The nucleotide sequence for an unusual, cloned human adenosine deaminase cDNA has been determined. Contained within a sequence of 1535 nucleotides is a coding sequence of 1089 nucleotides that encodes a protein of 40,762 daltons. The coding sequence is interrupted by a non-coding region containing 76 nucleotides. Both the 3' and 5' ends of this region have consensus sequences generally associated with splice sites. The 3' untranslated sequence contained 308 nucleotides, including a polyadenylation signal sequence 20 nucleotides from the end. The cloned cDNA appears to correspond to a nuclear mRNA precursor which contains a small intron. 相似文献

The gene coding for the common alpha subunit of the bovine pituitary glycoprotein hormones was isolated from a bovine genomic library. The gene spans roughly 16.5 kbp, contains three intervening sequences, and codes for a message of approximately 730 nucleotides. The complete coding region of the gene was sequenced as well as 315 nucleotides of 5' flanking sequence and the entire intron C. Only a single base difference was found when the sequence of the gene was compared with that of the cDNA. Genomic blotting experiments suggest the presence of a single alpha subunit gene. Comparison of the bovine and human alpha subunit genes indicated that the high level of homology observed in the coding regions has been maintained throughout the 5' and 3' untranslated regions, and at least 90 nucleotides of the 5'flanking regions. Additionally, there is an 18 base pair sequence present in both the 5' flanking and 5' untranslated regions of the gene that is homologous to a region of the chick ovalbumin gene. This ovalbumin sequence has been suggested as a binding site for the progesterone receptor-complex. 相似文献

Casein kinase II is a widely distributed protein serine/threonine kinase. The holoenzyme appears to be a tetramer, containing two alpha or alpha' subunits (or one of each) and two beta subunits. Complementary DNA clones encoding the subunits of casein kinase II were isolated from a human T-cell lambda gt10 library using cDNA clones isolated from Drosophila melanogaster [Saxena et al. (1987) Mol. Cell. Biol. 7, 3409-3417]. One of the human cDNA clones (hT4.1) was 2.2 kb long, including a coding region of 1176 bp preceded by 156 bp (5' untranslated region) and followed by 871 bp (3' untranslated region). The hT4.1 clone was nearly identical in size and sequence with a cDNA clone from HepG2 human hepatoma cultured cells [Meisner et al. (1989) Biochemistry 28, 4072-4076]. Another of the human T-cell cDNA clones (hT9.1) was 1.8 kb long, containing a coding region of 1053 bp preceded by 171 bp (5' untranslated region) and followed by 550 bp (3' untranslated region). Amino acid sequences deduced from these two cDNA clones were about 85% identical. Most of the difference between the two encoded polypeptides was in the carboxy-terminal region, but heterogeneity was distributed throughout the molecules. Partial amino acid sequence was determined in a mixture of alpha and alpha' subunits from bovine lung casein kinase II. The bovine sequences aligned with the 2 human cDNA-encoded polypeptides with only 2 discrepancies out of 535 amino acid positions. This confirmed that the two human T-cell cDNA clones encoded the alpha and alpha' subunits of casein kinase II. Microsequence data determined from separated preparations of bovine casein kinase II alpha subunit and alpha' subunit [Litchfield et al. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 7638-7644] confirmed that hT4.1 encoded the alpha subunit and hT9.1 encoded the alpha' subunit. These studies show that there are two distinct catalytic subunits for casein kinase II (alpha and alpha') and that the sequence of these subunits is largely conserved between the bovine and the human. 相似文献

Nucleotide sequence of cloned complementary deoxyribonucleic acid for the alpha subunit of bovine pituitary glycoprotein hormones 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Recombinant DNA plasmids containing sequences coding for the alpha subunit of the bovine pituitary glycoprotein hormones have been isolated. The nucleotide sequences of three different cDNA clones have been determined. The largest alpha-subunit cDNA clone was found to contain 713 bases including 77 nucleotides from the 5'-untranslated region, 72 nucleotides coding for a precursor segment, 288 nucleotides coding for the mature alpha subunit, and 276 nucleotides from the 3'-untranslated region of the mRNA followed by a poly(A) segment. This cDNA likely represents most of the bovine alpha-subunit mRNA sequence. Nucleotide sequences were obtained from the cDNA inserts of two other alpha-subunit clones, and several differences among the three cDNA sequences have been detected. These differences in nucleotide sequence may represent either individual variation in genomic sequence or cloning artifacts. Comparison of the bovine alpha-subunit cDNA sequence to the sequences of human, rat, and mouse alpha-subunit cDNAs reveals that the bovine sequence has greater than 70% homology with the other cDNAs. The cloned alpha-subunit cDNA should provide a useful probe for further studies of the structure and expression of this interesting gene. 相似文献

