. The nucleotide and amino acid sequences of the mouse LDH-C cDNA show 73% and 72% homologies, respectively, with those of the mouse LDH-A. The Southern blot analysis of genomic DNAs from mouse liver and human placenta indicates the presence of multiple LDH-C gene-related sequences. 相似文献

One isoform of the regulatory subunit of type II cAMP-dependent protein kinase (R-II51; Mr = 51,000) and its electrophoretic variants (R-II51.5 and R-II52; Mr = 51,500 and 52,000, respectively) are selectively induced by estradiol and follicle-stimulating hormone (cAMP) in rat ovarian granulosa cells. To ascertain the amino acid sequence of R-II51 and to gain insight into the molecular events regulating the intracellular content of ovarian follicular R-II51, we constructed a lambda gt11 cDNA expression library from poly(A)+ RNA of hormone-primed rat granulosa cells. A 1.5-kilobase (kb) cDNA insert, isolated from a plaque-purified R-II antibody positive bacteriophage clone, selectively bound R-II51 mRNA as demonstrated by analysis of the hybrid-selected translation product. Restriction maps and sequence analyses of the 1.5-kb cDNA insert and of the 1.8- and 2.2-kb cDNA inserts from two additional clones showed overlapping sequences which span a region of 3065 nucleotides in size. The 1.5- and 1.8-kb cDNA inserts each contained poly(A) addition signals (1508 and 1761 nucleotides, respectively), terminal poly(A) sequences, and the entire coding region for R-II51 (1204 nucleotides) except for a small number of nucleotides at the 5' end. The 2.2-kb cDNA insert contained 394 nucleotides of the coding region a long 3' untranslated region and two more poly(A) addition signals (3041 and 3059 nucleotides). An amino acid microsequence surrounding the autophosphorylation site of pure rat ovarian R-II51 agreed with the amino acid sequence deduced from the nucleotide sequence of the cDNA. Northern blot analyses demonstrated two major mRNA species (1.8 and 3.2 kb in size) in hormone-primed rat ovaries which were approximately 10- and 50-fold greater than the R-II mRNA content in rat brain and rat heart, respectively. Southern blot analysis of rat liver DNA indicated that a single gene codes for R-II51 mRNA. Structural differences among rat ovarian R-II51, rat heart R-II54, and the known amino acid sequences of bovine R-II and R-I subunits also indicate that the rat ovarian R-II51 subunit is the product of a distinct gene. 相似文献

The nucleotide sequence of several cDNA clones coding for the phosphate translocator from spinach chloroplasts has been determined. The cDNA clones were selected from a lambda gt10 library prepared from poly(A)+ mRNA of spinach leaves using oligonucleotide probes modeled from amino acid sequences of tryptic peptides prepared from the isolated translocator protein. A 1439 bp insert of one of the clones codes for the entire 404 amino acid residues of the precursor protein corresponding to a mol. wt of 44,234. The full-length clone includes 21 bp at the transcribed non-coding 5' region with the ribosome initiation sequence ACAATGG, a 1212 bp coding region and 199 bp at the non-coding 3' region excluding the poly(A) tail which starts 17 bp downstream from a putative polyadenylation signal, AATAAT. According to secondary structure predictions the mature part of the chloroplast phosphate translocator exhibits high hydrophobicity and consists of at least seven membrane-spanning segments. Using plasmid-programmed wheat germ lysate the precursor protein was synthesized in vitro and could be imported into spinach chloroplasts where it is inserted into the inner envelope membrane. 相似文献

