Cloning and sequence analysis of Hemonchus contortus HC58cDNA.

The complete coding sequence of Hemonchus contortus HC58cDNA was generated by rapid amplification of cDNA ends and polymerase chain reaction using primers based on the 5' and 3' ends of the parasite mRNA, accession no. AF305964. The HC58cDNA gene was 851 bp long, with open reading frame of 717 bp, precursors to 239 amino acids coding for approximately 27 kDa protein. Analysis of amino acid sequence revealed conserved residues of cysteine, histidine, asparagine, occluding loop pattern, hemoglobinase motif and glutamine of the oxyanion hole characteristic of cathepsin B like proteases (CBL). Comparison of the predicted amino acid sequences showed the protein shared 33.5-58.7% identity to cathepsin B homologues in the papain clan CA family (family C1). Phylogenetic analysis revealed close evolutionary proximity of the protein sequence to counterpart sequences in the CBL, suggesting that HC58cDNA was a member of the papain family.     

Cloning, sequencing and expression of cDNA encoding growth hormone from Indian catfish (Heteropneustes fossilis)

A tissue-specific cDNA library was constructed using polyA⁺ RNA from pituitary glands of the Indian catfishHeteropneustes fossilis (Bloch) and a cDNA clone encoding growth hormone (GH) was isolated. Using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers representing the conserved regions of fish GH sequences the 3′ region of catfish GH cDNA (540 bp) was cloned by random amplification of cDNA ends and the clone was used as a probe to isolate recombinant phages carrying the full-length cDNA sequence. The full-length cDNA clone is 1132 bp in length, coding for an open reading frame (ORF) of 603 bp; the reading frame encodes a putative polypeptide of 200 amino acids including the signal sequence of 22 amino acids. The 5′ and 3′ untranslated regions of the cDNA are 58 bp and 456 bp long, respectively. The predicted amino acid sequence ofH. fossils GH shared 98% homology with other catfishes. Mature GH protein was efficiently expressed in bacterial and zebrafish systems using appropriate expression vectors. The successful expression of the cloned GH cDNA of catfish confirms the functional viability of the clone.     

Molecular cloning of a novel rat gene Tsarg1, a member of the DnaJ/HSP40 protein family.

Beginning with a mouse gene mTSARG3, which was related to apoptosis of spermatogenic cells, bioinformatics was applied and a predicted novel rat gene full-length cDNA sequence was attained. Gene-specific primers were designed for PCR in rat testis cDNA library. A new gene Tsarg1 (GenBank Accession No. AY380804) was cloned, which is related to apoptosis in rat spermatogenic cells. The gene whose full cDNA length is 1176 bp containing 8 exons and 7 introns is located in rat chromosome 1q32-1q33, which encoded a protein containing 316 amino acid residues and being a new member of HSP40 protein family since the sequence contains the highly conserved J domain, which is present in all DnaJ-like proteins and is supported to have a critical role in DnaJ-DnaK protein-protein interactions. The results of RT-PCR and Northern blot analysis showed that Tsarg1 was specifically expressed in rat testis, which probably inhibits rat testis spermatogenic cell apoptosis.

SGP28, a novel matrix glycoprotein in specific granules of human neutrophils with similarity to a human testis-specific gene product and to a rodent sperm-coating glycoprotein

A novel 28 kDa glycoprotein was purified from exocytosed material from human neutrophils and its primary structure partially determined. Degenerate oligonucleotide primers were used to amplify cDNA clones from a human bone marrow cDNA library. The deduced 245 amino acid sequence of the 2124 bp full-length cDNA showed high degrees of similarity to the deduced sequences of the human gene TPX-1 and of sperm coating glycoprotein from rat and mouse. Subcellular fractionation of human neutrophils indicated that the protein is localized in specific granules. The protein was named SGP28 (specific granule protein of 28 kDa).     

Cloning of the human cDNA which can complement the defect of the yeast mannosyltransferase I-deficient mutant alg 1

The assembly of the lipid-linked oligosaccharide, Glc(3)Man(9)GlcNAc(2)-P-P-Dol, occurs on the rough ER membrane in an ordered stepwise manner. The process is highly conserved among eukaryotes. In order to isolate the human mannosyltransferase I (MT-I) gene involved in the process, we used the Saccharomyces cerevisiae MT-I gene ( ALG1 ), which has already been cloned. On searching the EST database with the amino acid sequence of the ALG1 gene product, we detected seven related human EST clones. A human fetal brain cDNA library was screened by PCR using gene-specific primers based on the EST nucleotide sequences and a 430 bp cDNA fragment was amplified. The cDNA library was rescreened with this 430 bp cDNA, and two cDNA clones (HR1-3 and HR1-4) were isolated and sequenced. On a homology search of the EST database with the nucleotide sequence of HR1-3, we detected a novel human EST clone, AA675921 (GenBank accession number). Based on the nucleotide sequences of AA675921 and HR1-4, we designed gene-specific PCR primers, which allowed to amplify a 1.8 kb cDNA from human fetal brain cDNA. This cDNA was cloned and shown to contain an ORF encoding a protein of 464 amino acids. We designated this ORF as Hmat-1. The amino acid sequence deduced from the Hmat-1 gene showed several highly conserved regions shared with the yeast and nematode MT-I sequences. Furthermore, this 1.8 kb cDNA successfully complemented the S. cerevisiae alg1-1 mutation, indicating that the Hmat-1 gene encodes the human MT-I and that the function of this enzyme was conserved between yeast and human.