We have isolated a Yb-subunit cDNA clone from a GSH S-transferase (GST) cDNA library made from rat liver polysomal poly(A) RNAs. Sequence analysis of one of these cDNA, pGTR200, revealed an open reading frame of 218 amino acids of Mr = 25,915. The deduced sequence is in agreement with the 19 NH2-terminal residues for GST-A. The sequence of pGTR200 differs from another Yb cDNA, pGTA/C44 by four nucleotides and two amino acids in the coding region, thus revealing sequence microheterogeneity. The cDNA insert in pGTR200 also contains 36 nucleotides in the 5' noncoding region and a complete 3' noncoding region. The Yb subunit cDNA shares very limited homology with those of the Ya or Yc cDNAs, but has relatively higher sequence homology to the placental subunit Yp clone pGP5. The mRNA of pGTR200 is not expressed abundantly in rat hearts and seminal vesicles. Therefore, the GST subunit sequence of pGTR200 probably represents a basic Yb subunit. Genomic DNA hybridization patterns showed a complexity consistent with having a multigene family for Yb subunits. Comparison of the amino acid sequences of the Ya, Yb, Yc, and Yp subunits revealed significant conservation of amino acids (approximately 29%) throughout the coding sequences. These results indicate that the rat GSTs are products of at least four different genes that may constitute a supergene family. 相似文献

A 1.7-kb cDNA clone encoding the entire precursor of the E1 beta subunit of the branched-chain alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase (BCKDH) complex was isolated from a bovine liver cDNA library by screening with a mixture of synthetic oligonucleotide probes corresponding to the C-terminal five-residue sequence of the mature E1 beta subunit. A partial amino acid sequence was determined by Edman degradation of the intact subunit and the peptides generated by cleavage at the lysyl bonds. Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed that the isolated cDNA clone contained the 5'-untranslated sequence of 186 nucleotides, the translated sequence of 1176 nucleotides, and the 3'-untranslated sequence of 306 nucleotides with a poly(A) tail. A type AATAAA polyadenylation signal was located 17 nucleotides upstream of the start of a poly(A) tail. Comparison of the amino acid sequence predicted from the nucleotide sequence of the cDNA insert of the clone with the partial amino acid sequence of the mature BCKDH E1 beta subunit showed that the cDNA insert encodes for a 342 amino acid subunit with Mr 37,745 and that the subunit is synthesized as the precursor with a leader sequence of 50 amino acids and processed at the N-terminus. Northern blot analysis using the cDNA insert as a probe showed the presence of a 1.8-1.9-kb mRNA in bovine liver, suggesting that the insert covers nearly a full length of mRNA. Alignment of the deduced amino acid sequence of bovine BCKDH E1 beta with that of the human pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex E1 beta subunit revealed a high degree of sequence homology throughout the two enzymes.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

A cDNA clone covering the whole coding region for a glycinin subunit precursor containing the A1a acidic subunit, one of the A2 family, has been identified from a library of soybean cotyledonary cDNA clones using a mixed oligonucleotide probe. Analysis of the cDNA insert revealed that it contained 1746 nucleotides of mRNA sequence with a 5'-terminal nontranslated region of 54 nucleotides, a signal peptide region corresponding to 19 amino acids, an acidic subunit region (A1a) corresponding to 291 amino acids followed by a basic subunit region corresponding to 185 amino acids, and a 3'-terminal nontranslated region of 207 nucleotides. By comparing the predicted protein sequence of this precursor with that of the legumin A precursor of pea, it was found that glycinin A2 subunit family appeared to be more closely related to the legumin than to the A3 subunit family, and that the evolutional rearrangement of glycinin genes has occurred. 相似文献