Platelet glycoprotein (GP) IIb is one of the two subunits of the common platelet adhesion receptor, GPIIb-IIIa. The isolation, characterization and sequencing of cDNA clones encoding for the two polypeptide chains of GPIIb are described. A number of clones were isolated from lambda gt11 libraries constructed with mRNA from an erythroleukemic cell line, HEL, and human megakaryocytes. Two of these clones, lambda IIb1, from HEL cells, and lambda IIb2, from megakaryocytes, cross-hybridized and were selected for detailed analysis. The identification of these as authentic GPIIb clones was based on immunological criteria and confirmed by the presence of nucleotide sequences in each insert encoding for known protein sequences of platelet GPIIb. These clones contained inserts of 1.54 kb and 1.39 kb, respectively, with an overlapping sequence of 801 bp. The nucleotide sequence of the overlapping region was identical indicating that HEL cells produce a protein closely related, if not identical, to platelet GPIIb. The determined nucleotide sequence of two inserts included a coding sequence for 648 amino acid residues, a TAG stop codon and 185 nucleotides of 3' non-coding sequence followed by a poly(A) tail. The coding sequence contained a portion of the heavy chain, the junction between the heavy and light chains and the entire light chain including a potential transmembrane-spanning domain and a short cytoplasmic tail. When these cDNA were used to probe for GPIIb mRNA, a single mRNA species of 3.9 kb was identified in both HEL cells and human megakaryocytes. A comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence for GPIIb with those of the alpha subunit of the vitronectin and the fibronectin receptors revealed extensive homologies. These homologies further establish that GPIIb-IIIa from platelets, together with the vitronectin and the fibronectin receptors, are members of a supergene family of adhesion receptors with a recognition specificity for Arg-Gly-Asp amino acid sequences. 相似文献

We have cloned overlapping segments of the human thyroglobulin gene from a genomic cosmid library. Restriction mapping and electron microscopy show that a region of 38 kb at or near the 3'-end of this gene encodes only 850 nucleotides or 10% of the messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence. The region contains five exons of 130-210 nucleotides, split by introns of 1 to 15-17 kb. This represents the lowest ratio of coding to non-coding DNA (2.2%) found thus far in any eukaryotic gene. Blot hybridization under non-stringent conditions shows the presence of only one copy of this gene in the human genome and the absence of other closely related sequences. 相似文献

The 18S defective interfering RNA of Semliki Forest virus has been reverse transcribed to cDNA, which was shown to be heterogeneous by restriction enzyme analysis. After transformation to E.coli, using pBR322 as a vector, two clones, pKTH301 and pKTH309 with inserts of 1.7 kb and 2 kb, were characterized, respectively. The restriction maps of the two clones were different but suggested that both contained repeating units. At the 3' terminus, pKTH301 had preserved 106 nucleotides and pKTH309 102 nucleotides from the 3' end of the viral 42S genome. The conserved 3' terminal sequence was joined to a different sequence in the two clones, and these sequences were not derived from the region coding for the viral structural proteins. The DI RNAs represented by the two clones are generated from the viral 42S RNA by several noncontinuous internal deletions, since the largest colinear regions with 42S RNA are 320 nucleotides in pKTH301, and 430 and 340 nucleotides in pKTH309. All these fragments had unique RNase T1 oligonucleotide fingerprints, suggesting that they were derived from different regions of 42S RNA. 相似文献

IGF-I gene expression in mammals typically results in multiple mRNA species ranging in size between 0.7 and 7.6 kb. The smaller mRNA species have largely been characterized by the analysis of nearly full-length cDNAs. This report describes the first complete sequence of the prominent high molecular weight (7.6 kb) IGF-I mRNA species. Isolation and nucleotide sequence analysis of cDNA clones from human adult liver and uterus leiomyoma cDNA libraries resulted in a 7236 bp long sequence followed by a poly(A) tail. The sequence data, in combination with structural analysis of the human IGF-I gene, show that the 7.6 kb human IGF-I mRNA contains 6611 bp of untranslated 3' terminal sequence derived from a single exon. Alternate employment of two polyadenylation signals within the sequence transcribed from this exon generates two mRNAs of 1.1 and 7.6 kb. 相似文献

