| Abstract: | In this work the complete sequence of 1097 nucleotide bovine beta-casein cDNA has been determined. Sequencing of end labeled fragments was performed using the method of Maxam and Gilbert. Bovine beta-casein cDNA consist of a 672 nucleotide coding region, flanked by 60 nucleotide 5' and 358 nucleotide 3'-noncoding region. The restriction map of beta-casein cDNA was constructed. The computer analysis was done and the comparisons of the complete sequence of bovine beta-casein cDNA with other sequences, coding caseins in bovine, rat and guinea-pig was performed. It was determined, that cloned cDNA is related to genetic variant A1. |