The fatty acid synthase (FAS) of animal tissue is a dimer of two identical subunits, each with a Mr of 260,000. The subunit is a single multifunctional protein having seven catalytic activities and a site for binding of the prosthetic group 4'-phosphopantetheine. The mRNA coding for the subunit has an estimated size of 10-16 kb, which is about twice the number of nucleotides needed to code for the estimated 2300 amino acids. We have isolated a positive clone, lambda CFAS, containing FAS gene sequences by screening a chicken genomic library with a segment of a 3' untranslated region of goose fatty acid synthase cDNA clone, pGFAS3, as a hybridization probe. The DNA insert in lambda CFAS hybridizes with synthetic oligonucleotide probes prepared according to the known amino acid sequence of the thioesterase component of the chicken liver fatty acid synthase [Yang, C.-Y., Huang, W.-Y., Chirala, S., & Wakil, S.J. (1988) Biochemistry (preceding paper in this issue)]. Further characterization of the DNA insert shows that the lambda CFAS clone contains about a 4.7-kbp segment from the 3' end of the chicken FAS gene that codes for a portion of the thioesterase domain. Complete sequence analyses of this segment including S1 nuclease mapping, showed that the lambda CFAS clone contains the entire 3' untranslated region of the chicken FAS gene and three exons that code for 162 amino acids of the thioesterase domain from the COOH-terminal end of the fatty acid synthase. Using the exon region of the genomic clone, we were able to isolate a cDNA clone that codes for the entire thioesterase domain of chicken liver fatty acid synthase.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Analysis of several bovine lutropin beta subunit cDNAs reveals heterogeneity in nucleotide sequence 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
R A Maurer 《The Journal of biological chemistry》1985,260(8):4684-4687
Several, independent lutropin beta subunit cDNA clones have been isolated from a lambda gt-11 pituitary cDNA library. The complete nucleotide sequence of four clones was determined. A number of single nucleotide differences were detected including three changes within the coding sequence. One of these nucleotide changes resulted in a change in the predicted amino acid sequence, while two did not. These changes may reflect heterogeneity in the animals from which pituitaries were obtained, or they may reflect errors which occurred during the construction or cloning of the cDNA. Two other differences in nucleotide sequence suggest differences in the processing of precursor mRNAs. One difference involves the deletion of three nucleotides from the coding sequence of one of the clones. This probably reflects the use of alternate splicing sites at intron-exon boundaries. The other likely processing difference is reflected by the fact that one of the clones contains a much longer 3' untranslated region than the other clones. This difference probably arose due to a single nucleotide difference leading to selection of an alternate polyadenylation site. 相似文献

Complete nucleotide sequence of ovine alpha-lactalbumin mRNA 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The nucleotide sequence of ovine alpha-lactalbumin mRNA has been determined by chemical sequencing of two cDNA recombinant plasmids and a primer extension product. Ovine alpha-lactalbumin mRNA contains 723 nucleotides (excluding the poly(A) tail), with a 5' non-coding region of 26 nucleotides, followed by the 426 nucleotides of the coding region which determines a sequence signal of 19 amino acid residues and the 123 amino acid residues of mature alpha-lactalbumin. The coding region is followed by a 3' untranslated sequence of 271 nucleotides. The derived amino acid sequence of ovine pre-alpha-lactalbumin differs from that of its bovine counterpart by 8 amino acid substitutions, all but one originating from single mutations. Comparison of sequences of guinea pig, rat and human alpha-lactalbumin mRNAs with their ovine and bovine counterparts has revealed that these molecules have rapidly evolved. The highest degree of conservation was observed in the region coding for the mature protein and corresponds essentially to sequences which interact with UDP-galactosyltransferase and Ca2+ ions. 相似文献