Molecular cloning of bovine beta-lactoglobulin cDNA 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A cDNA library from bovine mammary gland mRNA was constructed in pBR322 and screened by hybrid-selected translation and immunoscreening. Several beta-lactoglobulin clones were identified and sequenced. All clones contained cDNA fragments corresponding to the 3' region of beta-lactoglobulin mRNA. The 3' non-translated region of beta-lactoglobulin mRNA consists of 187 nucleotides; the polyadenylation signal AATAAA occurs 17 nucleotides before the poly(A) tail. The amino-acid sequence predicted from the 3' coding region corresponds completely to the previously determined amino-acid sequence of beta-lactoglobulin. 相似文献

A human placenta cDNA library in lambda gt11 was screened for the expression of tissue factor antigens with rabbit polyclonal anti-human tissue factor immunoglobulin G. Among 4 million recombinant clones screened, one positive, lambda HTF8, expressed a protein that shared epitopes with authentic human brain tissue factor. The 1.1-kilobase cDNA insert of lambda HTF8 encoded a peptide that contained the amino-terminal protein sequence of human brain tissue factor. Northern blotting identified a major mRNA species of 2.2 kilobases and a minor species of approximately 3.2 kilobases in poly(A)+ RNA of placenta. Only 2.2-kilobase mRNA was detected in human brain and in the human monocytic U937 cell line. In U937 cells, the quantity of tissue factor mRNA was increased severalfold by exposure of the cells to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. Additional cDNA clones were selected by hybridization with the cDNA insert of lambda HTF8. These overlapping isolates span 2177 base pairs of the tissue factor cDNA sequence that includes a 5'-noncoding region of 75 base pairs, an open reading frame of 885 base pairs, a stop codon, a 3'-noncoding region of 1141 base pairs, and a poly(A) tail. The open reading frame encodes a 33-kilodalton protein of 295 amino acids. The predicted sequence includes a signal peptide of 32 or 34 amino acids, a probable extracellular factor VII binding domain of 217 or 219 amino acids, a transmembrane segment of 23 amino acids, and a cytoplasmic tail of 21 amino acids. There are three potential glycosylation sites with the sequence Asn-X-Thr/Ser.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Plasmid clones containing cDNA coding for the B-chain of human Clq were isolated from a liver cDNA library. The longest cDNA insert isolated contained all the coding sequence for amino acid residues B1 to B226 plus a 3' non-translated region of 264 nucleotides that extended into the poly(A) tail, thus accounting for 950 nucleotides of the mRNA. The B-chain mRNA was estimated by Northern-blot analysis to be 1.46 kb (kilobases) long, which indicated that approx. 500 bases were not accounted for in the cDNA clone. A cosmid clone containing the C1q-B chain gene was isolated from a human genomic DNA library. The precise 5' limit of gene was not established, but from the data available it appears that the gene is approx. 2.6 kb long. The coding sequence for residues B1 to B226 in the gene is interrupted by one intron, of 1.1 kb, which is located within the codon coding for glycine at position B36. This glycine residue is located in the middle of the triple-helical regions found in C1q at exactly the position where there is an unusual structural feature, i.e. a bend in each of the helical regions brought about by the interruption of the Gly-Xaa-Yaa repeating triplet sequences in the A- and C-chains and the presence of an 'extra' triplet in the B-chain. Nucleotide sequencing of the 5' end of the gene indicates the presence of a predominantly hydrophobic stretch of 29 amino acids, immediately before residue B1, which could serve as a signal peptide. 相似文献

A number of cDNA clones encoding human ceruloplasmin were identified using two mixed oligonucleotide probes. One of these clones was shown by DNA sequence analysis to span from the complete N-terminal leader sequence to 114 amino acids short of the C-terminus. The leader sequence consists of 19 primarily hydrophobic amino acids. Northern blot analysis of RNA from human liver showed two species of ceruloplasmin mRNA; a minor species of 3600 nucleotides and a major one of 4400 nucleotides. 相似文献