Two clones (p17 and p13), each containing the complete coding sequence for the bovine cardiac Na+/Ca2+ exchanger, were obtained from a lambda gt10 cDNA library by screening with cDNA probes from the canine exchanger. The coding sequence of clone p17 was 92 and 98% identical to the canine cDNA at the nucleotide and amino acid levels, respectively. Nine of the 21 amino acid differences between the two exchangers were found within the 32-amino acid signal sequence. The sequenced portions of the 3' untranslated regions of the cow and dog clones were 88% identical. Na+/Ca2+ exchange activity was expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes injected with cRNA from clone p17, and in COS cells transfected with expression vectors containing p17. Immunoprecipitation of 35S-labeled proteins from transfected cells with an antibody against the N-terminal portion of the bovine exchanger showed the presence of a 120-kDa protein corresponding to the intact cardiac exchanger. The second bovine clone (p13) did not express exchange activity in either of the above expression systems, presumably because it contained a 300-bp insert with multiple stop codons which interrupted the coding sequence. Comparison of the 5' untranslated regions of p13 and p17 revealed a 156-bp segment in p17 that was apparently spliced out of p13. This segment contained a short open reading frame. A chimera encoding the 5' untranslated region of p13 and the coding sequence of p17 exhibited only a modest (74%) increase in expressed exchange activity in transfected cells compared to p17, suggesting that the presence of the upstream open reading frame in p17 did not greatly reduce translation efficiency. The results suggest that alternate splicing mechanisms may be involved in processing mRNA for the bovine cardiac exchanger. 相似文献

The entire amino acid sequence of the alpha subunit (Mr 64,000) of the eighth component of complement (C8) was determined by characterizing cDNA clones isolated from a human liver cDNA library. Two clones with overlapping inserts of net length 2.44 kilobases (kb) were isolated and found to contain the entire alpha coding region [1659 base pairs (bp)]. The 5' end consists of an untranslated region and a leader sequence of 30 amino acids. This sequence contains an apparent initiation Met, signal peptide, and propeptide which ends with an arginine-rich sequence that is characteristic of proteolytic processing sites found in the pro form of protein precursors. The 3' untranslated region contains two polyadenylation signals and a poly(A) sequence. RNA blot analysis of total cellular RNA from the human hepatoma cell line HepG2 revealed a message size of approximately 2.5 kb. Features of the 5' and 3' sequences and the message size suggest that a separate mRNA codes for alpha and argues against the occurrence of a single-chain precursor form of the disulfide-linked alpha-gamma subunit found in mature C8. Analysis of the derived amino acid sequence revealed several membrane surface seeking domains and a possible transmembrane domain. These occur in a cysteine-free region of the subunit and may constitute the structural basis for alpha interaction with target membranes. Analysis of the carbohydrate composition indicates 1 or 2 asparagine-linked but no O-linked oligosaccharide chains, a result consistent with predictions from the amino acid sequence.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Glycinin A3B4 mRNA. Cloning and sequencing of double-stranded cDNA complementary to a soybean storage protein 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

The cDNA clones encoding the precursor form of glycinin A3B4 subunit have been identified from a library of soybean cotyledonary cDNA clones in the plasmid pBR322 by a combination of differential colony hybridizations, and then by immunoprecipitation of hybrid-selected translation product with A3-mono-specific antiserum. A recombinant plasmid, designated pGA3B41425, from one of six clones covering codons for the NH2-terminal region of the subunit was sequenced, and the amino acid sequence was inferred from the nucleotide sequence, which showed that the mRNA codes for a precursor protein of 516 amino acids. Analysis of this cDNA also showed that it contained 1786 nucleotides of mRNA sequence with a 5'-terminal nontranslated region of 46 nucleotides, a signal peptide region corresponding to 24 amino acids, an A3 acidic subunit region corresponding to 320 amino acids followed by a B4 basic subunit region corresponding to 172 amino acids, and a 3'-terminal nontranslated region of 192 nucleotides, which contained two characteristic AAUAAA sequences that ended 110 nucleotides and 26 nucleotides from a 3'-terminal poly(A) segment, respectively. Our results confirm that glycinin is synthesized as precursor polypeptides which undergo post-translational processing to form the nonrandom polypeptide pairs via disulfide bonds. The inferred amino acid sequence of the mature basic subunit, B4, was compared to that of the basic subunit of pea legumin, Leg Beta, which contained 185 amino acids. Using an alignment that permitted a maximum homology of amino acids, it was found that overall 42% of the amino acid positions are identical in both proteins. These results led us to conclude that both storage proteins have a common ancestor. 相似文献

The bovine C alpha type catalytic subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase was cloned. A partial cDNA was isolated from a bovine heart cDNA library. This clone contained 120 bp of the coding sequence and the entire 3' untranslated region of 1431 bp. The complete coding region was cloned by PCR amplification from total bovine heart and skeletal muscle RNA. The sequence of the 3' oligonucleotide was taken from the partial cDNA clone whereas the 5' oligonucleotide was chosen by comparison of sequences of published C alpha subunits from other species. In the deduced amino acid sequence there is one deviation from the published bovine C alpha protein sequence, aspartic acid 286 is exchanged by an asparagine. The C alpha mRNA was found to be expressed differentially in various bovine tissues. 相似文献

A universal oligonucleotide probe for acetylcholine receptor genes. Selection and sequencing of cDNA clones for the mouse muscle beta subunit 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
A region of 25 nucleotides is highly conserved in genes coding for the alpha, beta, gamma, and delta subunits of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) of human, mouse, calf, chicken, and Torpedo. Based on this observation, a 2-fold degenerate oligonucleotide was synthesized and used as a probe to screen a cDNA library made from a mouse myogenic cell line. Clones coding for the beta, gamma, and delta subunits were identified by the probe. The protein sequence deduced from the beta subunit clones codes for a precursor polypeptide of 501 amino acids with a calculated molecular weight of 56,930 daltons, which includes a signal peptide of 23 amino acids. The protein sequence and structural features of the beta subunits of mouse, calf, and Torpedo are conserved. A clone coding for the mouse gamma subunit was isolated, and its identity was confirmed by alignment of its sequence to previously published cDNA sequences for the mouse and calf gamma subunits. The clone contained approximately 200 nucleotides more at its 3' end untranslated region than a mouse gamma clone recently described. Northern blot analysis, utilizing as probes these beta and gamma subunit cDNAs and previously characterized alpha and delta subunit cDNAs, shows that the steady-state levels of the four AChR mRNAs increase coordinately during terminal differentiation of cultured C2 and C2i mouse myoblasts. The increase in mRNA levels can account for the rise of cell surface receptors during myogenesis and suggests that the muscle AChR genes may be regulated during development by a common mechanism. Utilization of this oligonucleotide probe should prove useful for screening a variety of libraries made from different species and tissues which are known to express AChRs. 相似文献

The regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase designated RII beta (RII51) has previously been shown to be the product of a separate gene. This was accomplished by the molecular cloning of a partial cDNA clone estimated to lack 30-45 nucleotides of the 5' end of the coding region. We hereby report the isolation of a cDNA clone for RII beta from rat granulosa cells, extending 43 nucleotides further 5' compared with the previously published cDNA sequence, and from which the entire amino acid sequence (415 residues) of the rat RII beta protein can be deduced. A cAMP regulated mRNA of 3.2 kilobases (kb) for RII beta was detected by the isolated cDNA in rat Sertoli cells. 相似文献

A novel trypsin-like serine protease (hepsin) with a putative transmembrane domain expressed by human liver and hepatoma cells 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
Recombinant clones with cDNA inserts coding for a new serine protease (hepsin) have been isolated from cDNA libraries prepared from human liver and hepatoma cell line mRNA. The total length of the cDNA is approximately 1.8 kilobases and includes a 5' untranslated region, 1251 nucleotides coding for a protein of 417 amino acids, a 3' untranslated region, and a poly(A) tail. The amino acid sequence coded by the cDNA for hepsin shows a high degree of identity to pancreatic trypsin and other serine proteases present in plasma. It also exhibits features characteristic of zymogens to serine proteases in that it contains a cleavage site for protease activation and the highly conserved regions surrounding the His, Asp, and Ser residues that participate in enzyme catalysis. In addition, hepsin lacks a typical amino-terminal signal peptide. Hydropathy analysis of the protein sequence, however, revealed a very hydrophobic region of 27 amino acids starting 18 residues downstream from the apparent initiator Met. This region may serve as an internal signal sequence and a transmembrane domain. This putative transmembrane domain could be involved in anchoring hepsin to the cell membrane and orienting it in such a manner that its carboxyl terminus, containing the catalytic domain, is extracellular. 相似文献
